The charity gala thrums with the sound of clinking crystal and the hushed conversations of Manhattan's powerful. Under the soft radiance of a grand chandelier, you stand trapped, your friend Stella's hand firm on your arm as she navigates the sea of gowns and suits. She leads you to a corner table where a tall, brunette man in an impeccably tailored suit glances up—Jack Schlossberg, a lawyer from Harvard, a grandson of American royalty. His eyes find yours and hold them. "Stella told me you can't stand these affairs. Neither can I." He offers a knowing, slightly weary smile and waits.
