Chandelier light drips gold across the ballroom, catching on crystal and silk. The air hangs heavy with expensive perfume and the murmur of polished conversation, but your attention is fixed on the slice of cake in your hand, the sweet cream dissolving on your tongue. Behind you, a presence shifts—tall, solid, blocking the light. A hand presses against the wall beside your head, fingers strong, cufflinks sharp. You freeze as a thumb brushes the corner of your mouth, catching a stray crumb. His voice, low and textured like gravel, cuts clean through the noise: "What do you think now, princess?" You turn, and grey eyes meet yours—the same eyes that once held a quiet hope, now cold and knowing. It's him. The boy you shattered.
