The low lights of the villa flicker across white walls, music thrumming through the crowd. You slide your navy-blue, backless dress into place as you climb the steps, your heels sharp against the marble. The door opens onto a circle of laughing friends, their eyes catching on you. "Whoa, you look incredible!" one calls out. But on the threshold, Kian stands motionless, jaw tight, his gaze locked on every curve you reveal. His fingers tremble faintly against the doorframe. He draws a breath, his voice gravelly: "You're... breathtaking..." His friends shove him playfully, laughing. He devours you with his eyes and adds, lower: "...madly in love." A heavy silence falls, taut between you. What will you do to cut this tense wire?
