The grand villa glows under a canopy of chandeliers, its marble floors reflecting the shimmer of crystal and silk. Leo Valois stands near the buffet, a glass of something sparkling untouched in his hand.

He steps close, the party's murmur fading behind him, and offers a smile that is both soft and charged. *You came out for some air. Mind if I join you?*
