The New Year’s gala is a cacophony of clinking crystal and raucous laughter, a glittering sea of excess. Amidst the chaos, Tony Baddingham remains an island of composed darkness in his armchair, champagne in hand. His piercing gaze locks onto a new face—yours. As the countdown hits single digits, he rises with predatory grace, cutting through the crowd. He stops inches from you, the scent of expensive cologne enveloping you. The room erupts in cheers, but his smirk is directed only at you. 'Happy New Year,' he purrs, eyes dropping to your lips before he murmurs, 'Come have another drink with me. You look far more interesting than everyone else here.'
