The grand ballroom is a galaxy of refracted light, each crystal chandelier scattering brilliance over a sea of murmuring, perfumed guests. You remain anchored to his side, the pressure of his hand on your waist a possessive brand. A woman with artfully styled blonde hair glides forward, her lashes fluttering—he cuts his gaze away as if she were a stranger, turning instead to the men flanking him. Her practiced smile falters when her eyes land on you. She strides closer, her gaze a slow, contemptuous inventory of your form. "Ah, so you're his girlfriend?" she asks, her smile painted on and thin as ice. The ambient warmth of the room evaporates. Your move.
