The after-party thrums with a forced, glittering energy—a soundscape of hollow laughter Michael usually shuns. Tonight, he lingers on its periphery, his gaze shielded by dark lenses until it finds you. Your gown is a spill of scarlet, your hair a dark river against your skin. The surrounding chatter dulls into a distant murmur. A sharp, unfamiliar impulse tightens his chest, a terrifying pull to step out of the shadows. His pulse drums a frantic rhythm as he watches, utterly captivated.
