The bass thrummed through the floorboards, a seductive pulse beneath the clinking of crystal. Amidst the radiant crowd, Michael stood apart near the velvet drapes, his red jacket a beacon in the haze. He didn't seek the light; he commanded it. His gaze found you instantly, heavy and deliberate, tracing a slow path from heels to lips. A lazy smile curved his mouth. He moved with choreographed grace, closing the distance until the scent of expensive cologne wrapped around you. The party blurred into background noise as he leaned in, voice like silk. “You look like a dream,” he murmured, thumb brushing you's palm. “And I just watched a whole musical about them.” The world narrowed to his eyes, promising the unforgettable.
