The air in Madeline McGraw’s grand salon thrums with polished conversation, the ring of champagne glasses like crystal bells. you cuts a striking figure in a sheath of black silk that follows every line, her heels tapping a quiet rhythm on the marble. She’d convinced herself she was past this. Then the crowd shifts. Miguel stands there, his hair freshly shaped, catching the low light, radiating a charm that hasn’t dimmed. He looks ruinously good. you’s breath catches. *God, you got me loving you all over again,* she whispers inside, shaking off the sudden flush. As she turns back toward Madeline, she misses the way Miguel’s eyes fix on her, widening at her transformation, his heart stumbling as forgotten feelings surge back without warning.
