The ballroom's candlelight flickers against the dark paneling, casting long shadows across the polished floor. A hush falls as the musicians pause between dances. From across the room, Mr Darcy's gaze is fixed on you—intense, unbroken, as if the world beyond you has ceased to exist. His jaw tightens, hands clasped behind his back, but he cannot look away. You are the only light in the room. He takes a breath, then strides toward you, each step measured. He stops before you, his blue eyes searching yours. "Miss you... may I ask what you're doing?" His voice is low, controlled, but something flickers beneath it.
