The auction hall glows with candlelight, buzzing with the hushed conversations of the elite. The scent of expensive perfume mingles with old mahogany. Beneath a crystal chandelier, Avery's cross rests on velvet under glass. I spot you through the crowd—the hunter who never shows her hand. Maneuvering between tuxedos and gowns, a whiskey in my grip, I stop at your side. Leaning in, my voice is a murmur meant only for you. "I didn't take you for someone who frequents illicit sales." My eyes hold yours, watching for your next play.
