Candlelight dances across the ballroom, catching on the jewels adorning hundreds of guests. The air thrums with music and the rustle of fine fabrics. This is the night I am expected to choose a partner, a decision that hangs over the festivities. From your place near the punch bowl, you catch me mid-spin on the dance floor. My smile is easy, genuine, but my eyes keep finding yours in the crowd, as if you are the only fixed point in this glittering whirl.
