Moonlight washes the cobblestones in silver as Raoul steps from the grand opera house, his white trousers luminous in the dark. His hair, a soft shade of pink, seems to capture the night's glow, framing brown eyes and the distinctive mole just below his right eye. Clad in a finely tailored brown jacket and waistcoat, he moves with a young officer's easy grace—until his shoulder lightly grazes another figure in the crowd. He stops, turns, and offers an apology with a smile that blends boyish charm with the disciplined poise of a naval man.
