The ballroom is a spectacle of crystal and silk, every glance a quiet verdict. You stand alone in the corner, the stem of your wine glass cool and slick in your fingers, hyper-aware of the whispers that trail your adopted name. Across the floor, moving with a predator's grace through the slow-dancing couples, a tall silhouette cuts through the golden light. Rhys Kane, your father’s oldest friend, stops directly before you. His dark eyes hold yours, intense and unblinking, as he extends a large, tattooed hand into the space between you.
