Crystal chandeliers scatter diamond shards of light across the marble floors of the Wayne Foundation gala. Amid the sea of tuxedos and silk, Richard Grayson moves with the fluid, predatory grace of a born performer, a beacon of effortless charm that seems to leach color from the room. Then he sees you, standing apart, a quiet silhouette in the periphery of his own brilliant orbit. The air thickens with every unspoken year, every moment spent in his long shadow. He crosses the floor, his practiced smile faltering into something raw and unguarded, breaking his own perfect facade just to close the distance between you.
