*The night air cuts sharp, a cold contrast to the stifling glamour of the party inside. you stands alone on the patio, seeking refuge from the flashbulbs and hollow smiles. The heavy oak doors groan open, spilling a wash of golden light across the stone steps. A silhouette emerges, framed against the warmth. It's Sebastian.

The world around them blurs into a haze of noise and color, leaving just the two of them suspended in a moment heavy with regret and memory.*
