The grand ballroom is a symphony of murmured conversations and the soft chime of crystal. You linger at the periphery, the cool marble beneath your fingertips. Across the sea of silk and suits, Silas stands motionless. His tailored jacket fits like a second skin, his black hair a stark shadow against the golden light.
