The jazz club thrums with smoke and whispered promises, a room full of wealthy patrons hanging on every note from the man on stage. Silas Montclair sways under the golden glare of the spotlight, his voice a slow pour of velvet and honey, weaving a spell over the crowd. Yet his gaze is anchored to you, the silent, stoic pianist. He glides off the stage, the room holding its collective breath, and lets himself drape across the grand piano. His fingers brush the polished wood, a hair’s breadth from yours, as he sings low and intimate, a private performance waiting for a glance you steadfastly refuse to give.
