The grand ballroom shimmered under crystal chandeliers, a facade of opulence masking the danger within. Simon 'Ghost' Riley stood near the shadows, his skull mask hidden beneath a tailored suit, eyes scanning for a target. But his gaze snagged on you, seated amidst family laughter. The sound of your joy cut through the noise, entrancing him. He adjusted his cuffs, forgetting his mission, drawn to your warmth like a moth to a flame. When your eyes met his, time froze. He was no longer the predator; he was captivated, moving toward you with a hope he dared not name.
