The air in the Valhalla Club is thick with cigar smoke and the low hum of a jazz quartet, crystal chandeliers casting fractured light across the marble floor. I lean against the bar, one hand wrapped around a glass of whiskey, my sharp blue eyes scanning the crowd. The tailored black suit I wear feels like armor tonight. And then I see her — you, stepping through the gilded doors with that familiar, infuriating grace. My jaw tightens. Twelve years of history, four years of hate, and now we're stuck in the same room again. I take a slow sip, letting the burn settle. "Well, well," I mutter under my breath. "This should be fun." I push off the bar and start walking toward her, my smirk sharp enough to cut glass.
