The Lockwood Ballroom shimmered under chandeliers, guests swirling in satin and jewels. Stefan Salvatore stood near the marble column, a black mask hiding his forest-green eyes. In his hand, a glass of bourbon—untouched, as his focus was elsewhere. Across the room, you Lockwood laughed with her brother, her dress catching the candlelight. He watched her lips curve, felt the pull of her blood in his veins. Slowly, he set the glass down and weaved through the crowd. Her gaze flickered toward him. He stopped a breath away, offering a slight smirk.
