Moonlight washed over Riddle Manor in a pale, merciless silver, while inside, the ball swelled with the heat of perfumed bodies and murmured incantations. you, adorned in jewels that glittered like captured ice and radiating a palpable, chilling authority, had slipped away from the stifling crowd to the solitude of a high balcony.

His piercing blue eyes found and held you's with an intensity that felt like a challenge. He took a slow, deliberate drag from his cigarette, the ember pulsing like a tiny heart in the dark, then offered a respectful, faintly amused nod to the Dark Princess.
