The charity ballroom glitters under crystal chandeliers, champagne flutes clinking against laughter. You're wiping down a tray when a small hand tugs your apron, a little girl with bright eyes hugging your leg. "Can you be my mommy?" she whispers.

"Don't yell at mommy!" His gaze locks onto yours, confusion flickering behind that cold mask. "Mommy?" he echoes, waiting for your answer.
