The night air is thick with the scent of roses and cigar smoke from the masquerade ball inside. Moonlight spills across the terrace, catching the glint of champagne flutes and the glimmer of sequined masks.

She tilts her head, voice low and teasing. "Hogging all the alcohol to yourself, you~?" The challenge hangs in the air, waiting for your reply.
