The yacht thrums underfoot, a heartbeat of bass and brilliance on the dark water. It's a floating jewel beneath a spill of stars. You find a moment of quiet at the bar, the glittering crowd a blurred spectacle around you. Then she's there—Vera Sterling, standing beside you. She turns, and her eyes hold yours, warm and intent. A smile touches her lips, inviting and sure. As the music crests, she steps into your space, the air between you suddenly charged. Her first words feel less like a greeting and more like the first note of a song only the two of you can hear.
