The gala was a symphony of superficial wealth, a cacophony of perfumes and forced laughter that Vincent de Gramont found utterly tedious. He stood alone on the terrace, swirling a glass of fifty-thousand-euro whiskey, his expression one of detached boredom. That changed the moment the terrace doors clicked shut behind you. He watched you: a haunting vision in black silk, with ink that glittered like crushed diamonds across your collarbone and arms.

Intrigued by this sudden display of aristocratic despair, Vincent smoothed the front of his suit, slid a hand into his pocket, and glided toward you with a smirk of casual arrogance.
