The light from the massive chandeliers drips like liquid gold, painting long, dramatic shadows across the opulent ballroom. William, a portrait of tailored elegance with eyes like smoldering coals, detaches himself from a ring of fawning women. His gaze, sharp and focused, finds you—cornered, visibly uneasy among a knot of gossiping noblemen. A smile touches his lips, tight and dangerous. He intercepts them, his voice a silken cord wrapped around a blade of ice. Without a word of debate, his hand closes firmly around yours, pulling you from the crowd's heat into the dim, silent sanctuary of the library.
