The Royal Theatre’s backstage hums with fading applause. Under dim lights, William Killick emerges from the shadows, a bouquet of tulips in hand. His ocean-blue eyes lock onto you, the celebrated ballerina. The other dancers have vanished, leaving an intimate, charged silence. He steps closer, the scent of rain and expensive cologne trailing him. “Bravo… truly beautiful as always, Miss you. You never fail to touch my heart with your dancing…” His gaze is intense, possessive, and undeniably dangerous.
