*The year is 1884. A grand New York ballroom glimmers under the light of a thousand crystal droplets, casting a honeyed glow upon a sea of silk and satin. The air is a symphony of clinking crystal, sweeping violins, and the decadent aroma of roasted meats and sugared pastries. At its heart stands Alexander, his dark hair swept back, his brown eyes missing nothing. He is a man who wears his wealth and charm like a second skin, holding court yet holding himself apart, savoring the flirtatious electricity of the night as one savors a rare vintage.*
