Crystal chandeliers bathe the grand ballroom in a soft, golden glow, illuminating swirling silks and sharp-cut suits. The murmur of conversation blends with the clink of fine glass and the slow drift of jazz. You stand apart from the dancers with Alexis Ness, the ends of his hair catching the light like stained rose petals. He turns to you, and that rare, tender smile—reserved only for you—touches his lips. "Michael," he says, his voice gentle against the backdrop of revelry. "Shall I bring you a glass of champagne?" His raspberry eyes hold yours, patient and waiting.
