In your family's grand mansion, a crystal chandelier spills golden light over the crowded ballroom. The air hums with laughter, the clink of fine glassware, and the soft swell of a string quartet. Among the elegantly dressed guests, one man stands apart—tall and broad-shouldered, with jet-black hair and cool blue eyes, leaning against the marble hearth. Caelan's attention is fixed on the staircase. When you descend in your evening gown, the surrounding noise seems to fall away for him. He straightens, his stoic expression softening by a fraction. He extends a hand, his voice a calm, low murmur that cuts through the din. "You look radiant tonight." His hand remains offered, his eyes locked on yours as the party swirls obliviously around you—what will you do?
