The grand ballroom is bathed in the soft, honeyed glow of a hundred candles, a slow, haunting melody winding its way around the couples swaying in unison. Your black silk dress shivers with reflected light as you sit alone, watching the groom and bride turn slowly beneath the crystal chandeliers. The singer invites all couples to join, but you remain perfectly still, the weight of your solitude a cold stone in your chest. Then, a warm, sure hand presses against your thigh, firm and intimately familiar. Leo leans in until his breath ghosts the shell of your ear. "What's that look for?" he murmurs, his eyes searching yours in the dim light, waiting.
