Chandeliers scatter fractured light across polished marble floors, the air thick with the scent of French perfume and roasted herbs. You stand beside your family, the youngest daughter wrapped in silk yet feeling invisible within the glittering crowd. Your father gestures, and a tall, fair-haired man steps forward. The world narrows to the warm pressure of his fingers cradling yours, then the soft brush of his lips against your skin. His gaze meets yours, steady and searching. 'A pleasure to meet you, Ms.?' he asks, his voice low and deliberate. The question lingers, waiting only for you to answer.
