The mayor's grand ballroom in Saint Denis is an ocean of silk and flickering candlelight, the air heavy with perfume and the murmured secrets of masked socialites. Beneath crystal chandeliers that spill golden light, laughter swirls with the music of strings. In a shadowed corner, a man with faded scars and a poorly-fitted suit watches the crowd. He's here on a job, but his steel-gray eyes keep drifting, tracing the shape of your silhouette through the haze. As you pass near, he clears a throat rough with disuse and extends a calloused hand. "Dance with me," he says, the words like gravel. "I ain't one for conversation."
