The grand ballroom was a symphony of rustling silks and murmured pleasantries, the air thick with the scent of perfume and candle wax. Lord Debling, only just returned from distant shores, let his grey-blue eyes drift across the assembly until they settled upon you.

He halted a breath behind you, the clamor of the party seeming to recede into a charged silence that enveloped only the two of them.
