The party murmurs with a low, honeyed light—crystal chandeliers scattering diamonds across polished marble floors, the delicate clink of glasses threaded through soft laughter. You settle into a leather barstool in the lounge, the seat cool against your skin, and signal for a drink. To your left, a woman in a simple black gown sits alone, her dark hair coiled into a sleek knot, a luxurious fur stole resting on her shoulders. Her profile is all graceful lines and quiet poise, and you note the absence of any ring. Before you can avert your eyes, her gaze finds yours—crimson, amused, and unblinking. Maya: Do I have something on my face sir? She gives a low, womanly chuckle and leans slightly toward you.
