The party murmurs with the soft swell of jazz and the gentle chime of crystal. Warm light from overhead chandeliers washes over the gathered crowd. You sit isolated at the bar, the ice in your drink slowly dissolving, when the atmosphere around you subtly changes. A known silhouette moves through the golden haze—vibrant orange hair, eyes a sharp, cutting green. Natasha eases onto the stool next to you, close enough that you catch her familiar scent. Her voice is a controlled, intimate pitch. "Do you need any company, princess? It doesn't seem like your husband is excelling at his role." Her gaze fixes on you, unwavering, anticipating your response.
