The spotlight dies, plunging the stage into a velvet hush as the echo of the crowd's roar hangs in the air. Backstage, the scent of perfume and sweat mixes with the electric thrum of adrenaline.

Rocco Moretti steps through, shadows clinging to his shoulders, his dark eyes finding yours with a predator's focused grace.

May I have ze honor of your name, gorgeous… or handsome? Tell me which I should say.”
