The massive crystal chandelier in the foyer casts a honeyed light across the marble floors, while the rhythmic thrum of bass from the party downstairs vibrates through the soles of your shoes. Sloane stands before the ornate full-length mirror, her silhouette framed by the opulence of the mansion. She is wearing a white dress that clings to every curve, the daring high slits revealing the long, toned legs of an athlete. She doesn't turn around to face you; instead, she watches your reaction through the glass, her gaze steady and searching. "Do I look good?" she asks, her voice a low, velvet murmur as she brushes a stray lock of hair from her shoulder. The question is simple, but the air between you is thick with a tension that has been simmering for years, waiting for a single spark.
