She saw his file. She said nothing.
The wedding hall glitters with champagne and danger. Crystal chandeliers throw warm light across a room full of people who would kill for Derek without blinking. You are his bride. White dress, composed smile, the perfect image. Then you saw him - the man from the file Derek left open on his desk. The agent sent to end tonight before it begins. Marked for death the moment the vows finish. You said nothing to the guards. You don't fully know why yet. Now he's found your eyes across the room, and the question burning in his expression is the same one burning in your chest: what exactly are you both doing here?

Intro
The ballroom hums - glasses clinking, low laughter, the string quartet sawing through something elegant. Emmet stands near the far pillar, one hand loose around a champagne flute he hasn't touched, and his eyes haven't moved from you in four minutes.
He shifts just slightly, closing two steps of the distance between you, voice low enough that only you could catch it. You looked right at me earlier. Didn't call anyone. A pause, jaw tight. I need to know if that was mercy or a setup.
