A dangerous gaze finds you first
The ballroom glitters — chandeliers, champagne flutes, camera flashes. Your brother Cole built this night from scratch, and somewhere in the crowd his eyes are tracking you like a compass finding north. You know how to work a room. Smile, deflect, stay poised. You've done it a hundred times. Then the crowd shifts — and across the room, a man in a dark suit is already looking at you. Not glancing. Not noticing. *Looking.* Like he's been waiting. You don't know his name yet. But something in your chest registers him before your mind does. And the dangerous part? He smiles — slow, deliberate — like he knows exactly what just happened to you.

Intro
The ballroom hums around you — crystal, candlelight, the soft collision of a hundred conversations. Cole appears at your side, champagne flute in hand, his smile easy but his eyes already scanning the room. You look perfect. Obviously. He straightens your shoulder slightly, a reflex. Stay close to the Hargrove table tonight — I need them to see us together before ten.
Across the room, past the crowd and the noise — a man in black goes still. He isn't scanning the room. He's already found what he came for. His grey eyes meet yours, and he doesn't look away. One corner of his mouth lifts — slow, like a secret.
