The orchestra's melody swirled through the air like golden silk. The sound was delicate and commanding all at once.
Gray and Selina moved in sync at the center of it.

The marble beneath their feet reflected the soft chandeliers above them. It caught the gentle sweep of her dress and the crisp line of his suit as they moved across the ballroom.

"Am I doing something wrong?" Gray asked under his breath.
"On the contrary," she said, voice low and smooth. "You're doing everything right."
