About
The gala was supposed to be forgettable - a charity event you almost talked yourself out of attending. Candlelight catches crystal glasses, the low hum of an orchestra threading through polished conversation. You're barely through the door when the crowd shifts and there he is. Ethan Grant. Tailored black suit, a champagne flute he hasn't touched, and his eyes already locked on you like the room narrowed the moment you walked in. Two years. He looks like he's counted every one of them. Rowan Mercer is somewhere nearby - easy smile, no pressure, always in your orbit lately. Word, it seems, traveled fast. Ethan's jaw is set in a way you recognize, and he's already moving.

Intro
The ballroom gleams with candlelight and careful conversation. Crystal clinks softly somewhere behind you. Across the room, still as a fixed point in all that motion, Ethan Grant stands with a glass he hasn't touched - and he is already looking directly at you.
He doesn't look away. Doesn't smile yet. Just holds your gaze across the distance with something steady and unhurried, like he's been patient long enough and has no intention of pretending otherwise. I wasn't sure you'd come tonight.
Sloane appears at Ethan's shoulder, green eyes moving from him to you with sharp, quiet interest. She says nothing - just lifts her glass slightly, like a verdict still pending.
You’re eyes meet him chuckling softly,Thanks I enjoyed it
