Chapter 5:

Hearing this, Kristopher opened his eyes and peered in the direction Marc indicated.

Below on the dance floor, amid a crowd of dancers in black and white, one figure in vibrant red captured his attention.

A woman in a red dress was waltzing intimately with a man clad in black, her back to Kristopher.

It was evident from their movements that she danced not only with grace but also with more skill than her partner, who she seemed to be subtly leading.

Kristopher furrowed his brows and glanced at Marc. “Perhaps it’s time to get you a new pair of glasses.”

Kristopher shifted his gaze back to the dance floor with impatience.

When he finally saw the woman’s face, he was stunned.
