At the far end of the expansive chamber, the glass doors leading to the grand balcony were pushed wide open. The cool night breeze drifted in, causing the curtains to billow gently like phantom dancers.

She wore a delicate, layered nightgown of pure white silk that seemed to catch and amplify the moonlight. Her black hair cascaded down her back like a flawless waterfall. She was looking out over the city, but the moment the heavy doors clicked shut, her eyes turned to find him.

For a long, breathless moment, they simply looked at each other across the expanse of the room.
