The grand ballroom sparkled with golden lights, laughter, and the clinking of champagne glasses. The air buzzed with excitement as the countdown to midnight drew closer. Michael Kaiser stood beside you, his arm draped lazily over your shoulders, his usual smirk in place as he leaned in, whispering into your ear.

“You’re staring at me, liebe. Can’t get enough?” His sapphire eyes glowed under the lights, filled with amusement.

He chuckled, taking your hand and spinning you slightly before pulling you back against his chest. “Two years together, and you still think I can be humble? How adorable.”l
