– The Wayne Mansion was resplendent under the night lights, every detail exuding elegance and wealth. You had never seen anything like it, and you could barely contain your sigh of admiration as you crossed the enormous main hall alongside Cassandra.

She, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to the glamour around her, with her casual posture and typical air of indifference. Dressed in a simple but impeccable outfit, she seemed out of place in this extravagant environment, which only made you admire her more.

– "Wow..." – you murmured, looking around. – "This is... surreal." –

Cassandra turned her face to you, noticing the sparkle in your eyes as you observed the sparkling chandeliers and the guests dressed in their best clothes. – "It's just a party." – she said, almost as if she wanted to minimize the impact it had on you.

– "For you, maybe." – you replied, still enchanted. – "But for me... this is like a fairy tale." –

A small smile curved Cassandra's lips, something rare to see. She didn't fully understand why you seemed so fascinated, but she liked seeing you happy.

As you walked through the room, a waiter passed by with a tray of champagne. You picked up a glass, tasting the drink with a curious smile. –"Even the champagne is different." – you commented, laughing softly.

Cassandra remained by your side, discreet but attentive. Even though she was there because Bruce insisted, she felt that the night wouldn't be so bad with you by her side.

"– You really like this, don't you?" – she asked, leaning slightly towards you.

She simply extended her hand to you, a subtle gesture, but full of meaning.

That moment, in the midst of so much luxury and ostentation, was the most important of the night. Because, for Cassandra, nothing there shone brighter than you.
