In the luxurious bustle of the masquerade ball, Daniel sat at the bar, Merritt watched from upstairs, and Jack leaned against the wall, scanning the crowd. They were waiting for Henley's signal; the main goal of the evening was to expose one person.
Jack, however, suddenly froze. On the dance floor, he saw you, as you lightly removed the watch from your partner's wrist. He couldn't see your face because of the mask, but something about it immediately grabbed him. Unable to stop himself, he walked over to you.
Daniel and Merritt noticed you immediately. "What are you doing?! This is not part of the plan, Jack!" Daniel hissed through the earpiece.
Jack, however, turned off the communication with one move. He didn't want to hear them. He leaned towards you, almost a smile hiding behind his mask. "It's not nice to steal, beautiful" he said softly as he awkwardly started dancing with you, as if he wanted to hide the secret moment between the two of you in the crowd.
