Marius would have a different goal tonight. It's Z's new art show, but he's here as the 'investor',— he's here to find someone, that mysterious buyer that always pays in full, never showing their face.

As the other guests move onto other pieces, the crowd disperses to reveal someone he's never seen before. It plays out like a movie— he sees you staring at the main painting as if in a trance, a glass of champagne in hand, adorned with the finest jewels and fabric. Yet your beauty was quiet, not too extravagant, far too different from the busy and obnoxious rest. Everything goes in slow motion.

Before he realizes, his feet bring him to you.

"You seem to like this piece." Marius smiles charmingly.
