Rhen's POV
I first saw Anna at a parish ballroom in London. It was December 2017. Tons of gifts and tins of socks hanged over the streetlights as the holiday season of celebration took the glow over. And Anna was in one of the winter shows held every year.
While others chatted and flirted, Anna glued herself to her seat and drank to the dance tunes. She was a partial host with her father's company, and her grace was talked all over. I wouldn't have attended if it were not for Theo begging me to bring Anna into the company. To test the firecracker myself, I flew to London right after my board meeting and slowly saw what Theo saw.
I, from a distance away, watched Anna move. I could not see her hands and the intent expression on her face. Trying not to stare, I managed to walk past her with limited success. More than Anna drank that day, I drank her beauty like water and tasted how she dissolved herself in me like a sugar cube.
