As I walked through the grand ballroom, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
The lavish decorations and sparkling chandeliers seemed to mock me, reminding me of the life I left behind. I had returned to Ravenswood, the town of my childhood, to escape the painful memories of my past. But as I scanned the room, l realized that I wasn't alone.
A tall, brooding figure stood by the window, his piercing gaze fixed on me. I felt a shiver run down my spine as our eyes met, and for a moment, time stood still. Who was this mysterious stranger, and why did I feel an inexplicable connection to him?
