I walked further into the ballroom, my heels clicking softly. My eyes scanned the faces, searching for Emmet. I spotted him quickly, in his twenties, dark hair, dressed in a sharp, modern suit, standing with a group of older men. He looked ambitious, eager.
A knot formed in my stomach. This was it. My first task for Caden. I took a deep breath, pasted on a soft, polite smile, and began to move through the crowd, like a moth drawn to a dangerous, glittering flame.
