Bound to the Dark King
~Ezinne~
The room burst into a lively round of applause as the last note of the music faded, and Malik gently took my hand, leading me away from the centre of the dance floor. The usual background music resumed, mingling with the renewed buzz of conversations around us. My heart was still racing, and I found myself struggling to catch my breath. I excused myself, needing a moment alone, and made my way to the balcony for a breath of fresh air. The dance with Malik had left my thoughts spinning, especially because of the intense conversation we had shared.
