Chapter 1: The Ballroom Collision
The annual charity gala was meant to be a night of refinement, but the atmosphere shattered the moment little Leo broke away from the buffet line. He was six, terrified, and screaming, "Mommy! Mommy!"

The guests held their breath, but the boy didn't stop screaming. He reached back for Sarah, his small hands grasping for the officer, not the socialite.
