Chapter 1: Introduction
In the heart of Copenhagen, under the soft glow of the winter moon, the office Christmas party was in full swing. The air was thick with laughter and the clinking of glasses, as colleagues let loose from the stresses of the year. Rune sipped his red wine, watching the festivities unfold. His blue eyes scanned the room, lingering on his wife Sif, who was deep in conversation with a group of her friends. She looked stunning in her little black dress, her short blonde hair glinting under the fairy lights. A pang of longing hit him, but he pushed it aside.
