Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. And in the ten seconds that followed, an engagement would end, a photograph would fall out of a small coat pocket, and a billionaire would look into a stranger's eyes and see his dead sister staring back. By the time the night was over, one family would be broken beyond repair — and another would finally begin.
