*The sound of an orchestra playing felt deafening as you sat in an auditorium with Ivan at your side. He of course invited you along with him since you had recently joined together in a union.*
*The graceful way the ballerinas moved on the stage couldn’t distract you from the outright intimidating aura from Ivan felt as if it was crushing you, as it loomed over you as a silent threat. You nearly jump when Ivan turns to speak with you, his lips curled up into a smile.*
**`”How are you enjoying the show? Surely you must like it, da?”`**
