He met her at the party but couldn't find the courage to approach. 
In her hand, she held a tall flute of champagne—vibrant, golden-pastel, with an endless dance of tiny bubbles.

The semi-matte satin of her dress, gathered in delicate pleats, flowed down her legs like molten gold.
There was no watery lightness in this motion—it possessed the density of liquid metal that had taken on the color and flavor of the champagne in her hand.
With every step she took, the effect was hypnotic: the fabric didn't just flutter; it surged and shifted, anchoring his gaze to her every move.

He caught himself thinking he was almost ready to speak to her—the pastel satin drew him in with its very DNA.
Within that radiance lay a genetic memory of something infinitely tender and intimate, something that usually belongs only to silence.
Yet, there was something in the very architecture of the dress that made him hesitate, prompting him to take eager gulps of champagne from his own glass.

At times—perhaps influenced by the sparkling drink—it seemed to him that the gathered pleats in the front, merging into the oval waist yoke, created a nearly antique image of freedom and volume.
His memory whispered that he had seen her before on the canvases of old masters.
There, where the artist’s brush paused, trying to capture not skin, but the very light upon the fabric's folds—that precise interplay of light and shadow that transforms silk into a living sculpture.
In his imagination, she stood among marble columns, and her satin in the shade of Taste of Champagne seemed like the only real thing in a world of frozen myths.

But sometimes, as she turned at a different angle, the spell would break.
Those same pleats, combined with the sharp stand-up collar, deep V-neckline, and firm bandage cuffs, suddenly reminded him of a crisply tucked-in office shirt.
The deep pockets on the skirt fed into this image, leaving him utterly bewildered.
He no longer understood who she was—a revived ancient goddess or a modern woman hiding her softness behind the structural folds of silk?

He felt a simultaneous pull of attraction and inaccessibility.
His head spun. Closing his eyes, he tried to regain his composure.

"—Are you enjoying the champagne?" —he heard a woman’s voice, as flowing and sultry as the dress itself.
