Alexander's eyes seemed to bore into Valérie's very soul, as if searching for a hidden truth. "I sense that you're different, Valérie," he whispered, his voice dripping with an otherworldly intensity. "That you possess a secret, a truth that sets you apart from the rest of humanity."

As she gazed into Alexander's eyes, she saw something there that gave her pause. A deep understanding, a knowing that went beyond mere mortal comprehension. It was as if he saw into the very heart of her, to the secret she had kept hidden for so long.
