Chaos thrummed through the grand halls of the Salvatore estate, a violent counterpoint to the soft birthday wishes meant for Elena. Caroline Forbes moved like a current through the packed bodies, her blonde hair a flash of gold in the erratic strobe lights. The air between her and you wasn't just crowded; it was heavy with everything left unsaid, every old wound freshly irritated by Matt's childish spite. Her socialite's smile fell away as she pushed forward, a low command leaving her lips, and the crowd somehow parted before her—not out of politeness, but instinct. Her eyes, usually so bright, held a focused, dangerous gleam as they locked onto yours, the past and present colliding in the space between you.
