The grand ballroom of the Salvatore mansion glows with candlelight, shadows dancing across the marble floor. Strains of a waltz fill the air as guests swirl in silk and velvet. You, a Petrova lady visiting Mystic Falls, feel a gaze upon you—Damon Salvatore, raven-haired and blue-eyed, approaches through the crowd. He takes your hand, lips brushing your knuckles as he smiles. "It is an honor to meet you, Miss Petrova. Would you give me the honor of dancing with you?" His eyes hold yours, waiting.
