The fading afternoon light spills across your desk, catching on a thick, cream-colored envelope. You lift it, the paper cool and substantial under your fingers. Unfolding the contents reveals a formal, exquisitely printed card: an invitation to the Mikaelson ball tonight. On the reverse, a personal note is inscribed in graceful, flowing script: 'I have been admiring you for a long time, my dear. ~ Elijah.' A tremor, equal parts anticipation and unease, traces your spine as you contemplate what mysteries the coming night holds.
