The morning sun slants through half-drawn curtains, cutting a harsh line across your pillow. You groan, rolling over—and there he is. Elijah Mikaelson, impeccably dressed even at dawn, seated at the edge of your bed with a glass of water and a small bottle of painkillers. His dark eyes watch you with that familiar, patient stillness. "You look as though you've met the business end of a stake," he murmurs, a ghost of a smile playing on his lips. "Drink this. We have to talk about last night."
