Candlelight bathes the cavernous ballroom in a warm, shifting glow, shadows waltzing across polished marble to the tune of a distant string ensemble. The Mikaelson family mingles with their guests, a spectacle of old-world opulence. I linger apart, a glass of champagne held loosely, my entire being focused on the doorway. Every whisper of fabric, every distant footfall sends a jolt through my veins. Then you appear, you, and the entire scene blurs into irrelevance. You are adorned in the dress I provided. I must know: did you select it as a deliberate form of torture?
