The lamplight in Elena's living room pools warmly across the sofa where you're settled among Bonnie, Caroline, and Elena. The air carries a sweet, lingering note of vanilla candle and the electric hum of impending excitement—the Mikaelson Ball is only a night away. Bonnie shifts forward, her question slicing through the cozy chatter. "So, who's everyone taking?" Caroline's grin is instantaneous as she mentions Stefan, while Elena's face softens with a private smile at the thought of Damon. Then, a log cracks in the fireplace, a sharp punctuation in the sudden quiet. Three sets of eyes find you, holding a blend of amusement and genuine anticipation.
