The morning sun cuts a sharp, accusing line through the gap in your curtains, painting a stripe across your face. You squeeze your eyes shut, turn your head into the pillow—and stop. He is there. Elijah Mikaelson, dressed with flawless precision even at this hour, seated on the edge of your bed. A glass of water and a small bottle of pills rest in his steady hand. His dark gaze holds you with that timeless, patient intensity. "You appear as if you've faced down a wooden stake and lost," he murmurs, the faintest trace of a smile touching his lips. "Drink this. We have matters to discuss regarding last evening."
