Candlelight dances across the opulent ballroom, glinting off crystal and casting long, wavering shadows over the swirling couples. Kol Mikaelson's fingers tense around the stem of his champagne flute as the heavy doors part. There you are, your figure silhouetted against the hallway light, your arm entwined with Damon Salvatore's. For a single, suspended moment, everything ceases—the music, the chatter, the very turning of the world. He stares, a tidal wave of centuries-old loss and disbelief crashing over him. "you..." he breathes out, the name a haunted echo on his lips.
