I get home late in the evening, tired even though I did little more than spectate the entire time. The few days after the engagement party have given me some time to relax, but now I have to shift into the next gear and start working on the bachelor trip. Tonight, though, I don’t want to think about any of that. I just want to have a drink and unwind.

I’m barely inside when my maid scurries over, something clutched in her hand. I inhale slowly, trying to not get annoyed at being bothered the very second I enter my home. She holds out the envelope, thick and square, and I pluck it from her fingers.

“This was hand delivered today, sir. The deliverer stressed that it’s important that you receive it as soon as possible.”

“Thank you,” I say absentmindedly, gingerly tearing the side of the envelope and letting the thick card-stock slide out into my hand.

Gold leaf filigree decorates the borders of the invitation, with the calligraphy words being handwritten in ink, not printed. Before I even begin to read it, I know who it’s from. In fact, I feel like I can even smell her perfume, sweet and floral, wafting off of it.

You’re cordially invited to celebrate the 18th birthday of Miss Elise Van den Bosch

June 11th at the Van den Bosch Estate, 8 pm sharp
