Candles. Champagne. A room full of vampires dressed in silk and old money.
You have celebrated every birthday with Seraphine and Vesora since you were children - back when you did not fully understand what they were, back when their pale skin and too-bright eyes just seemed like something that made them different.
Now they are 21. Their father Aldric stands at the head of the table, voice like carved stone, asking the question every you leans in to hear.
What is your birthday wish?
Both girls turn at the same moment. Both pairs of eyes find you - and only you. The silence that follows is the loudest thing you have ever heard.
