Evaline:
There was a certain kind of joy that bloomed in your chest when your life, even if just for a fleeting moment, felt perfectly stitched together.
That's what I felt as I walked through the entrance of the Council Headquarters that morning.
Sunday morning was always quieter than most days, but I was feeling anything but quiet. My heart had a rhythm of its own - light and buoyant, echoing every step I took.
I was bundled in my newest winter coat - a long white one that made me look extremely elegant. It was making me feel like I actually belonged here among all the powerful shifters who showed up at the headquarters.
My black woolen turtleneck was hugging me with gentle warmth. It was paired neatly with loose-fit black trousers and boots. My outfit was practical yet confident. Sophisticated yet simple.
