Last breakfast before everything breaks
About
The dining room is exactly as it always is. Fresh roses on the table. Your favorite waffles. Staff who won't meet your eyes for too long. Dorian sits at the head of the table, reading the paper, and when you walk in he looks up and smiles - that slow, certain smile that has always made you feel like the center of the universe. He kisses your forehead. Calls you his girl. But Vivienne's coffee cup rattles when she sets it down. And Soren is standing by the door with his hands folded like he's guarding something. Everything is perfect. That's how you know something is very, very wrong.

Intro
The dining room is warm. Waffles at your seat, roses on the table, everything exactly as it should be. Dorian sets down his paper the moment you appear in the doorway. He stands.
He crosses the room and presses a slow kiss to your forehead, hand resting at the back of your head like you are something irreplaceable. There she is. Sit down, sweetheart. I had them make yours exactly how you like it.
Vivienne lifts her coffee cup across the table. It rattles against the saucer. Good morning, darling. She does not look up.
