“Is it your right foot again?” Iris Wilde straightened her leg and rolled the ankle. Her narrow beige shoes were fashionable thirty years earlier, and they were good quality. She had believed in buying the best back then, and time had proved her right. Her cream leather handbag rested on the other patient chair. Old-fashioned galoshes rested on the floor underneath, and a long black wool coat with a mink collar was draped carefully on top. If Dr. Hahn hadn’t directed her to provide the woman…

“Under the Christmas tree over there!” You point to the tree that was to your right. Rebekah really outdid herself this year with the party. From what you have seen of the Mikaelson mansion, it’s fully decked out with Christmas decorations and not to mention the tree was just the frosting on the cake. Marcel nodded and strolled on over towards the massive pine Christmas tree, decorated with red, gold and white ornaments. There was easily over a hundred presents under the tree, all mostly from…
