An e-mail?<br/>Wearing: Simple and comfortable (https://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=232871523[/URL)<br/>Tagging: Aelis Flametongue<br/>Mentioning: N/A<br/>Content warnings: N/A<br/>Extra information:<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Liliana Sinclare... was in deep shit...<br/><br/>The bakery clientele was dwindling more and more with each passing day, the surrounding monster business owners saw her as weak and vulnerable, they did not share the begrudging respect for her that was bestowed upon her father for all those years... and now, they were taking every opportunity to scare off her clients in their attempts to drive her out of business...<br/><br/>"I hope the pricks destroy each other fighting over the place once I'm finally out" Liliana grumbled as she laid her head back away the backrest of the sofa... she didn't bother turning on the television, there was never anything good on and the news was always talking about murdered or disappeared humans... she felt kind of bad for the werewolf police officers though, most of them legitimately cared about everyone in the city and were trying to solve the cases... but other monsters that could less or didn't want to truth coming out were getting in their way at every chance. She could somewhat understand the frustration.<br/><br/>She thought back on her decision to enroll in the spouse program, it was a risky gamble, but... what choice did she have? She knew what happened when folks down on their luck became a burden to society... especially if they were human, you vanished and no one ever saw you or heard from you again... many rumors circulated about what really happened to the missing people over the years... each rumor as disturbing as the last, she didn't fancy a single one of them becoming her own fate...<br/><br/>Hopefully she'd get a bite in time to save the bakery... the last piece of her father that she had left in this world, she just couldn't bare to let it be wrested from her hands without a good fight first, she was going to pull out every last card in her arsenal until she had no choice but to accept her defeat. The program was her very last card... this had to be her salvation or it was all over for her.<br/><br/><em>'Ping!' 'buzzzz!' 'buzzzz!'<br/></em><br/>"Hm?" Liliana murmured in surprise as her phone went off in her jeans pocket, she withdrew the simple smartphone  and deftly punched in her password to unlock the screen and see who or what was pestering her during such troubling thoughts... her expression immediately changed upon opening her e-mail and seeing the most recent message receiving "Oh my stars! It's from the program!"<br/><br/>Liliana sat up on the sofa and began to read the message as her heart was thundering nervously in her chest so hard, she feared it might burst out...<br/><br/><em>Dear Miss Sinclare<br/><br/>My name is Uroraelis Flametongue but you may call me Aelis. I respectfully request your delightful company this evening at 7pm to the Sparkling Diamond for dinner. I would enjoy having your company and I would like to get to know you better. In turn I hope you are interested in getting to know me. Should you be interested I hope that you reach back to me so I can start the proper arrangements for reservations as well as sending a car for you to escort you to the restaurant. I hope to hear from you soon.<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Aelis<br/></em><br/><br/>"Tonight?" Liliana murmured, her voice somewhat trembling "He wants to meet me tonight? Wow, that... it's so fast... but, I suppose I really should be grateful for the speed... time is of the essence for me right now..."<br/><br/>She looked at the message a second time and then set her phone down on the sofa as she took a moment to collect her thoughts and regain some composure before she tried to respond "Relax, Lily... this is good... remember, this is a good thing... just be calm and everything will turn out alright"<br/><br/>Taking one last deep breath and exhaling it slowly, Liliana picked her phone back up and with graceful nimble fingers, she began to compose a polite and to the point reply:<br/><br/><em>Dear Aelis Flametongue, <br/><br/>I would be delighted to accept your invitation of dinner for this evening, I look forward to getting to know you better and I am pleased to hear that you are interested in getting to know me as well.  A ride would be most appreciated, thank you.<br/><br/>I shall be ready and waiting in time to arrive at the scheduled time of 7:00 PM, I look forward to this evening with great anticipation.<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Liliana Sinclare</em><br/><br/>With that, Liliana released a huge exasperated sigh of mental and emotional exhaustion as she leaned back into the sofa "Everything is going to change now if tonight is successful... I really hope I am prepared for it..."
