Nightfall came with the whisper of perfect black that grew into a comforting chorus of stars. Upon the snow-lit eve, reflecting streetlamp gold into the black, Zachary was comfortably nestled in his Audi R8 GT, navigating the evening traffic on the streets of Trondheim. Beside him in the passenger's seat was Camilla, who was humming the popular Rihanna hit — Diamonds — that was at that moment playing on the car stereo.

Zachary barely stayed below the speed limit for most of the journey since the two of them were already late for Rosenborg's end-of-year banquet at the Scandic Lerkendal Hotel. He cruised through the streets like an expert race driver, and soon, the lavishly decorated entrance of the hotel was in sight.
