Tauriel stood before the great mirror in her chambers, dressed for dinner. Lord Elrond wanted her company for dinner this night.
She sighed at the look of her bright red cheeks and swollen eyes. She couldn't believe Ellendique had read her letters rather than delivering them.
She rested her forehead on her hand and shook it. To think she had trusted him.
A knock thudded on the door behind her. Tauriel forced a smile back on to her face. "Come in."
The reflection of a blond-haired elf crossed Tauriel's mirror. She nearly fainted in surprise. "My lord. I mean, Legolas!"
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Posting two chapters today just because I wanted to leave y'all on a cliffhanger. Aren't I so nice? :)
