In another life, I could have been an award-winning actress. It’s incredibly liberating, getting to dress up and play a part. I arrive at the castle dressed in the catering uniform Klaus and Anders managed to snag for me. It fits like a glove. When I pull up to the security booth just in front of the massive iron gates, the guards on duty don’t even bat an eye. They wave me through without hesitation.
So far, so good.
I follow the line of cars to the back entrance, noticing how other serving staff appear to be gathering just outside. I park and step out of the vehicle without much fuss, blending in with the others. Now that I’m in uniform, I’m practically indistinguishable from the others. Even still, my heart races. Success is so close I can almost taste it on my tongue.
Don’t
