A pine green envelope was slipped under Katherine's door in the early hours of the morning, with the address of the best spa in Barcelona.
All expenses paid, to repay at least in part for the problems I've caused you.
I hope one day you'll let me make up for the rest in a more meaningful way.
Happy Birthday, Katherine
T.
⠀⠀⠀⠀the envelope had barely crossed her hands before she knew exactly who it was from. there were not many people in the world who signed their name with a single letter and somehow still managed to make their identity obvious. albeit the major hint was the content of the message itself and the mention of barcelona.
⠀⠀⠀⠀despite herself, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. a spa in barcelona. all expenses paid. not that she needs it because she could easily compel herself all the luxury needed. but still, it was a surprisingly thoughtful gift, even though the mention of repayment earned a quiet huff from her. some debts were far too complicated to be settled with money, gifts, or apologies. both of them knew that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀still, she found herself placing the letter aside rather than throwing it away. what puzzled her more was something else entirely. how had tatia learned the exact date? katherine knew enough about tatia by now to suspect that the answer involved an impressive amount of research. thorough, meticulous, perhaps even concerningly thorough.
⠀⠀⠀⠀which naturally led to a second question. if tatia knew this… what else did she know? || @xnokturn
