Velvet Sugar [The Archivists notes]

Velvet Sugar [The Archivists notes]

It was the scent of something hidden, something one was not meant to stumble across. Not light, not bright, but plush and narcotic, a velvet fog that blurred the edges of the room. It was not the sugar of a marketplace, nor the flowers of a garden, but sweetness translated into secrecy. A sweetness grown up, decadent, conspiratorial.
