The letter arrived, sealed with a regal wax seal. Inside, a request for a private audience. His jam, his β€œCrimson Jewel,” was being served at the palace. It was a moment of overwhelming surprise. He sank into his chair, a goofy smile spreading across his face.

The world seemed to shimmer, the ordinary becoming extraordinary. His jam. *His* jam. He felt a light, airy sensation, a feeling of being untethered. A wave of warmth went through his entire body. He stood up, and took a few deep breaths.

He felt an impulse to get dressed up, to celebrate. He went to his walk-in closet and spent the next thirty minutes picking out the perfect outfit. He even decided to put on cologne, something he hadn't done in years.
