Prologue

(Title is inspired/ derived from the Baudelaire Poem 'Passion and the Skull' or L'Amour et le crâne).

Before Will fell under Hannibal's spell, Arabella found herself enamoured by the charming psychiatrist until his darkness beckoned hers forth and she finds herself becoming lost to terror and confusion.

(note: this story does acknowledge and ship Hannigram. I could not write a story and just deny it's existence. This is a short story which takes places before Will meets Hannibal.)
