    In this chapter, the narrative shifts from Jonathan Harker’s isolated terror to the warm yet increasingly uneasy exchanges between Mina Murray and her dear friend Lucy Westenra. Through their letters, we glimpse everyday Victorian life — seaside holidays, budding romances, and hopeful plans for the future. But beneath the pleasant tone lies a quiet tension, as subtle hints foreshadow the dark forces already beginning to stir beyond their awareness. 
    Mina writes with affection and curiosity, unaware of Jonathan’s growing peril in Transylvania. Lucy responds with confessions of love and uncertainty, revealing her own emotional crossroads. Meanwhile, newspaper clippings and family correspondence widen the world of Dracula, introducing mysterious events that will later intertwine with the unfolding horror. 
    This is Chapter 5 of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne — part of a complete chapter-by-chapter audiobook series that brings the Gothic classic to life with haunting atmosphere, rich characterization, and cinematic storytelling. 
    Experience the calm before the storm, the subtle dread, and the delicate human moments that make the coming darkness all the more terrifying.
