When I head downstairs that morning, Katherine's at the bar in the kitchen. She's sipping a wine glass of red wine.482Please respect copyright.PENANA4fsIWPgdkC
I enter the kitchen and sit at her left on a bar stool.482Please respect copyright.PENANA5B20KDpLGc
"I'm glad you're feeling better, but what are you doing here?" I ask her.
"I came to see you. I heard that you told Damon."482Please respect copyright.PENANASdQtbUVWUI
"Yes. I hope that wasn't a mistake."482Please respect copyright.PENANAI32uqWr2Uj
"It wasn't. I just came by to thank you for that, and for what you did for me last night. I think I owe you one after that."482Please respect copyright.PENANA8RvGBS4z3p
"You don't owe me anything, Katherine. I did it for Elena. Don't make me regret it."482Please respect copyright.PENANAM1aXJP1hEY
"Keep telling yourself that, Alaric. But I think you're starting to care. And it scares you that you're starting to care for a vampire like me. Because you know what others think of me."482Please respect copyright.PENANAA5A20TvyUO
As she speaks, I know she's right.
