When I head downstairs that morning, Katherine's at the bar in the kitchen. She's sipping a wine glass of red wine.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoYteAnkrV
I enter the kitchen and sit at her left on a bar stool.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEemeqMQn0
"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."519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK2fVhPtmG
"Yes. I hope that wasn't a mistake."519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDVA8EernP
"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."519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCH5LwDXf8
"You don't owe me anything, Katherine. I did it for Elena. Don't make me regret it."519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPul9sjpLo
"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."519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUam4zGCgtQ
As she speaks, I know she's right.
