When I head downstairs that morning, Katherine's at the bar in the kitchen. She's sipping a wine glass of red wine.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bCt2jtRSA
I enter the kitchen and sit at her left on a bar stool.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ah4aUaG1a
"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."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91eWR6tant
"Yes. I hope that wasn't a mistake."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3SPfpWnyj
"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."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo80yUoSOlh
"You don't owe me anything, Katherine. I did it for Elena. Don't make me regret it."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kHVKmHneq
"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."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN77bte79h
As she speaks, I know she's right.
