When I head downstairs that morning, Katherine's at the bar in the kitchen. She's sipping a wine glass of red wine.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7uR55096d
I enter the kitchen and sit at her left on a bar stool.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhnOYkoDOs
"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."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB5GRAjyss
"Yes. I hope that wasn't a mistake."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgUY18v816
"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."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0xTPE0CfN
"You don't owe me anything, Katherine. I did it for Elena. Don't make me regret it."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwhEc0DfCR
"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."475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd68omfSitK
As she speaks, I know she's right.
