When I head downstairs that morning, Katherine's at the bar in the kitchen. She's sipping a wine glass of red wine.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJGowtyc2I
I enter the kitchen and sit at her left on a bar stool.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4itVcHpJL
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ScbbZQcax
"Yes. I hope that wasn't a mistake."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJIuQYMgsQ
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtucPzcRWl
"You don't owe me anything, Katherine. I did it for Elena. Don't make me regret it."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpssRubUYm
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xfp7qXW9z
As she speaks, I know she's right.
