When I head downstairs that morning, Katherine's at the bar in the kitchen. She's sipping a wine glass of red wine.539Please respect copyright.PENANAY165MC3sER
I enter the kitchen and sit at her left on a bar stool.539Please respect copyright.PENANAuUn5xiqK5q
"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."539Please respect copyright.PENANAyq7A7lXpYx
"Yes. I hope that wasn't a mistake."539Please respect copyright.PENANA3KJB2wZS7t
"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."539Please respect copyright.PENANAbgZeBxt4Cx
"You don't owe me anything, Katherine. I did it for Elena. Don't make me regret it."539Please respect copyright.PENANATOE5TxzyM1
"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."539Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Nq5UBkrx
As she speaks, I know she's right.
