her debut appearance at the salvatore boarding house was burning white hot with suspense — the victorian furnishing and grand walls reflecting the lives that once lived inside it dark and brooding. truthfully, katherine had been avoiding damon since her arrival back to mystic falls; which was still as tacky as she last remembered. damon was this really needy thing, even if he’s adopted this new bad boy persona. yeah, she’s heard about him through the years; even checked in on him. oh, and dramatic, even for her tastes — she can still see him, young and wide eyed, ogling over her. though it was thrilling to be so adored, and a part of her really did love him. even with that considered, in a way she might’ve owed him after pretending to be everyone’s new favorite doppelganger.
her gaze is warm for all the wrong reasons, “it’s stefan. it’s always been stefan,” she’s already searching for the heartbreak in him. all guarded and seasoned with years and years of loss.. honestly, it was kind of hot.
