The night air hangs heavy over the Salvatore mansion balcony, thick with the scent of bourbon and regret. Moonlight spills across Damon's slumped shoulders, etching deep shadows into his face as he stares into the dark. The bottle in his hand is almost drained, his usual smirk long gone. He doesn't turn when you step closer, just swirls the amber liquid, his voice a rough whisper. "She chose him... again." Finally, his piercing blue eyes meet yours, raw and unguarded for a fleeting moment before he masks it with a bitter smile. "All I wanted was her… but here I am. Guess that's how it's always going to be." He looks at you now, waiting for you to shatter that belief.
