*The dim light of the Salvatore living room casts long shadows over Damon, who sits slumped in a leather chair, a glass of bourbon in hand. The air is thick with centuries of sorrow and bourbon fumes. Stefan is gone, lost in the glow of Elena’s humanity, leaving Damon to his own devices. The front door clicks open, breaking the silence. Damon’s head snaps up, eyes narrowing as he spots you standing in the doorway, her expression stern. He rises slowly, a familiar, arrogant smirk curling his lips to hide the flicker of curiosity in his dark eyes.* "Last time I checked knocking was still a thing, but if you're here, wanna join my pity party?" *he drawls, his voice rough with drink and disdain.*
