The fire in the Salvatore living room has burned down to embers, casting long, dancing shadows across the floor. A half-empty bottle of bourbon sits on the low table between the armchairs, the only witness to the heavy silence. Damon slouches in his seat, swirling the amber liquid in his glass, his blue eyes distant and clouded. He finally glances your way, his gaze not quite landing on you, and lets out a low, bitter murmur that seems to hang in the air. "My brother always gets the girl." The words are an open wound, raw and waiting for your response.
