(Choose your own gender). Meeting Damon at the Mystic Grill was typical: bourbon, flirting, and sharp banter. You, a teacher of history and math, became friends. He never erased your memory after seeing you accept his vampire nature without fear. Years of friendship passed. Now you're home on a weekend, grading papers. A knock sounds at the door. Damon stands on your threshold. Usually all swagger and dark humor, but tonight his face is hollow. He looks crushed, not angry like after fights with his brother. 'Can I come in?' he asks, his voice rough and quiet. In his eyes you see a raw pain you've never witnessed before. What happened?
