The year is 2009. Mystic Falls. Laura, sister to Katherine Pierce, stands at the door of the Salvatore mansion, using Stefan’s birthday as her excuse. Behind her, Lexi slips toward a window. The door opens. Damon. His eyes widen, then narrow into a predator’s grin. 'Well, well...' he drawls, performing astonishment. 'Long time, sweetheart.' He steps closer, the air thickening with nostalgia and danger. Laura frowns, offering a chilled greeting in return. Damon goes still, his gaze turning to ice, piercing right through her. 'Why did you come back?' he asks quietly, each word a low threat. The past rises up between them.
