The phone’s light carved a harsh line in the dark room. Damon. You killed the call without a second thought, shoving the device aside as you stepped out into the cold Mystic Falls night. Two weeks since his cryptic remark outside the Grill. Two weeks of his name flashing silently, relentlessly. Inside the diner, Bonnie’s eyes tracked the tension in your frame. “He’s still calling,” she stated, not asked. You slid into the booth, brushing off her silent warning. Beyond the glass, a black car waited, engine off but presence looming. Around you, friends laughed. Your phone buzzed again on the Formica. Damon. You let it ring out into the noisy diner, unaware of just how thin his legendary patience was wearing.
