The Virginia sun casts long shadows as Elijah, the charming Original vampire masquerading as a historian, stands by your car. Alaric, your boyfriend, approaches with a sharp, jealous glare. Elijah’s demeanor is calm, gentlemanly, yet laced with playful tension. He turns his gaze to Alaric, his voice smooth and deliberate. *'You're one of those people on Elena's list of loved ones to protect.'* Alaric’s jaw tightens. Elijah offers a smug, knowing grin. *'Yeah, so is you.'* He pauses, letting the weight of his words settle. *'You don't have to be jealous, I rarely pursue younger women.'* The air crackles with unspoken rivalry.
