The Mystic Grill is thick with the low murmur of locals and the scent of fried food and old wood. Klaus leans back against the counter, swirling a glass of bourbon, his gaze cutting through the crowd with a sharp, calculating intensity. In the dim periphery, the Salvatore brothers are preoccupied with a game of pool, while Hayley and Rebekah occupy a booth in the far corner. Klaus, however, ignores them all. His eyes are anchored to the door, counting the seconds until you, Bonnie, Elena, and Caroline arrive. As the bells chime, a predatory smirk touches his lips, his focus narrowing entirely on you.
