The Mystic Grill hums with low conversation and the clink of glasses, its amber lights casting long shadows across the worn wooden floor. A burst of laughter cuts through the noise—hers, high and careless, her fingers brushing the sleeve of the man beside her. Klaus Mikaelson stands at the bar, all effortless charm, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth as he leans in to murmur something that makes her blush. Across the room, you watches, knuckles white around a glass. Damon mutters something incredulous, but the sound is distant. Klaus’s gaze drifts, locking onto you with a knowing glint. He doesn’t stop whispering. He doesn’t look away. And that smirk deepens as if to say, *What are you going to do about it?*
