"I HOPE ROSE IS IN A BETTER PLACE NOW, EVEN IF SHE DID SCREW US OVER." Harper commented, standing in Damon's bedroom, her eyes on the TV that happened to be playing the news channel, which was covering the massacre that happened because of Rose the night before. Rose had been bitten by a werwolf, Jules, to be exact, and because of it, she had horrible hallucinations and Damon ended up having to kill her.

"I'm sure she is." Damon replied, shutting the water off in the shower that was previously pouring over him. He grabbed a towel and slung it over his waist, walking out to where Harper was standing.

Harper turned to glance at him, blushing slightly and quickly looking back at the TV when she got caught staring.

"You're a little too obvious, Harper." Damon commented, coming up behind Harper and kissing her neck gently, a few droplets of water dripping down her skin from his wet hair.

"Just go get dressed, Elena said she wants me to meet her at the grill, and she said you could come." Harper stated, turning to fully face Damon, who rolled his eyes.

"We don't have fifteen minutes to spare?" Damon asked, raising an eyebrow as he leaned in to kiss Harper, but she turned her head so he kissed her cheek, instead.

"Dressed. Now. She said it was urgent." Harper stated firmly, raising her eyebrows at Damon who let out a frustrated sigh before heading over to his closet to get dressed.

The two of them made their way to the grill once Damon was dressed, walking inside the building to find Elena waiting for them near the bar, standing alone.

"What's going on?" Harper asked, approaching Elena with Damon by her side.

"My uncle is back. I wanted to talk to him, but I didn't want to do it alone." Elena explained, letting out a quiet sigh.

"What? John? Who let him back into Mystic Falls?" Damon asked, suddenly growing intrigued by the situation.

"All I know is he hasn't been helpful. He totally dropped the bomb on Jenna this morning and told her that he's my father." Elena replied, clearly annoyed by her uncle's presence.

"Well, where is he?" Harper asked, scanning the restaurant to try and find him.

"Right over there." Elena replied, pointing at her uncle, who was talking to Jenna and Alaric.

"John, buddy, how you been?" Damon greeted, leading Elena and Harper over to the table he was standing next to, where Jenna and Alaric were eating lunch.

"I've been alright, Damon. It's good to see you." John replied, clearly lying through his teeth so Jenna wouldn't suspect anything.

"Harper, Elena, you hungry? We've got some extra fries." Jenna offered, trying to break the awkward silence between them.
