"Hey Jeremy," Alvina grabs his attention as they drive past the sign welcoming them into the state. Her boyfriend turns his head from the window and raises his eyebrows at her. She tries to control the grin on her face as she says, "Are you from Tennessee?" 

Jeremy stares at her. She wiggles her eyebrows. They both know what's coming and Jeremy's trying to remain unphased. 

"Cause you're the only ten I see... Aye, aye?" Alvina flirts, her grin spreading even wider as she nudges his side with her elbow. Jeremy's resolve breaks. She giggles as he looks away with a light blush paints his cheeks.

"The only one, love?" Enzo asks, sitting on her other side as the three of them sit in the back seat of the car like usual.

Alvina's head slowly rolls to look at him. By the time their eyes meet Alvina has forced all happy and flirtatiousness from her face turning those emotions into annoyance and pettiness.  

"You stopped cuddling me last night mister. So, yeah, love, the only one," Alvina playfully glares, wiggling her finger in his face. She taps his nose before resting her hands back on her lap.

"What about me?" Klaus asks from the drivers seat. Alvina meets his look through the rearview mirror.

"What about you?" Alvina asks, lowering her voice. The simple action effects 3/4's of the men in the car. "Do you think you're so handsome you earn a 10 oughta 10?"

"Yes," Klaus states simply yet confidently. Alvina taps her chin before shrugging.

"Alright," Alvina concedes. "Sorry babe, you're no longer the only one."

"Well, at least I was the first," Jeremy shrugs, giving her a smile. Alvina smiles back and pecks his lips.

Stefan sighs slowly and pushes his head back against the headrest. Alvina smiles at him before snuggling into Jeremy's side ignoring Enzo's pouting. They barely get another half mile down the road before Enzo's forcing her to snuggle him instead.

"Boys," Alvina rolls her eyes. Enzo smirks holding her a little closer, his lips pressing to the top of her head. "So, I know you want to interrogate this family about a potential werewolf pack but why don't you do that tomorrow and we spend today to ourselves?" She suggests.

"What did you have in mind?" Klaus wonders. Alvina shrugs.

"Something the four of us can do and Stefan can do whatever people with hero hair do," Alvina sends the Salvatore a smirk when he snorts quietly. "The last month we've been going from hotel to hotel and stuck in this stupid car. I'm at my wits ends," Alvina tells them frankly. "We could find a bar or something with some games like the Grill." 

Jeremy perks up at the mention of going somewhere similar to the Mystic Grill. His mind goes back to his hometown. He still gets rounds of homesickness but it's easing up. He's becoming used to being away from his family and home. He's growing accustomed to the moving around. He's even found himself enjoying it.
