"Marry me." Elijah's words sounded more like a beg than a question.

He pulled away so he could look into my eyes. At first I thought he was acting on impulse. And if it was on impulse, I would've said no. But...

Pulling a ring out from his jackets interior pocket, Elijah held it for me to see. I don't at all regret the tattoo anymore. "The day I learned you were alive I had this made. Because I knew that the second I saw you I wouldn't want to wait any longer."

Looking back up to his eyes I opened my mouth slightly. Never did I think he would... "Elijah, nothing in this world could make me happier than marrying you would."

"I'm a vampire." "I don't know. Maybe a little less emphasis on vampire." As Care and Elena spoke I had to fight a smile.

I am trying so hard not to grab Care and jump up and down screaming. So, so, so hard. "I'm... A vampire."

The way Elena said it made me look over to Care. And she chose to simply keep placing the name cards instead of saying anything. I don't blame her. "I mean, there's only so many ways you can say it." "Well, maybe Liam will stop digging into Lady Whitmore's miraculous recovery,"

As she spoke Care walked over beside Elena. "And you won't have to complain." I couldn't help but chuckle slightly.

"Or he'll keep digging, realize that I force fed her my vampire blood, and then just bail." Elena at least be a little optimistic!

Bouncing slightly on the balls of my feet, I slowly let the smile spread across my face. "Ok. You know all of this can go away with one fell mind wipe."

Faking a cough, I managed to smile even more when they looked over to me. I'm so happy I think they're gonna ask if I'm high.

"What's got you so happy?" When Care questioned me I walked closer to the table. She was a little bit jealous.

Pulling my hand out from behind my back, I used it to hide my smile and let them see the ring. "Oh my god!"

They both yelled in shock and Care ran over to me. She hugged me tightly with her arms around my shoulders. "Tell me everything!" Honestly I was a little worried that they would be upset about it being Elijah.

I could hear Jo walk in but I didn't pay much attention.

Care pulled back with a smile when I started to speak. "Caroline! I will not tell you about how he said he had the ring made the day he found out I'm alive because he knew he wouldn't want to wait any longer!" She squealed slightly and hugged me again.

I couldn't help but laugh as I hugged her back. "Jo!" Care pulled back and turned me so I was facing Jo.

"Tony got engaged!" Jo smiled as she set the turkey down on the table. "I know, she told me this morning."

With a gasp Care slapped me on the shoulder. It made me laugh again. "You told her before me!" "I'm staying in her apartment!"

Why'd Elijah have to go with Alaric, Damon, and Stefan? I don't even know where they went.

Grunting slightly, I was finally able to twist the cap off the bottle. "Oh, sorry I'm late." That must be Luke.

As Care spoke I poured her and my glasses of wine. "We will each share something that we are thankful for in a 100 words or less, so.." I chuckled slightly and smiled to Care as I set the bottle of wine down.
