Ember and Damon are in the kitchen of the Salvatore Boarding House. Ember is making breakfast dressed in one of Damon's black button ups while he sits at the island with a glass of blood watching her.
At the lake house, Stefan is on the dock, skipping stones across the lake. His phone rings and he answers it. Damon is on the other end.
"What's going on?" He asks.
"Well, I woke up next to a very sexy doppelgänger twin." He watches Ember blush as she removes the poached eggs from the water for eggs benedict. "I showered. I shaved. Having breakfast. Very relaxed." Damon reflects as Em puts a plate in front of him and tucks into her own.
"That makes one of us." Stefan drawls.
"I did hear one piece of good news though." Damon relays to him. "Tyler Lockwood ran away from home last night." He informs his brother. Ember gives him a look. She is worried about Tyler but will admit that a part of her is relieved to have another werewolf with potentially a fatal bite away from Damon, Stefan and Caroline.
"How do you know?" Stefan asks.
"Well, I heard it from Sheriff Forbes, who heard it from a very distraught Carol Lockwood, thus, ending our werewolf chapter, bringing us to..." He pauses.
"...killing Elijah." Stefan finishes.
"Exactly." Damon agrees and notices that Ember's coffee is empty.
"Well, it's not just going to be easy. He's crafty." Stefan comments.
"Well, I've got a crafty little dagger." Damon reminds him and grabs Ember's cup and refills it from the carafe, adding caramel creamer from the fridge and three spoons of sugar.
"He's an Original. We don't know what all that encompasses." Stefan warns.
"Oh, trust me, Stefan. I'm gonna dot all my t's. I don't want any surprises." Damon assures him as he watches Ember sip her coffee. Stefan can hear it in his voice, he would do anything to protect her.
"Wow, Damon, tell me you're actually gonna be careful for once?" Stefan asks.
"Yes, Stefan, I've become you. How tragic for both of us. Got to run. I've a murder to plan. Busy day." Damon hangs up and walks over to Ember. He wraps his hand in her hair and tugs her head back to gently to lift her lips to his. She tastes like caramel and something uniquely her.
"Hmmm." She hums happily against his lips and he starts to deepen the kiss but she pulls back. "I have to get ready to go meet Jenna. She's showing Elijah around the old properties and asked me to help."
"I don't want you anywhere near him." Damon growls against her neck, running his nose down her throat and inhaling her scent.
"It's a good chance to find out more about him Damon, and it would look suspicious if I refused." Ember points out.
