THE TIRES HUMMED AGAINST THE FAMILIAR PAVEMENT THAT UNFOLDED BEFORE BLAIR AND MASON.
The car glided into Mystic Falls, and Blair couldn't shake the flood of memories that greeted her after five years away.
Family gatherings, laughter, and that one fateful night when she triggered her werewolf curse—it all rushed back.
As they approached the Lockwood mansion, Mason's voice broke through her reverie. "We're here." He said, casting a supportive glance her way. "You okay?"
"I'm holding up." Blair managed a soft smile, "Like a slightly dented but still resilient superhero action figure. Let's just go give your brother's send-off the grand, heartwarming spectacle it deserves."
Mason chuckled grimly and stepped out of the car first, his gaze catching on the figure standing stiffly at the Lockwood mansion's porch.
"So, the black sheep returns." Tyler said, voice colder than the autumn wind.
"Tyler?" Mason blinked. "Wow. Aren't you still twelve?"
"That's only two years older than when you last saw me, uncle Mason." Tyler shot back.
Mason only smirked and pulled him into a hug. "Come here."
A familiar voice rang out behind them. "Where's my hug?"
Blair Lockwood strolled up the steps, arms wide open.
"Blair?" Tyler blinked, startled. "You're back? I never thought I'd see you again!"
She returned his hug, grinning despite the heavy reason for their reunion. "Surprise. I'm back! Sorry it had to be under these circumstances."
"Thank you for coming." Tyler said, slinging an arm around her shoulders. "I missed you."
Tyler and Blair had once been inseparable. When he had no one, she was there. Filling the silence, defending him at school, knowing every thought before he even spoke it.
"Come in. I'll catch up with you guys later." Tyler said, opening the door and heading off to greet more guests.
Mason turned to Blair. "I'm gonna go find Carol. You good on your own?"
Blair scoffed. "Please. I invented thriving in solitude. I'm off to find a drink."
She wandered through the house, and after a few minutes, she spotted a server holding a tray of champagne.
