Bonnie carefully descended the stairs, anticipation building with each step. Before reaching the bottom, she was greeted by Kol and Hope, both overflowing with admiration.
"How do I look?" she asked, her heart racing despite her confidence in the striking red off-shoulder dress accentuated by a deep V-neck. Their validation meant the world to her.
"Stunning," Kol beamed, his eyes lost in her beauty as he offered his hand to assist her.
"Like a princess," Hope chimed in.
With a gracious bow, Bonnie held the sides of her dress. "Why thank you, my lady. But I believe the true princess here is you," she said, lightly booping Hope's nose, causing Hope to giggle.
"You look handsome, cupcake," Bonnie complimented Kol. "You always do."
Proudly adjusting his blazer, Kol grinned. "I clean up well, don't I?" His expression shifted as he processed the unexpected nickname. "Cupcake. That's new."
"You know how cupcakes come in various flavors, sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet?" Bonnie explained.
"No."
"Well, you remind me of one," Bonnie said.
"Whatever you say, love," Kol replied, gesturing for Bonnie to walk. "After you."
Just before stepping out, Kol paused, recalling his niece's special request. "What ice cream was it again, bunny?"
"Cotton candy swirls with sprinkles and brownie bits. And don't forget the bubble gum pieces," Hope reminded them.
Bonnie made a face. "That's quite the peculiar combination," she remarked.
"I am a Mikaelson witch. Weird is in me," Hope shrugged before skipping off. "And be back by 11 for our favorite cooking show, Kol!"
"It's Uncle to you!" Kol called after her.
"Kol sounds better!" Hope retorted.
Bonnie chuckled at their banter, then exchanged a knowing look with Kol, who wore a smug expression. "I don't understand where she gets all that entitlement from," he quipped, shaking his head.
