WHEN JULIETTE FINISHED HER shift, Elena called to inform her that Caroline was safe. Elijah's witch saved her and the Salvatore brothers who were getting severely beaten. Stefan had also suggested that Elena and Bonnie would surprise Caroline by staying over to help comfort her.
So the blonde had let Matt finish closing up as she began to walk home. She was exhausted from the long day, even though she had been stuck at work, supposedly away from the drama, it somehow found its way there. The one place where she could relax for a while was no longer a refuge.
Her mind ran wild with what happened with Elijah when she was on her break. They had almost kissed. They were so, so close to each other—inches apart. Juliette could feel his warm breath on her skin as they stared at each other.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, why was she still thinking about it hours later? It meant nothing to her. Nothing.
But why did she allow herself to get close to him?
He was making her question everything she believed in. Juliette didn't understand why she was feeling this way, why she hoped that they could have more interactions like that. If anyone found out that she was acting like this with him, she would be dead.
