Splitting Our Odds Into Evens

Passed the Test.

For ten minutes, the car had been silent. Kol and Davina were still processing what had happened earlier, while Bonnie had no interest in revisiting it. As absurd as it seemed, she felt embarrassed for revealing her feelings to her friends. It made Bonnie feel weak, knowing she kept it bottled up for so long, only to bring it up because Kol made a fuss about it the second they walked into Elena's house.

Suddenly, Bonnie's phone rang, breaking the silence. She looked down at the video call, deciding whether she wanted to answer or not. 

"Who is it?" Kol asked, briefly glancing at her while focusing on the road.

"Rebekah," Bonnie replied. 

"Are you going to answer?" Kol asked. 

"Yeah. Might be important." She swiped to answer, and before she could even say hi, the blonde held up her hand, showing her diamond ring.

"I said yes!" Rebekah exclaimed.

If anything could make Bonnie feel better, it was this. "Oh my gosh! Congratulations, Rebekah!" She turned to Kol, who now wore a gentle smile. Bonnie tapped his arm repeatedly. "Pull over!"

Kol pulled alongside the road.

Davina let out a deep sigh from the backseat, annoyed by all the commotion. 

Bonnie turned the camera towards Kol. "Congrats, Beks. No one deserves it more than you," he said.

Marcel appeared in the frame. "Thanks, Bonnie. You're a good friend. And Kol, thanks for helping me pick out the ring."

Kol chuckled. "Told you Rebekah's more of a gold girl."

"I love it, brother. Thank you for your blessing. You, of all people, hated Marcel the most, yet you still gave your blessing for my happiness. That means the world to me."

"It makes me happy that you're happy," Kol said.

Bonnie pouted playfully. "Aww, you two actually like each other!" she teased which made Rebekah laugh. Seeing the siblings being nice to each other was rare, and it melted Bonnie's heart when she witnessed it. 

Kol, however, quickly changed the mood. "Well, we should get going. We're heading to Bonnie's dad's place."

"Oh, okay, we'll chat later?" Rebekah asked.

"Definitely," Bonnie said.

"Is Davina with you?" Marcel asked.

"Yeah, she's right here," Bonnie said, turning to hand the phone to Davina, who shook her head, clearly not wanting to talk. Bonnie passed her the phone anyway.

"Davina, hey," Marcel greeted. The last time they spoke, things didn't end too well.

"Hey," Davina forced a smile. "Congrats on your engagement."

"Thanks. Look, D, we need to talk-"

Before he could finish, Davina hung up and returned the phone to Bonnie.

"That was rude," Bonnie muttered, taking her phone back.

Kol turned his head slightly. "You're acting like a big baby," he said. 

Davina crossed her arms. "Say one more word, Kol, and I'll leave this car and walk."

Kol unlocked the doors. "Alright, go ahead. Good luck with the GPS—there's no signal in this ghost town. And don't forget to close the door on your way out."

Davina scoffed, opening the car door and stepping out. Kol shook his head at her immaturity, not thinking she'd actually leave.

"Davina, get back in the car," Bonnie called.
