The pen continued to move in swirling actions, the words being printed onto the page holding an extremely high attempt rate before I decided to feel content with what I'd created. Finishing it off with my name and the letter was ready to be sealed away, prepared for the journey to a man I'd only grown closer to during our annoyingly long time apart--

"Adie?" A knock pulled me from my thoughts, body turning for my eyes to find Damon paused in my bedroom doorway.

"Yes?" I frowned, mind knowing the routine of breakfast being served in an hour. "Why aren't you and Stefan on your morning ride?"

"I was on my way to join him in the stables when Father decided to pull me aside," my brow uncrumpled, worry crossing my features with the new information.

"What for?"

"He wishes for a private discussion with you, pressing me on the urgency of needing to see you in his study." I tried to hide a gulp with the development, he noticed-- "I can wait for you in the hall--"

"No need, just go to Stefan," I smiled at his concerned look. "Go, Damon," I managed a small laugh, "I promise, I'll be fine."

"If you say so," came his small mutter before he vanished from the doorway.

I chuckled to myself once again, closing away the words I'd created in a small envelope before pushing it into my vanity's drawer. An attempt to stand and fulfill my 'Father's' wishes interrupted by my mind registering Damon's appearance--


MEMORY

"Well, as long as we haven't got two Damon's running around then I think we should be good."

Chuckles were shared, said devil using that as his que to join us-- "Talking about me(?)"

"Only good things, fratello maggiore." (Older Brother) I promised with a bat of my lashes, the elder vampire's eyes rolling--an honest smile appearing none-the-less. "So, how's the whole cornering an Original that could gut you in half a second going(?)" Damon offered me an annoyed expression, my smile only doubling with the sight. "As poorly as I predicted(?) Shock(!)"

His gaze trailed away from me, completely enraptured by my all time biggest crush-- "Let's see about that," my eyes narrowed when he patted my arm, making his way toward Elijah with a cocky smirk and arrogant demeanor.

"You don't think--"

"That he's gonna get himself killed(?)" Ric and I watched the pair split away from Carol for some privacy in a sealed office. "I should probably interrupt the attempt, right?"
