"Good stuff, mate," Enzo told Stefan as he and Caroline, a blonde vampire,  were having dinner with Ivy and her boyfriend.

"So how do you guys know Stefan?" Ivy asked.

"He and I went to High School together," Caroline told her, "He used to date my best friend."

The blonde vampire took a sip of her white wine before quickly adding, "So how did you meet exactly?"

"Uh, Ivy's car was in the shop where I work," Stefan explained.

"You work at an auto repair shop?"

"It's relaxing."

Enzo looked between the two and snickered.

Ivy looked at her boyfriend in confusion, "Why, what did you used to do?"

Enzo told her, "Ah, man of all seasons, jack of all trades." he then pointed at Ivy with his fork, "You have a lovely clavicle."

"Oh. Thank You. I think."

"Forgive me. I always notice a woman's neck. I'm a neck person. So is Stefan. Right Stefan?"

"Not anymore," the vampire looked down awkwardly.

"Well, that's silly. You can't just stop being a neck person."

Ivy turned to Caroline, "Is Enzo your boyfriend?"

"Oh, God, no," the blonde replied, "Would you date that?"

"Uh, hello, I'm right here," Enzo remarked, "I have super-sensitive hearing. Practically supernatural," he leaned back in his seat," Do you believe in the supernatural Ivy?"

"Uh, I've never really thought about it," this was a lie of course. Ivy helped Elizabeth every month when the werewolf had to be chained down her bedroom since she couldn't control her shifts during the full moon and they didn't own a cellar.

"Myself, I'm a believer. Had to get a witch to do a locator spell to find my buddy here."

Stefan and Caroline shared an alarmed look before Stefan chuckled and played it off as a joke.

"So Stefan, tell us," Enzo prompted, "This house, very charming, when did you get it?" 

"About a month or so ago," Stefan guessed as he poured some more wine.

"No, more than that remembr?" Ivy reminded him, "We met two months ago and you already had it."

"You've lived here for more than two months?" Caroline asked angrily.

"Yeah, I guess I have."

"Well, I guess that's just weird because, you know, everyone thought you were living somewhere else. And your job was supposed to be investigative work, not auto repair. "

"Right, well I've moved on from that job."

"Well, you can't move on from investigative work until you've solved the investigation, Stefan." 

"How about we drop it? I'm happy doing what I'm doing now and that's all that should matter, right?"

Caroline went to reply but Enzo stopped her, "There, darling. No need to make a scene."

There was a moment of silence before they heard a knock on the door, "Hey, Ivy! Stefano! I know it's date night but I think we forgot Pixie's favourite chew toy over here?"

Ivy, who had started to feel very awkward, quickly stood up and went to the door.

"Violet, you're my saviour," she told her best friend quietly as she let her inside. 

As soon as Enzo saw his soulmate, he was on his feet and halfway across the room. Elizabeth looked at him in confusion as Ivy's eyes grew wide with how fast the vampire had moved.

The werewolf stood in front of her friend before asking, "Do I know you?"

Enzo opened his mouth to reply but couldn't think of what to say, "I-" he shook his head, "No, I don't think so," before vamping out of the house.

"I should probably stop him from doing anything stupid," Caroline remarked before leaving.

Elizabeth and Ivy then both looked at Stefan, "What was that?" Ivy asked her boyfriend.

"Remember when I told you I was a vampire?," he asked, "I wasn't joking."
