Anna could feel the awkward tension between the Fischer family throughout the entire dinner. She didn't know if it was because the Fischer parents were divorced or if Micah having sex with Klaus's ex-girlfriend had something to do with it. Klaus told Anna many of times that he's over it, but she knows that he still has bad feelings about it.

"So tell me about yourself." Anna spoke up when she couldn't take the awkwardness anymore.

"Who, me?" Klaus's dad asked, even though it was obvious that Anna was talking to him.

"Yes you." Anna smiled.

"What's to tell?" He asked her. "I have two amazing kids and a wonderful job. That's about it."

"There has to be more to your life." Anna pushed. "I mean, what's your favorite color? What did you want to be when you grow up? Why did you stay in London instead of running after Klaus's mom?"

Anna knew that her last question was a bitch move, but she knew that it bothered Klaus.

"Well..." he said as if he was at a lost for words. "My favorite color is white. I wanted to be an astronaut like every kid did. Why did I stay in London? I'm not quite sure. Maybe it's because I knew that there wasn't anything to chase after. Our relationship was at its end a long time before things went bad."

Anna watched as Klaus's dad looked over at Klaus's mom with a look she couldn't quite decipher. Anna smiled, knowing that some of their questions were answered because Anna had the balls to ask what they were all too scared to.

After that, dinner actually went well. They all started to talk amongst each other, but Anna knew that nothing truly had changed besides them having a bit of closure.

"Thank you for that." Klaus told Anna when they were on their way to his room.

"You're welcome." Anna said squeezing his hand in reassurance.

"No really, thank you Anna." Klaus said stopping in front of his door. Anna looked up at him when he made no move to go into his room. "Lets not go in my room, I actually want to take you somewhere."

"Where?" Anna asked him.

"Just follow me." Klaus said after he grabbed their coats out of his closet.

"Klaus, tell me where we're going." Anna insisted when they made their way into the garage and towards an expensive car that Anna was too scared to touch because she was thought she'd ruin it.

"I thought maybe I'd take you out on a date since we haven't gone on one in a while."

Anna smiled, "But where would we go if we already ate?"

"Anna, you're in London for the first time." Klaus grinned. "I'm going to take you to see the sights."

"You're the best." Anna told him even though she knows that he's fully aware of that. "But what's open this late?"

"A lot of places." He grinned. "So where to first?"

"I've heard that London is famous for their scones." Anna pointed out.

"Sounds good to me." Klaus said. "Lets go pig out."
