"Anything interesting in the mail?" Klaus asked Amy. "Did you get a letter?"
"No," Amy shook her head and tried to hide the letter behind her back. "It's nothing."
"I see it," Klaus replied. "If it's nothing, then why are you trying to hide it from me?" He snatched it from her and read it over. "Well, well, well," He tore it apart. "It seems like you have a friend."
"I didn't do anything to encourage this, Klaus," Amy reminded him. "I don't even know who sent me the letter. There was no return address on the envelope!"
"I think it should be obvious to you who sent you that letter," Klaus replied. "Don't play stupid. I know you know!"
"No, I don't!" Amy cried. "And since you seem to have a better idea than I do about the identity of the sender, please tell me."
"Jonathan Putnam," Klaus said through his teeth. "Your old boyfriend. He's been nosing around here for months. I found him spying on us during New Years. And Margot told me he'd been around longer than that."
Amy's jaw dropped. "I don't understand," she said. "If you knew Jonathan was around all this time, why didn't you tell me?"
"Well, why do you need to know?" Klaus replied. "He's a criminal. You shouldn't want to have anything to do with him."
Amy scoffed. "You're not free of bad deeds yourself, Mister. I wouldn't judge if I were you. "
Klaus let out a growl from deep in his throat.
"Oh, stop!" Amy replied. "If that's supposed to scare me, it won't."
"So what are you gonna do?" Klaus asked.
"I'm gonna go to the jail to see him," Amy replied. "But first, I want to have a word with my sister, since she was as much a part of this deception as you were."
"Before you leave for the jail," Klaus told her, "come back here and get me. I want to come with you."
"No, you won't," Amy replied firmly. "I'm going by myself. But I'm sure you and Savannah can find something to do with yourselves, can't you?"
"But what if she turns into something while you're gone?" Klaus asked as she headed toward the door. "It's not like I can turn her back!"
"Well, I could take her to the jail with me, but-"
"Amy!" Klaus interrupted in shock. "You wouldn't!"
"Or I could drop her off at my sister's," Amy finished. "Which one would you like?"
"Margot's, definitely," Klaus replied.
"All right," Amy nodded. "I'll drop her off at Margot's." She went to get Savannah, and then the two of them set off so that Amy could scold her sister.
"Margot!" Amy yelled, knocking on her sister's door. "I know Jonathan is out and about and that you and Klaus were keeping that fact from me! Why did you do that?"
Margot opened the door. "You know?" She asked. "Damn! You weren't supposed to!"
"What made you think you had the right to keep something like that from me? Are you still in love with him? Did you think that if you told me, I would try and take him away from you? Cause I won't!"
"It wasn't that," Margot replied. "I mean, he's a very handsome man, of course, but the only reason why he was at my house was that he broke out of jail and wanted me to hide him. I was gonna take him back, eventually."
"So nice of you ladies to talk about me," Kol replied, coming up behind Margot.
"What makes you think we were talking about you?" Margot asked without turning around.
"I heard you say 'He's a very handsome man', so naturally I assumed you were talking about me," Kol replied.
Margot rolled her eyes. "Well, we weren't talking about you!" She said. "Go find a mirror to stare into, or better yet, a place to live that isn't here!"
He didn't move, so she pushed him out of the way, then moved away from the door as Amy forced her way in. "Nice to see you too," Margot remarked dryly. "What's gotten your panties in a bunch?"
"I know that you kept Jonathan here forever without telling me. Then Klaus found out and he didn't tell me either! What in the world is wrong with you two?"
"Why do you care?" Margot asked. "Do you still like him?"
"Do you?" Amy asked. "Is that why you concealed him here and risked punishment from the council?"
"No!" Margot shook her head quickly. "Of course I don't like him anymore! That's all over and done with. He's always gonna like you more anyway. I just...he was an old friend and needed a place to stay is all. So I helped him. But then I was the one who brought him back to jail, and Astrid knows that, so I'm good in that regard."
"Well, you're damn lucky, Margot," Amy told her. "So he's at the Council jail now?"
"Yeah," Margot sighed. "Are you gonna go see him?"
Amy nodded. "I was thinking about it." Then Savannah let out a brief whimper and Amy looked down at her as if she'd forgotten the baby was there. "Oh, and will you watch Savannah for me? I don't think a prison is a good place for a baby."
"Sure," Margot replied, taking her. "Are we even once I do this?"
"I'll think about it," Amy replied. "But I don't know."
"Putnam!" The warden yelled as he knocked on Jonathan's cell, rousing him from a doze. "Get up! You have a visitor!"
"I do?" Jonathan asked, jumping to his feet. "Who is it?"
"A young lady," the warden replied. "So be on your best behavior." He was let out and led down the rows of cells full of hollering prisoners and led to the visiting room. His eyes widened and he ran in the rest of the way when he saw Amy. "I'll be right outside," the guard told her. "Just yell if you have any problems."
"Thank you," Amy told him. "But I think I'll be fine." The guard shut the door, leaving Amy and Jonathan alone. "I know we don't have a lot of time," she said. "But once I found out you were here, I wanted to see you. I heard from Margot and my husband that you've been around awhile."
"Yes, I have," Jonathan nodded. "Trying to catch glimpses of you whenever I could, but naturally, it's been difficult."
"How did you end up here?" Amy asked.
"Well, I've been without power a long time, Amy," he said. "For a little while, I was okay with it, but then I began to think about how unfair it was that everyone around me got to have powers when I myself was without because of a mistake made by one of my relatives. It wasn't fair. So, I decided to take power from others, and naturally, that was frowned upon, so here I am."
Amy sighed. "What was it I used to tell you?" She asked as she put a hand on his. "It doesn't matter if you have powers. What matters is that you're a good person. You forgot that, didn't you?"
"Yes," Jonathan nodded, looking at her hand over his. "I did forget that. I'm sorry." Then, he cleared his throat. "Enough about me, what about your life? I understand you're married. I've had a few altercations with your husband."
"I know," Amy told him. "I'm sorry about that, really. He's just the jealous type. He found out I was coming here to see you and nearly had a coronary. And we have a little girl, too. She just started showing signs of powers last month."
"Did she?" He grinned. "That must be nice."
"Yeah," Amy nodded. "It is."
Just then, the door opened. "Excuse me, miss?" The guard poked his head in. "I'm sorry, but your time is up."
"Oh, thank you," Amy nodded at him and stood up. "It-it was good to see you," she told Jonathan.
"It was good to see you too," he told her. "You're as lovely as ever. Will you come back and visit me again, Amy? I get so little company?"
"Yes," Amy grinned. "Of course I will. "Good-bye, Jonathan."
"...So now she's at a jail by herself, visiting her ex-fiance!" Klaus fumed, pounding his fist on the table. "She wouldn't even let me come with her! I mean, you'd never let Selina get away with doing something like that, would you, brother?"
Elijah steepled his fingers and stared at his brother from the other side of his desk in his office. "Kindly don't hit the table, Niklaus," he said. "It'll ruin the wood. As for your question, of course I wouldn't. In fact, just the other day, Selina got a call from Damon Salvatore, some problem with Sam. And he had the nerve to call her by a pet name when he knew I was in the room!"
"Well, that's rough and I am sorry," Klaus replied. "But back to my problem: what should I do?"
"Next time you see her," Elijah instructed, "Tell her that when she goes to the jail in the future, you come with her, or she doesn't go at all. Can you do that?"
"Well, of course," Klaus nodded. "And I'll be willing to risk whatever magical revenge she takes on me too. It can't be too bad, can it?"
"I don't know, brother," Elijah told him. "But good luck!"
"What are you two talking about?" Selina asked as she poked her head in the office door. "And does anyone want snacks?"
"No, thank you," Elijah replied. "We're talking about something important. Come back later." Selina ignored this and came inside, coming to stand next to Klaus. "So, how's Amy?" She asked him.
"Not bad," Klaus replied. "Meeting her ex-fiance in jail right now, but other than that, not bad."
Selina's eyes widened. "What did Amy do to land in jail?"
"She was not put in jail," Elijah corrected. "She went to visit someone in jail."
"Oh!" Selina nodded. "Good. I was worried for a minute there!"
"Didn't I tell you to keep working on the wedding plans during Niklaus' visit?" Elijah asked her.
"Well, fine, Mr. Bossy," Selina replied. "I'll go. I know when I'm not wanted. You don't have to tell me twice." She left and Elijah sighed. "I have to tell her many more times than twice. She has an annoying habit of always wanting to be involved in things that aren't her business."
"So, whose wedding is she planning?" Klaus asked him. "Are you and she renewing your vows? Do I need to pull out my best man tuxedo?"
"It's Laura and Edward's wedding, not ours," Elijah corrected.
"But I thought that wouldn't take place for a few more months." Klaus said. "What happened?"
"Laura got pregnant is what happened," Elijah replied. "Not that I'm too upset. It's not like they weren't already engaged when it happened. And Edward is a fine, upstanding young man."
"Like you'd let Laura date any other kind," Klaus told him.
"You're right, I wouldn't," Elijah nodded. "Now, is there anything else you need from me?"
"No," Klaus shook his head and stood up. "Good luck with the wedding planning and I'm gonna go try my luck with Amy."
"All right," Elijah nodded. "Good luck, brother."
"And just where were you?" Amy asked when Klaus came through the door.
"I was visiting my brother," Klaus replied. "If you can go to a jail and visit your criminal ex-fiance, then surely my visiting my brother is no problem."
"Well, you could have at least left a note," Amy told him. "I was worried!"
"You were," Klaus replied in surprise. "I thought you'd be cursing me to hell right now."
"No!" Amy shook her head. "Don't get me wrong, I mean, I'm still mad at you for not trusting me, but that's all."
He came and put his arms around her waist. "Is Savannah asleep?" He asked right next to her ear.
"Yes," Amy nodded as his hands slid down her body. "But don't think you can use sex to try and make me forgive you."
"Oh, certainly not," Klaus replied and slung her over his shoulder, carrying her to their room. "I'm not doing this because I want you to forgive me. I'm doing this because I want to have sex!"
"Oh, all right," Amy chuckled as he undressed her and unzipped his pants. "Whatever. I don't care." She held onto him tight, tingles coursing through her body as his hands slid up her inner thighs, and then, as he kissed her deeply, slipped inside her.
"Oh, my goodness," Amy whispered. "Oh, my goodness!" She held on tighter as he entered a few more times, her fingers threading through his wet blond hair. Then, as Amy panted, he paused and looked down into her eyes. "I love you," he said to her.
And when she got breath to speak again, she said, "I love you too."
