This was hell. There was no other way to describe it, Liesel was literally in her own personal hell and there was no way for her to escape it. She felt uncomfortable, exposed and her feet hurt like hell in these ridiculous shoes. Not to mention she was in the Lockwood Mansion, her second least favourite place in the world right after her school. For Liesel she was in the enemy territory surrounded by countless people who hated her and she was stuck here with nowhere to go as she was forced to stay here to represent her family given that she was from one of the founding families and this heritage party was pretty big deal and some precious family heirlooms from her own family were on dispay as this so called party was to celebrate the history of Mystic Falls. So Liesel had no choice in the matter, her dad was adamant about her staying at the party for a good couple of hours. Liesel tried arguing with her dad that her poor social skills and lack of patience for the people in this town were a very good reason for her not to be here but George Caffrey wasn't buying any of this. He stated that the Caffrey were an integral part of Mystic Falls and it's history and as such they needed to be represented at the heritage party and because Liesel was a member of the Caffrey family she had to go given that Jared was on shift at the firehouse and Spencer was still away at school. It was unfair. Liesel didn't like any of this, she just wanted to go home and get out of this silly clothes and into something more comfortable. But no she couldn't do that as she had to put up appearances for this stupid town. Liesel simply hated this town, everything it stood for Aand the fact that she got dragged into all this crap despite the fact that she wanted nothing to do with it. This town had done absolutely nothing for Liesel except make her life miserable so why should she be forced to be here when nobody wanted her hear in the first place? Skulking around the party, Liesel couldn't help but notice the looks she was getting from everyone, no doubt wondering who on earth invited the town freak to the party. The staring didn't both Liesel as she was very much used to it but she often wondered why didn't the idiots of Mystic Falls ever get bored of it given that she never did anything of interest except when she got suspended but that was months ago.

"I would say you look miserable in this moment, if it weren't for the fact that I know you like to pride yourself on the fact that you are always miserable."

Liesel looked to her left and saw Stefan, looking at her with an amused look on his face and she couldn't help but smile. As much as she didn't want to be his friend at first, Liesel was glad to have Stefan as a friend as the two were alike in more ways than one. They both had secrets and shared a mutual friend in loneliness because of what they both were. Stefan was the first person who Liesel could be completely honest with in regards to herself and her abilities and Stefan accepted her the way she was, they didn't have a normal friendship but the two of them weren't normal in the slightest. Liesel guessed that was why they got on so well.

"About time you got here to save me as I am dying of boredom here Salvatore… But where's Elena? Figured that the two of you would be attached to the hip as per usual…" Liesel questioned as she looked around but she could see no trace Elena in the slightest which Liesel was okay with as that meant that she didn't have to attempt to make small talk with a person she had no interest in talking to.

"She said something about going to check up on Bonnie and Jenna so whilst Elena did that, I figured that I would come find you to save you from your own self loathing as I know how much you hate these town events. Despite the fact that you hate anything that involves a large group of people, you know you might have some fun Liesel if you eased up a bit, you know… Relaxed a bit?" Stefan suggested and Liesel's brow just rose at the suggestion as she couldn't believe what she was hearing. The dark and forever brooding vampire who wrote all his feelings in a journal which no one could read was telling her of all people to lighten up? The irony of that caused Liesel to laugh as if Stefan of all people was telling her to lighten up then maybe she should. But it was hard enough for her to lighten up when she was a party that was filled with all the people who had made her life hell for as long as she could remember. Liesel being able to lighten up and enjoy herself was a lot easier said then done given that she felt very uncomfortable.

"You of all people are telling me to lighten up?" Liesel asked wearily allowing herself to laugh.

"Why don't we get a drink?" Stefan offered.

"No can do."

"I thought you had just agreed to this whole lightening up thing? Lees you can't agree to it and then change your mind about it, that's not how this thing works…" Stefan said and Liesel just rolled her eyes as she wasn't turning down getting a drink for the reasons that Stefan was thinking. Liesel had good reasons for turning down a drink, despite that she couldn't help but take note that Stefan had just called her Lees for the second time today. The only people who called her that was her family and normally she'd have a problem with someone outside her family calling her that but she'd make an exception for Stefan.

"That's not why I'm turning it down, my dad is here and whilst he occasionally turns a blind eye to under age drinking, I'm driving and if there is one thing my old man absolutely can't stand is drunk drivers, given all the accidents and wrecks he's been called to so I've had the whole don't drink and drive thing drilled into my head from a very young age. Not to mention it interferes with my abilities…"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I can't drink alcohol as it majorly messes with me as the alcohol affects my cognition and my abilities are mental based. When I've had alcohol I've sort of lost control of my abilities and I'll get a read off anything I touch and I'll end up seeing twenty million things at once and it just overwhelms me. The more I drink the less control I have so I don't do drugs or alcohol in the slightest." Liesel explained and Stefan nodded slowly in understanding but stopped after a moment after they saw Damon on the other side of the room. He hadn't seen them but Liesel and Stefan turned their backs just in case Damon got the inkling to look over. "Looks like the Brother Grimm is here, I was wondering when he was going to show his face…"

"Funny Liesel… I know you know this already but Damon can't find out that you still know we're vampires and that you remember him killing Tanner. He allowed you to live because you are a descendent of Holden Caffrey but that was under the assumption that I'd compel you to forget. If he finds out that you remember Liesel, Damon will not hesitate to kill you." Stefan said, all jokes aside.

"Trust me Stefan, it's going to work and I've seen it work so relax a bit why don't you… Besides I've seen my death and it's not at the hands of Damon." Liesel casually lied, she hadn't seen how she would die as that sort of went against the big rules of not using her abilities for her own personal gain but Stefan didn't know that. "Don't worry Stefan, I'm not going to let your brother know I remember as that would screw up the plan and I want him gone as much as you do."

"Okay Liesel… Oh by the way you should talk this and drink it." Stefan said going into his jacket pocket and pulling out a small vile of liquid vervain.

"Why do I need to take it? I thought you said that I was immune to compulsion because of my annoying little problem?"

"You are but that doesn't mean that Damon can't feed of you, just take it in case… Please?"

"Sure… Now I've got to go play the dutiful founding daughter and make small talk with idiots but if you see me ready to strangle any of the Lockwood's then please feel free to save me…" Liesel quipped tapping Stefan lightly on the chest before walking off.

Liesel hated parties as a whole, they were her brothers scene and not hers but if there was any kind of party that Liesel hated in particular then it was these pompous parties thrown by the founders council which were spearheaded by the Lockwood's. Liesel always found them to be so stiff and it required so much effort on her part to be nice to people who always gave her funny looks and talked behind her about her back, which was happening as Liesel walked through the Lockwood mansion. Liesel figured that she'd walk around for a while, make sure that people in particular her dad saw her before sneaking off to hide out somewhere for the remainder of the party. Liesel must have gone around for about close to an hour, making small talk with people she didn't like but who loved her father until she ran into the last person she wanted to see; Caroline Forbers.

"Von Trapp, what are you doing here?" Caroline demanded and Liesel just tolled her eyes, the sound of music jokes got pretty old ten years ago, now they were just plain boring and showed any lack of imagination.

"It's the founders party Forbes, the clue's in the name. I'm here because like you I'm from one of the founding families… Caffrey? Does that ring a bell in that shallow and empty space in your skull where your brains supposed to be? A founders party generally requires the presence of the founding family, particularly mine when most of the items shown on the heritage display come from my family. I know that having to share the same space as me is difficult, I personally find it awful having to be here in the same place as you and I'm pretty sure that my IQ has dropped ten points by engaging you with this pointless conversation but what can I do? My dad wants me to be here and even though I don't want to be in the same room as you I promised my dad that I wouldn't hit you again after what happened last time and unlike you I'm no liar. When I give my word to someone, I tend to keep it so you are just going to have to put up with me being here as I'm not going anywhere Forbes. No matter what you say or even what you'll try to do to me, I'm not going anywhere as I have every right to be here as much as you do Forbes." Liesel snarled not caring for niceties in the first place as she wasn't a nice person overall and why should she be nice to someone like Caroline Forbes? A vapid blonde who was irrelevant to anything and had a long history of giving Liesel a hard time and the reason why she had gotten herself suspended last year. Besides, Liesel was doing more than enough for Caroline by saving her from Damon even though she didn't deserve to be receiving any help from Liesel.

"Ladies, what's with all the name calling? This is supposed to be a party…"

Liesel didn't have to see, to know that it was Damon Salvatore as she would recognize that over arrogance anywhere. The elder of the two Salvatore brothers was someone who Liesel wouldn't be forgetting anytime soon given that she had witnessed him kill Tanner right before her very own eyes and act like it was no big deal. Damon was the thing that went bump in the night in Mystic Falls, the big bad evil who was the real culprit of the animal attacks that had been happening over the last few weeks. Liesel probably should have been scared of Damon, after all he was a vampire but when Liesel had taken that book of Stefan, the one that belonged to Damon, she saw things about Damon and found out things about him that meant she would never be afraid of him. Liesel knew some of his darkest secrets although the big one that was alluding her was why he was here in Mystic Falls but she still knew enough. Resisting the urge to roll her eyes at Damon's appearance, Liesel attempted to appear nonchalant as she had to pretend like she didn't know who he was because Damon was still in the dark about Stefan being unable to compel her. As far as Damon knew, Liesel had no memories of him and the night he killed Mr. Tanner, so instead Liesel idly looked out at her nails and let out a bored sigh.

"Which is why tall, dark and creepy shouldn't be here… You're scaring everybody off Caffrey!" Caroline stated with a huff and Liesel allowed herself to let out a bored sigh as being called tall, dark and creepy was nothing new to her.

"Caroline, why don't you go find somewhere else now..." Damon said looking Caroline intently in the eyes and without arguing Caroline left with some odd sort of spring in her step. Liesel took this to be the whole compelling thing Stefan had been telling her about. "So you're a Caffrey, you know they have a long and well respected history here in Mystic Falls… I'm assuming you must be related to Chief Caffrey?"

"He's my father, I'm the youngest of his three children." Liesel said, she knew Damon was testing her by her family's history and mentioning her father but she wasn't going to take the bait. So Liesel just responded to the question about her father and played nice as she couldn't allow Damon to suspect anything as that would ruin the whole plan.

"Liesel, right? I've heard quite a bit about you and I'll admit that I've seen you around town quite a bit and I think your friends with my younger brother Stefan. I'm Damon. Damon Salvatore."

"Oh? Stefan never said that he had a brother, kind of took him to be an only child if I'm being honest." Liesel replied in a cool manner, despite knowing full well who and what Damon was Liesel feigned ignorance as to keep up the pretense that Stefan had compelled her to forget ever meeting Damon and how he killed Mr. Tanner. Damon had caused enough trouble in Mystic Falls already and Liesel could only imagine what he would do if he found out that Liesel was still aware of everything that had happened the night of the football game.

"That's Stefan, always keeping things to himself… But I'm glad that he's managed to make himself a friend as Stefan is dreadfully shy, spends a lot of time by himself and doesn't have the greatest of social skills. You know in a town like Mystic Falls where everyone knows each other it's hard for someone new to come in and make friends but I'm glad that he's found someone similar to him to become friends with." Damon replied with a clearly forced smile and Liesel herself had to smile and grit her teeth at the snide dig Damon had just sent her way, she knew he was a piece of work but going around and trying to not respond to that was pretty hard especially when Damon took to veiled insults.

"Well then you must be pretty proud of Stefan then as he's only been here for a couple weeks and already he's got friends, a girlfriend and on the football team. Pretty impressive for a boy who you say lacks any social skills, don't ya think?"

"Indeed."

"Well this conversation has been rather riveting but if you'll excuse me I'm going to have to move around a bit, if I loiter around an area for two long, Carol Lockwood starts to suspect that I might attempt to steal something so off I must go…" Liesel politely said excusing herself from Damon's company as quick as she could, despite not drinking because of how it affected her abilities Liesel was in desperate for one. She could now see why Stefan didn't get on with Damon beyond him being a murderer with no humanity or regards for anyone but himself. The man was an utter ass and although Liesel barely knew the man, she was glad to be soon rid of him. Despite being told by Stefan and somewhat believing him Liesel was struggling to believe that her great-great-great-great grandfather Holden Caffrey was friends with Damon. Liesel could believe Holden was friends with Stefan as he was nice and friendly once she had given him a chance. But Damon on the other hand? No way… To avoid Damon for a bit longer Liesel decided to go upstairs to where various items that reflected the history of Mystic Falls. So many thing that belonged to her family were on display here in the Lockwood mansion such as her great-great grandma Clara's beautiful lace wedding dress which was a hundred and four years old as she got married in it to Liesel's Great-Great Grandpa Theodore 'Teddy' Caffrey in 1905, in fact Liesel middle name was Clara in honour of her great great grandmother who was said to the backbone of the Caffrey family.

"You seem to have not taken my advice of lightening up Lees as you look as miserable as ever so we thought we'd come upstairs and save you form yourself."

"How noble of you Stefan but I'm not going to miserable and a third wheel… This must be my lucky day." Liesel quipped with a small laugh as she looked over to Stefan and Elena who looked every inch the perfect couple, all bright, shiny and happy as could be. It actually made Liesel feel a little bit sick looking at the two of them but she was just going to have to deal with it as since Stefan was now her friend, she was going to have to find someway to put up with Elena much to her dismay. At least Stefan laughed with her, whilst Elena didn't say anything given that she probably didn't understand Liesel's warped sense of humor.

"You've just got a really beautiful smile Liesel I've just never seen it before. It suits you." Elena said and Liesel immediately felt herself tense up and she couldn't help but look around uncomfortably as receiving a compliment wasn't something she was used to. Liesel was more used to receiving insults so complements made her feel weird and she never knew how to respond to them. It kind of said a lot about the kind of awkward person that Liesel was. She couldn't deal with compliments, often think that they were just lies people were using to butter her up for something, Liesel couldn't look people in the eye for more than two minutes and she had this terribly habit of shuffling her feet when she spoke. She was pretty much the most socially awkward person in Mystic Falls.

"If Liesel could take compliment she would say thank you but seeing as she can't I will do it for her; so thank you Elena. That is very nice of you to say and I have to agree with you, I think Liesel has a very nice smile although she doesn't like letting people see it, she much prefers to have a constant scowl on her face." Stefan said and Liesel just scoffed in amusement as she had to admit, although she wouldn't say this out loud but Stefan had her pretty pegged.

"Hey! You knew I was like this when you decided that you wanted to be my friend, it was you who kept pushing the friend me and not me, so you can't be surprised about my behaviour as I did warn you…" Liesel replied as the three of them walked into one of the many upstairs rooms in the Lockwood mansion that were housing the various items that were being put on display for the heritage party. The three of them walked around the room looking around at the various displays with Liesel paying not too much attention to them. She little cared about the history of Mystic Falls since she discovered that most of it was a lie, made up by the founders council in order to cover up the whole vampires living in town thing.

"The founding families in Mystic Falls welcomes you to the inaugural founder's council celebration… Wow, look, it's the original guest registry. Look at all these familiar names." Elena began as she began reading a framed document off the wall. "Sheriff William Forbes, Mayor Benjamin Lockwood, Fire Chief Archer Caffrey… Is that Damon Salvatore? And, Stefan Salvatore?" Elena read out and Liesel couldn't help but blanche as this wasn't good, this was the furthest thing from good and as she looked at Stefan, his eyes meet hers and Liesel didn't have to be a mind reader to know that the two of them were pretty much thinking the exact same thing.

"The original Salvatore brothers. Our ancestors. Tragic story, actually." Damon said as he walked through the door followed intently by Caroline and Liesel frowned, she wanted to get away from Damon but now she was in the same room as Damon and Caroline, the last two people who she wanted to be stuck in the same room. This night was pretty much hell and it was going from bad to worse.

"We don't need to bore them with stories of the past." Stefan began.

"It's not boring, Stefan. I'd love to hear more about your family." Elena stated and Liesel looked around awkwardly, as this wasn't going well in the slightest. They had barely got past why Damon and Stefan's names were on the original registry of the first founders party and now Elena wanted more information about Stefan's past under the assumption the Stefan Salvatore on the registry was some other Stefan Salvatore who was Stefan's ancestor and not the Stefan who was in the room with them. This whole thing could have probably been avoided if they knew about this registry in the first place but they hadn't and there was no way that they could come up with some fictional back story this quickly. Liesel was a good liar, a rather gifted liar in fact but she couldn't make up an entire life, two in fact on the spot.

"Well, I'm bored. I want to dance and Damon won't dance with me." Caroline complained and Liesel would have hugged Caroline if it wasn't for the fact that she detested the girl. Caroline was a welcome distraction and Liesel took this as a sign for her to go and get things in place as they probably had a very short window of time to get this done. So with a quick glance over at Stefan, Liesel slipped out of the room. Things were getting into place as it was starting to get dark and in the vision that Liesel had earlier when she touched the vial of vervian, she had seen Damon going down after feeding of Caroline in the dark. Hopefully Stefan could distract Caroline long enough for Liesel to do what she needed and after that they would just have to wait and see.

"There you are Lees, I've been looking all over for you! Having fun sweetheart?" George Caffrey asked as he approached his daughter and Liesel forced a smile on her face for her father's sake. She knew that her father couldn't stand the thought of her being unhappy and Liesel tried her hardest to not let her dad see her cracks, to see how broken inside she was as her father's happiness meant everything to Liesel, she put it above her own happiness.

"Bundles."

"Now Lees…"

"Look dad, I came here without too much complaining and I've been on my best behaviour, I haven't insulted anyone loud enough so that they could hear me, I've not said anything to Carol Lockwood when she follows me around to make sure that I'm not trying to ruin this stupid party of hers and I've even smiled when I'm not exactly Mary Sunshine so I'm allowed to be sarcastic when you force me into coming to events like there. I'm here and I'm doing my best so I get to be snarky for a few minutes especially when I'm forced to wear a dress and ridiculous shoes." Liesel quickly said with a frown.

"I know and I really appreciate it Liesel, these things aren't easy for you and it means a lot to mean that you came. You know I saw you earlier with Stefan and the two of you looked like you were having a good time. He's been very good for you." George noted and Liesel wearily nodded her head.

"I've noticed, you know maybe you were right about how having a friend would be good for me but I'm not promising to make anymore dad. So don't expect me to suddenly turn into Jared or Spencer who has countless amount of friends banging down the door because that's not me. I'm happy with the one friend I have." Liesel admitted and the smile on her father's face made Liesel having an actual friend worthwhile. Her dad just wanted her to be happy and her being happy made him happy.

"So you won't be too mad if I tell you that I invited Stefan over for dinner next week…"

"You did what!? Dad why would you do something like that?" Liesel hissed, she could not believe that her dad had gone and done that. She knew that it was a big deal to her dad that she had a friend but he didn't have to go and invite Stefan over for dinner.

"I thought it would be nice for us all to sit down and get to know Stefan better given that you don't let people into your life much given that you hate people Liesel. Jared and I have made sure we won't be working and Spencer is coming home especially for this dinner…" George announced and Liesel could not believe how bad this entire thing was getting, first her father had announced that he had invited Stefan over for dinner which was bad enough but then her brother was coming all way from Ithaca for this dinner. Liesel wanted to crawl into a hole and die, unfortunately she saw Stefan and Caroline make their way to the dance floor. Right now she didn't have time to crawl into a hole and die as she had work to do, Liesel would have to deal with her dad and this dinner later.

"Geez… Dad I've got to go but we'll talk about this later." Liesel said excusing herself and making her way over to the bar and plucked two flutes of champagne from the bar. Thanks to being the girl who everyone in two avoided, no one paid any attention when Liesel opened her bag and pulled out one of the vials of vervain that Stefan had given her earlier and dumped it into one of the champagne glasses. She needed to be careful with these champagne flutes as she needed to remember which flute had the vervain in as if she gave Stefan the wrong one to give to Caroline, it would be him who was drugged with vervain and he could potentially be exposed and Damon would still be allowed to run around town causing mayhem. Putting the vial back into her bag, Liesel picked up the glasses, keeping a careful hold of the vervain spiked flute in her left hand and slowly made her way to the dance floor, getting as close to Stefan as she could without drawing any attention. Liesel watched him with Caroline until he looked up at her and wordlessly Liesel handed over the spiked champagne flute. "One glass of champagne for Caroline Forbes ready…"

"Thanks Liesel, you should get out of here." Stefan warned.

"Seriously? I did half the work, I want to see the results." Liesel demanded in response as there was no way she was going home, Liesel wanted to stay and watch Damon get his comeuppance.

"Fine… Just try and stay out of Damon's way."

"Don't have to tell me twice." Liesel drily replied as she left Stefan to get back to their plan of drugging Caroline although technically they were drugging Damon through Caroline and they weren't drugging Caroline. It was weird and complicated but it was going to work and then it would be hasta la vista Damon time and Mystic Falls would return to it's boring self. Well for the most part… Although Liesel was getting ahead of herself as the plan wouldn't work until Damon had fed off Caroline and so it was all a matter of waiting. Liesel spent the next ten minutes doing what she had been doing for the majority of the party doing; idly walking around until she spotted Elena and Stefan having a small argument on the dance floor. Normally Liesel would strive on this and just let them carry on with that they were doing as she loved nothing more than seeing other people unhappy but she spotted Damon dragging Caroline out into the yard. So Liesel had to interrupt the little lovers spat. "Stefan, it's time…"

"I'm so sorry Elena, I have to go." Stefan wearily said and moments later him and Liesel took their leave. They walked slowly out towards the yard as if Damon spotted them then it would ruin everything. The two fo them found a tree to hide behind, it was big enough to block any possible view Damon had of them although he and Caroline were too busy talking about something to notice that they were being watched. Liesel watched as it all played out exactly how she saw it in her vision in particular the part where Damon bit Caroline and they both fell to the floor. Stefan and Liesel didn't say anything when they made their way over to where Caroline and Damon lay.

"W-What the hell?" Damon murmured as he looked up to Liesel and Stefan.

"Remember me? Because I sure as hell remember you Damon and what you did to Tanner. I also remember you wanting to kill me you ass! " Liesel spat looking over the weak Damon before kicking him in the stomach for good measure. "That was for being a dick and a major pain in the ass for everyone here. I actually have better thing to do then having to deal with you!"

"Y-You and Little Caffrey…" Damon stammered in mild shock.

"We knew we couldn't spike your drink again, so we spiked hers instead." Stefan informed Damon before he fell out of consciousness and Stefan bent down beside Caroline. It was over, Damon's reign of terror was finally over. Liesel couldn't help but let out a small sigh as it was all over and yet she couldn't help but feel the whole thing was sort of anti-climatic.

"I'm going to regret asking this, but is she going to be okay?" Liesel asked sticking her chin out in the direction of Caroline.

"I didn't know you cared Lees…" Stefan wearily joked and Liesel scowled in response..

"Trust me whilst I don't care about Caroline Forbes in the slightest, what Damon was doing to her was wrong and it was hurting her. I may be emotional crippled most of the time but I'm no sociopath. I feel occasionally even if it is pity towards Caroline of all people…"

"She'll be okay for the most part, Damon's probably been compelling so I'll doubt that she'll remember any of this. The bite marks will heal with time and Caroline will go about her everyday routine whatever that is…" Stefan said getting up and moving away from Caroline to pick Damon up and toss him over his shoulders like his brother was a sack of potatoes, it was so effortless.

"So what happens now? You lock Damon away and keep injecting him with vervain for the next couple of days until he's body has desiccated, making him no longer a threat to anybody?" Liesel questioned as she just wanted to double check the plan and make sure that Stefan wasn't having any second thoughts over this because of him being such a good person. No doubt Stefan was probably feeling guilty in someway over what had happened tonight and what he had to do his brother. Liesel didn't really understand, she saw no point in feeling guilty over anything as it was such a waste of time.

"That's the plan."

"You did the right thing Stefan, you know that right? I know it's probably not much coming from me of all people and my law view of right and wrong but you did do the right thing here. By doing this you weren't just saving Caroline from Damon but you were saving all of us. I know he's your brother and knowing you and your morality and compassion Stefan you will no doubt be beating yourself up about this. Damon may be your brother but you did the right thing Stefan, I want you to know that. He needed to be stopped, Damon running around town was just going to make everything worse then it already was and trouble was probably going to follow him if we hadn't of stopped him. Sometimes doing the right thing doesn't feel good but I guess you could call this a necessary evil." Liesel said, sounding a bit too caring for her liking as the last thing she wanted Stefan to think was that she was going soft but she knew that Stefan needed to hear that. He needed to hear why he was justified in doing this.

"Thank you." Stefan replied managing a smile.

"My pleasure, it's nice not to be the big bad villain in Mystic Falls for once but if you really want to thank me for all my help then you can thank me by not coming to this dinner my dad's invited you to which I've just found out about…"

"Not a chance Lees." Stefan chuckled and Liesel blanched, she knew that it was a long shot and Stefan wouldn't have caved in so easily but she would keep trying.

"Whatever… I'll come over to the boarding house in a couple of days and check in, see how things are going."

"See you then."
