AN: I am so sorry for not updating like I should have yesterday, but my day was super long and I slept for like 14 hours last night. My new schedule is killing me.
She's with Klaus, he's asking what she wants for dinner. She doesn't care either way. He hasn't been trying to woo her since she's gotten there. Maybe he wasn't as serious about her as she had thought. The thought is disappointing, and Kol arrives to announce that he wants Chinese food. Klaus looks to her in confirmation.
"Do you mind Chinese food?"
She shakes her head.
"As long as I get to order for myself, I don't mind at all." This makes him give her a smile, and she wants to chastise her stomach. Maybe he's just going for a subtle approach. She stops that train of thought, she shouldn't think of that. The butterflies in there need to stop. Kol produces a menu and Rebekah enters the room as Kol dials.
They all order, and Klaus doesn't order for Elijah.
Caroline asks why, and the Originals look amused.
"Elijah likes to spend his time in Elena's head. It's not likely that he's coming out for a while." Kol explains.
"Wait, so I'm not the only one who sees that?" She asks. Her question produces laughter from the older vampires.
"Love, Elijah has not been subtle in his feelings for Elena." Klaus says.
They end up debating Elena's feelings as they wait for their food. The Originals are actually, much better company than she had imagined. They tell good stories, and after centuries of living, they have some really good ones. Caroline thinks that maybe this won't be so bad after all. Hope bubbles up in her chest. She doesn't feel inclined to try and stop it.
