~ Shards of Sapphire ~
There was a loud, horrible tearing sound.
This was followed shortly by a cry of "bitch" which seemed to particularly offend the werewolf, who jumped back out the broken window with a thick strip of black fabric still caught between her fangs.
Damon turned to Rose and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. This jacket is toast, though," she replied, shrugging off the remains of what had once been her favorite leather jacket, which was now missing half its collar and a large chunk of the shoulder and sleeve.
Damon insisted on checking her for injuries anyway, and Rose did not protest the panicked sweep of his fingers over the exposed skin of her arms and shoulders, until he was satisfied in the knowledge that she had not been bitten. Relieved, he pulled her into his lap and held her close.
"I'm glad you're okay," he said, and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.
"Yeah, me too, " she replied, snuggling against him. "I'm gonna miss that jacket, though."
"I'll buy you a new one."

A/N: Now picture Jules in the forest whining and shaking her head, trying to get the leather unstuck from her fangs. XD
