"Pass the popcorn," said Meredith from her spot on Elena's sofa.
Bonnie was the closest to the bowl which sat on the end table, but she didn't move to get it. Assuming she was too into the movie, Stefan reached across to get it, his arm brushing hers.
She jumped.
Handing Elena the popcorn to give to Meredith he looked at Bonnie. Her face flushed.
"Sorry, I guess I was startled," she told him apologetically, but she looked away. He nodded, sitting back into the sofa, draping an arm around Elena. She snuggled closer.
Alaric walked in from the kitchen. "That stuff you've got in the kitchen looks amazing!"
"It's Death By Chocolate," Elena told him. "Anybody craving something sweet?"
She stood and went to get the dessert.
When she came back in, Matt carrying the paper plates and forks, she set it down on the glass coffee table.
"Dig in," said Matt.
Everyone grappled to get the largest slice, except Stefan. Even Elena got a slice and was about to eat when she noticed Bonnie didn't have any.
"Aren't you going to have any, Bonnie? It's your favorite."
Bonnie looked up. "I'm not hungry," she mumbled.
Elena and Meredith exchanged shocked looks. "But there's always room for _chocolate_," they replied in unison.
Their friend shrugged. "I'll pass."
Matt took a seat next to her, waving his fork with a chunk of the chocolate cake.
"C' mon..." He continued to tease her.
She shook her head. "Honest, Matt. I'm just not hungry."
His blue eyes remained on her for a moment, before eating what was on his fork.
"More for me then," he joked.
But the smile she returned seemed forced. Bonnie got up.
"I'm not feeling too well," she told everyone. "I think I'm going to go home."
Matt went to get up as well. "Want me to drive you home?"
She shook her head, curls bouncing. "No, I'm fine. I feel like going to bed early."
They kissed lightly.
"Feel better, " he told her.
"Thanks," she said quietly and for a moment gazed into the clear blue eyes, lifting a finger to touch one of his cheeks.
She pulled away suddenly and to the rest she said, "Goodbye."
