"What's this?" Katherine asked, frowning as she grabbed Damon by the wrist.
He glanced down at his captured hand, nonplussed. There wasn't anything unusual about it, except-
"What? My wedding band?"
"Since when are you married?" After a pause, during which she let go of his arm and he moved away from her, she added, "And who the hell did you marry?"
"Summer of '82," Damon answered offhandedly. "She was a stranger I hooked up with in Vegas. I still have no idea what her name even is. I just call her Sunspot Baby."
"Like the Bob Seger song?"
"Seems appropriate, especially since she did run off with my credit card. And she's still using it."
"... don't those things expire after like four years?"
"Yeah... we meet up every four or five years, bang, and she swipes the new card and leaves while I'm sleeping."
"So, let me get this straight: you give her unlimited access to your money and you've only slept with her... less than a dozen times in the past three and a half decades? That's pathetic, Damon."
"Still a better love story than Twilight."
