-Caroline and Kol tell their story from their point of views to a journalist. If you have read Daisy Jones and the Six, then you know the style.-

Caroline: „I was crying, I was inconsolable or that's what I thought. I was at the cemetery. Josie had died three days ago. They were together now at least, I thought. But I would never join, if I didn't do anything myself. So I picked up a tree branch, made it into a stake and held it up in the air, ready to plunge it into my heart, when somebody stopped me, grabbed the stake and threw it far away, and then grabbed my by upper arms. I looked up and saw that it was Kol Mikaelson of all people. Actually there weren't a lot of people left, so it wasn't such a big surprise for me."

KOL: "Besides, we had kept in touch. And by keeping in touch, I mean we sometimes had comfort sex. We knew about most of the important happenings in each other lives."

CAROLINE: "And sometimes we both needed some comforting. But I hadn't called him about Josie yet."

KOL: "You were never going to if you tried to off you yourself, Caroline"

CAROLINE laughed: "True."

"So what happened next?"

CAROLINE: "I cried and he pulled me in his embrace."

KOL: "I asked her why she hadn't called me, I would have come right away."

CAROLINE: "I didn't want to bother him, he had a new girlfriend currently, last I checked."

KOL (turns towards Caroline): "How did you know?"

CAROLINE: "I had spies everywhere. Just little something I picked up from Klaus."

"Klaus, right, the brother, you had been in love with in the past?"

CAROLINE: "Right. There was a long silence, then-"

KOL: "Then I asked about her current boyfriend Morgan Dean. She said, "What about him, I left him just before Josie, I didn't want-".

CAROLINE: "You joked about me not wanting comfort sex when I let him go to Canada for work."

KOL: Then I said something along the lines, "Too bad, I think comfort sex is exactly what you need right now."

And she asked if I was offering. Of course I was, she never needed to ask something like that.

CAROLINE: "Then I asked about Rosalie, his current girlfriend. He decided to play dumb and said, "What about her?" I thought he was in love with her."

KOL: "I wasn't, I was so smitten with Caroline, it was impossible to fall for someone else."

(Caroline and Kol lean in that moment and kiss one another. Breaking apart, Kol keeps his forehead against her. They share a moment, before continuing their story.)

KOL: Besides, I'm a Mikaelson, family means a lot to me.

CAROLINE: "I told him that he wasn't my family and I was not his responsibility."

KOL: "Obviously, I disagreed."

CAROLINE: "I told him we couldn't continue doing this every time either one loses someone."

KOL: She meant we couldn't comfort each other by having sex. Obviously, I disagreed again. Because I told her sarcastically that it was better to off yourself. I was just so angry with her. She was about to leave me alone and I barely got there in time.

CAROLINE: "Kol-"

Kol took her hand and said, "It's okay sweetheart, water under the bridge now."

CAROLINE: "I got upset with him and whined that I had no one left and he said, "And whose fault Is that?" He was right, it was mine."

KOL: "It was, but I totally worded it wrongly. Nothing was wrong with her, only that she herself had closed herself off to the world.

Caroline smiled in surprise, "That's what you meant?"

KOL: "Of course. Like I would ever tell you that there was something wrong with you that people didn't want to get close to you."

(Caroline looks completely surprised, seems she didn't know what he had meant with those word until this day.)

CAROLINE: But I got so upset because I thought that he had hinted the fault at being in me, not in my behaviour.

KOL: So we got physical from there on. Caroline first wanted to beat me, but I was faster, I grabbed her wrists and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. She responded nicely and from there on I flashed us to the bedroom.

"So, you had comfort sex again, what happened next morning?"

KOL: "That wasn't the end of it. That night something important happened that really put us through a ringer."

"What happened in the bedroom then?"

(Caroline palms her face and I had to admit I was very intrigued. Kol simply put a hand around her and pulled her close as he continued to say something I didn't believe at first at all. I thought they were having a laugh at my expense)

KOL: "In the middle of the most important part of sex she called out his name, not mine."

CAROLINE: -

KOL: "She didn't even notice it. I was shocked, part of me wanted to run for the hills, but another part saw how much I probably just reminded her of him. It was clear she hadn't gotten over him, but I stayed and didn't tell her anything about that slip up.

"Wow!" Was All I could say. A man willing to be that selfless in the hopes that the girl would one day see him for himself.

KOL: I didn't just stay for the night, I stayed for many nights to come and the slip ups happened again. It was my make it or break it moment. I grew frustrated with her, moody, sometimes I was very rough with her in bed.

CAROLINE: I had no idea what I was doing to him. I thought our sex life was incredible. But I did miss Klaus a lot at the time. Less and less, as we got closer but probably not fast enough.

KOL: "Because one day I blurted it out and she denied it to my face. Said I had made It up. So I let go and I made a recording of that moment. Next morning she sat on the bed like I had just given her a huge beating. She started packing my stuff, we hadn't moved in together, but there were a lot of stuff at her place.

CAROLINE: "I told him that I was so ashamed and nothing could fix that. It was just a clear evidence that I would never get over Klaus or so I thought."

KOL: But I should have told her right away because she suggested to stop having sex for a while and just get to know one another better out of bed.

CAROLINE: And it worked, I learned so much about him, about how much he really wasn't that much like Klaus at all.

KOL: "And no calling me by my brother's name ever again."

CAROLINE: "We fell in love for real."

KOL: "Yes we did."

"So that was the happy ending. Now you two have made it to the cover of our magazine where you will be completely anonymous. I'll change the names and everything. But it's important for people to read stories like that."

CAROLINE: Thank you, Roger, for hearing us out today, but we really need to go get Dakota from the school now.

(Dakota is their adopted daughter. Kol and Caroline stood up and we shook hands and hand in hand they left me alone in the restaurant. The way they were together suggested that they were very close now. When one moved, so did the other one. Like magnets.)
