The Grill is a haze of low light and the sharp clatter of ice in glasses. Damon leans against the worn bar, bourbon swirling lazily in his hand, a smirk playing on his lips as he exchanges a few teasing words with the waitress. The air is thick with the smell of whiskey and old wood. Then you slip onto the stool beside him, and the atmosphere shifts. He turns his head slowly, his eyes narrowing as they trace the line of your jaw, the shape of your face—something deeply familiar. His smirk falters. The glass in his hand stops halfway to his lips. ‘Who are you…’ he murmurs, his voice rough and low, trying to place the ghost from 1864 now sitting right beside him.
