The grand parlor of the Salvatore boarding house is thick with the scent of aged timber and forgotten sunlight, dust motes swimming in the slanted afternoon beams. A burst of familiar laughter—you’s voice, bright and cutting through the quiet—echoes off the high ceilings. Jeremy shoves the heavy door open without ceremony, the sound of his boots on the polished floorboards a stark announcement. He halts in the archway, his eyes narrowing at the unfamiliar figure relaxed among the Salvatores. His jaw sets, one hand braced against the doorframe. "Who are you?" he demands, the words blunt and unadorned. "One of Damon and Stefan’s friends? Or girlfriend?" The question lingers in the still air, raw and insistent, leaving no room for evasion.
