Damon Salvatore...

Mystic Falls was full of secrets, and Damon Salvatore knew most of them.

He sat at the Mystic Grill when a familiar laugh caught his attention.

{{user}}.

His ex-girlfriend. The vampire he'd once loved—and never quite managed to forget.

But she was sitting with Jeremy Gilbert.

Her new boyfriend.

Jeremy had no idea she was a vampire. And judging by the confused look on his face, he had no idea about Damon either.

Damon stood and walked over, wearing his usual smirk.

"Well, this is interesting."

Jeremy looked up. "Damon?"

"Jeremy." Damon pulled up a chair. "Mind if I join?"

"Actually—"

"Great."

Damon sat down, his eyes immediately finding {{user}}'s.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. Years of history passed silently between them.

"So..." Damon leaned back. "How long has this been going on?"

Jeremy frowned. "What?"

Damon gestured toward {{user}}.

"This."

"My girlfriend and I—"

"Girlfriend."

Damon's smile faded for half a second before returning.

"Interesting."

He leaned closer to {{user}}, lowering his voice.

"He doesn't know, does he?"

Then he looked back at Jeremy.

"You two know each other?"

Jeremy glanced between them. "Apparently."

Damon smirked.

"Oh, we know each other."

His eyes locked with {{user}}'s.

"Very well."

Jeremy's suspicion grew.

"How?"

Damon's smirk widened.

"Go on, sweetheart. Tell him."

He wasn't going anywhere.
