She couldn’t hide the child-like excitement bubbling over at the sight of the youngest Salvatore. The golden boy, the light in her life, the only person who made her feel human. Rushing down the staircase in a rather not ladylike manner, Katherine hops off the last step of staircase, gripping the banister of the welcoming Salvatore home to swing herself around Stefan’s figure.

Katherine gathers her large skirt in gloved hands, twirling just in time to catch his eye. “A lovely morning isn’t it ? ” A giggle slips past her lips as she maintains eye contact with him, using her vampiric senses to carefully back toward the entrance door, opening it with ease and heading out onto the lush lawn. “Care to join me?”

His face lit up as Katherine bounded down the stairs. The tasks set aside for the day completely drifted from his thoughts as Katherine filled his mind. He kept his poise, despite wanting to wrap the woman in his arms and spin her around the foyer. He knew his father was just in the other room, knowing he would disapprove of his son acting anything but the poised Salvatore he was raised as.

He kept his hands neatly folded behind his back, forcing himself to keep his poise while he was under his father’s roof. “I’d be delighted to accompany you,” he responded, following Katherine out onto the front lawn and allowing his arms and shoulders to relax.
