He decided to take a break from all the craziness and headed to the Mystic Falls Grill with her. They grabbed a couple of drinks and just hung out, enjoying each other's company. The atmosphere was super relaxed, with the soft clink of glasses and low murmur of conversation creating a comforting backdrop. The scent of burgers and fries filled the air as they sat in their usual corner booth, the one with the view of the street outside. Streetlights flickered on as twilight settled over Mystic Falls, casting a warm glow through the windows. He traced the condensation on his glass, watching the way the light caught her profile.

In the back of his mind, Jeremy couldn't help but think about the vampire he'd staked last night, and how different this peaceful moment was from his other life.
