   Summary

   My enemy envelopes me in his arms without hesitation, cradling the back of my head.

   “I’m only eighteen.” I mourn for the child I should be and everyone else seems happy to forget. He tightens his hold, resting his chin on my head.

   “I know.” Klaus whispers somberly, like it’s something he never forgot.

   OR When Stefan leaves Elena on the bridge, she calls Klaus to pick her up. It's the best decision she's ever made.
