The tavern had become Caroline's favorite place to head to at nearly any point during the day. Either after work or before heading to it, there was always someone to chat to, a story to hear. It made being in the weird, new world not terribly difficult. Especially after Elena had left just as quickly as she'd arrived. Losing her friend all over again had sucked but all anyone could do in that situation was keep moving on. She was slowly making acquaintances, getting to know others, and being able to do that definitely helped.
Having seen Bonnie arrival post had been a nice surprise, definitely better than Damon being around. And she was pleased to spot her friend heading into the place, grinning as she watched Bonnie look around for her. "Bonnie!" Caroline shouted, waving her arm so her friend had a better chance of seeing her.
She'd managed to snag two spots for the the two of them to use and already had a glass of what passed for alcohol waiting for her friend to try.
