Katherine felt the slight tension in his body and wondered if she'd done the right thing or if she was pushing him a little too far too fast. All this must be overwhelming for him. She, on the other hand, was used to adapting to new situations. Still, even with her coping methods, this place confused her.
Katherine looked up at him when he spoke, slowing down so she could focus on his face. Her smile became far more genuine very quickly. She knew there was a reason she loved Damon, and this was it. He was so sweet and loving. "Thank you, Damon," she replied, her melodic voice soft and warm. "You look very handsome yourself." She gave his hand a little squeeze.
