Caroline Forbes-Salvatore and Stan Baker
If anyone had asked Caroline who she would be sitting next to when the fireworks started, the last person she would have answered with was the one who just claimed the empty seat beside her. She looked over at him, careful to conceal the surprise she felt, as he settled on the grass beside her. Well, Stan was unexpected. He didn’t come off as the firework-enjoying type, but then again, her meeting with him at Verdant had surprised her too. He had actually been okay to talk to and they even ended on a somewhat pleasant note. Maybe there was more to him than just the vampire that didn’t enjoy munching on soccer moms.
“Because a spot next to me is that coveted? Don’t worry, you won’t have to fight anyone for it,” Caroline replied, unable to help, but smile just a bit. “No offense, but you were the last person I expected to see here tonight. You don’t strike me as the firework type.”
