Who: Caroline and Stefan What: Reuniting Where: His apartment and then a coffee shop When: Backdated to around his arrival Status: Closed; Incomplete
Oh, to say Caroline was nervous was the understatement of century. Stefan was in Madison Valley. Actually here. When she took that final phone call from her husband, Caroline believed that would be the last time she'd ever hear his voice, but Madison Valley had proved her wrong. She'd been a wife and a widow nearly in the same day. As much as it hurt, Caroline understood what Stefan had to do that day and why he had to do it. He was protecting all of them and he died saving their lives. Oh, she was so proud of him and even more in love with him because of it, but it still stung. She still cried over him and missed him. Besides being the love of her life, he was also her best friend.
And now he was here and Caroline was happy, but also very conflicted given what she knew about them back home. From the network, she couldn't pick up what his place in the timeline was, but if it was near his death then...
Well, things would be complicated for the blond vampire because she was seeing someone here. However, right now, she was just trying to focus on meeting up with Stefan and being able to actually hug him again.
Using her fantastic sense of smell, Caroline located the apartment he was in and knocked on the door. She was tempted just to rip it open with her vampire strength, but she'd waited this long to possibly see him again, so a few more minutes? Caroline could handle it.
