Caroline had arrived home while Josie was in the midst of baking brownies. She'd offered her daughter a smile and then hurried upstairs to ger ready for their night in together. Caroline knew how lucky she was to have daughters who still enjoyed spending time with her. Most teenagers were perfectly happy living their own lives or attempting to, but Josie and Lizzie were different. They happily included Caroline in their lives and wanted to spend time with her. Caroline would never turn down such an opportunity.
Once upstairs, the blond stripped of her work clothes and took a quick shower. Afterwards, she quickly dried her hair and tugged on her own pajamas, complete with a fluffy rob and slippers. Sure, Caroline enjoyed socializing with large groups of people, but she also enjoyed just staying in and watching movie with her daughters or Stefan. After such a busy day, she was looking forward to cuddling on the couch with her daughter and eating brownies.
Padding down the stairs, Caroline spotted Josie on the couch already. Not surprising, her daughter's nose was in the book. Smiling to herself, the vampire made her way over to the couch and claimed a seat next to her daughter.
"What are you reading?" Caroline asked. She saw from the cover it was a romance novel, but she was curious as to what the story was.
