I was involved with Jessica's maker for a while. [ she fiddles with the blue band on her wrist, semi-hidden by the purple lace she has wrapped around it. the band ties her to the one vampire she knows bill would rather her not be bound to, especially not in that way. ] You're around people who think far too loudly all your life and you meet someone whose mind is completely silent, and you sort of just... jump in head first without really thinkin' about what you're doin', because it's so nice to not listen in on someone's thoughts for once.
[ a beat, and then in case caroline doesn't know: ] I'm telepathic. Probably should've said that first.
Really? That's so great. I mean, she never really got to-- [ waves it off. ] Not my story to tell, but I'm glad she's gettin' the opportunity to do something normal for once and just be a girl. Do girl things. Normal teenage girl things.
