Elena wasn't sure what she'd been expecting, but the voice coming from the side of the house completely caught her off guard. She turned to look between the wooden posts holding the overhang on the porch and saw him sitting on the stump of a tree. He'd been so still when she first arrived that she hadn't noticed him there. Funny, she was normally much more observant. Maybe it'd come with her vampire senses, but usually she was more aware of the living beings in her general vicinity.
"Hey," she called back to him as she leaned against the pole on the edge of the porch. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"
