How badly she wanted to cry right now. She wanted to cry for the hurt she caused Katherine and Damon, but she couldn't She was here for Katherine, she would not take the focus off her. "I wont let you be that person, not anymore. Not when you've worked so hard..."
She reached over Katherine to retrieve the bourbon on the nightstand and handed it to the woman. "Drink. Drink and say whatever you need to say to me. I wont hold anything against you. I promise."
