She'd been running a bit behind schedule though not quite as behind as her sister usually was. And it was unusual enough that Elena was just a bit unnerved by the fact that she was running late. At the sound of the doorbell, she rushed downstairs with a soft curse and answered the door in a simple black dress, barefoot but smiling at the sight of Klaus waiting with flowers.
"Hi," she greeted. "Do you want to come in for a minute? I just need to get shoes and grab a purse." But she wouldn't make him wait outside either.
