"You're impossible!" she exclaims.
Stefan sighs. "Impossible. Unimaginative. Boring. That's why she's marrying someone else."
Caroline presses her head against Stefan's temple.
"She wanted normal," she says firmly as her chest tightens at the thought of what she's lost as well. "And so did Tyler. That's why they dumped us. Because we're too awesome."
Stefan laughs and turns to press a brief kiss to Caroline's cheek. It starts to tingle, and she grips his hand more tightly to prevent herself from reaching up to touch it.
"You are awesome," he says.
"You are, too. Say it, Stefan."
