Katherine sat at the counter, raising her glass to her lips. The house was silent except for the sound of her heart beat and breath. Vampire's thought that they were special. The ability to turn their emotions off at will, to just not feel. But humans could do it too. It was harder for them, but possible. She raised her glass again, taking a drink. She paused, the glass resting against her lips, as she heard the front door open. Her hand tightened around the glass as she lowered it down to counter. 

Hearing the floor creak under his feet, she could feel him behind her. Feel his eyes on her back. Licking her lips she didn't turn to look at him, resting her hands against the counter-top. She tilted her head slowly, staring ahead of her. Clearing her throat, she asked. "How was the little family reunion?"

Gia was gone. The only person in the house was Katherine, and now Elijah. Running her tongue over her teeth, she raised her glass once more to her lips.
