Hayley wasn't normally so sappy, either. Honestly, Damon probably had that going more than either of them, but it still made her so very happy to just...be here. Have someone who cared about her. Have a place. It was stunningly like how she'd always thought a home might be--or a family, though her mind skittered away from that.

"Sounds good. I'm still kinda starving." Which she'd said, yes, but she felt the need to stress it. If only to pull back from the sap.

"Oh, you want to hurry?" Damon arched an eyebrow at her, after giving Ric a little smile. "I'd say I'd race you to the car, but that doesn't seem fair to Ric."
