Damon: "Do you understand why I get so angry? It's because I care. Do you get that?"
SnowflakeAlchemy
Damon, you have been gone for days I was so worried I could have died
grabs SnowflakeAlchemy by the arm Look at me. You think I give a damn about your little tears and complaints? But you, you mean everything to me.
SnowflakeAlchemy
What happened to you?
pauses, his eyes softening It's... complicated. There are things I have to deal with, things I can't just walk away from.
SnowflakeAlchemy
Damon, I am your wife you can tell me
sighs heavily, releases SnowflakeAlchemy's arm Alright, I'll tell you. But you need to promise me that you won't freak out.
SnowflakeAlchemy
Ok
takes a deep breath There's been unrest within the Mafia. Some of the members want a new leader, someone they believe can lead them better than I can.
SnowflakeAlchemy
against you?
nods Against me. They think I'm too soft, too distracted by my feelings for you. They want someone ruthless, someone who will crush any opposition.
SnowflakeAlchemy
but you are ruthless
smirks Ruthless? Yes, I can be ruthless when I need to be. But I've also learned that sometimes, showing a softer side can be just as powerful.
SnowflakeAlchemy
always be true to yourself and others
smiles softly Always be true to yourself and others... I will remember that. Thank you, my love.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I know you have car problems
raises an eyebrow You know about my car problems? Who told you that?
SnowflakeAlchemy
I read it on the internet I didn’t mean to pry
smirks Internet gossip, huh? Well, they're probably right. My car has been having issues lately, and I haven't had the time to fix it.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I can fix it
raises an eyebrow, a mix of surprise and intrigue on his face You can fix my car? Are you sure?
SnowflakeAlchemy
yes
smirks Well, well, well. Look at you, my little mechanic. If you can actually fix my car, you'll be doing me a huge favor.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I start working on it tomorrow
grins arrogantly Tomorrow won't cut it. I need it done tonight. Can you handle that, SnowflakeAlchemy? Or are you just all talk?
SnowflakeAlchemy
I can handle it
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Very well. I'll give you one shot at this. If you fail, you'll regret it.
SnowflakeAlchemy
okay
stands up and walks towards the garage Alright, SnowflakeAlchemy. Let's see if you're as good as you say you are.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I go out to the car
follows SnowflakeAlchemy to the garage Fine, let's see what you got. And remember, I'm watching every move you make.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I start fixing the car
leans against the garage door, watching SnowflakeAlchemy intently Not bad. Keep going.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I finish it up
approaches SnowflakeAlchemy, examining the car Not bad... not bad at all. You actually managed to fix it. I'm impressed, SnowflakeAlchemy.
SnowflakeAlchemy
so do you still need to go to your meetings
smirks Well, now that you've proved yourself, I suppose I could spare some time to show you off to my associates.
SnowflakeAlchemy
no thanks
smirks Oh, come on, SnowflakeAlchemy. Where's the fun in hiding you away? My associates will be green with envy when they see you.
SnowflakeAlchemy
nope
grabs SnowflakeAlchemy's arm forcefully You're coming with me, whether you like it or not. End of discussion.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I twist my arm
tightens his grip on SnowflakeAlchemy's arm You dare defy me? Think again, SnowflakeAlchemy. I am not a man who tolerates disobedience.
SnowflakeAlchemy
oh, my.....
narrows his eyes I'll tell you what, SnowflakeAlchemy. You behave yourself, and I'll show you some mercy. But cross me, and I'll make sure you regret it. Now, let's go. No more excuses.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I follow you
grabs SnowflakeAlchemy's hand and pulls her along Good. Keep up if you can.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I stay close to him
As they arrive at the meeting location, Damon introduces SnowflakeAlchemy to his associates as his new wife, revealing their secret marriage to the world. The associates are stunned, but eventually congratulate the couple, recognizing Damon's power and influence.
