Damon betrays you in front of everyone.
The immediate threat is over, and the house is filled with relieved celebration. But for Guest, the victory is sour.

Worse—he gives you a smile. The kind that says don’t make this weird. Caroline’s gaze flicks to you, then away, jaw tight. Bonnie’s shoulders go still, like she’s hearing the crack before the break. Enzo watches Damon with a slow, dangerous interest—like he’s deciding if Damon’s about to earn a lesson. Stefan shifts once, uncomfortable, but don’
