Let the moment go… Don't forget it for a moment, though

Hope.

[She gives her daughter a small, amused look.]

The Abattoir is still your house. You have a room there and everything. We're not going to kick you out just because you graduated.

[havethings]

I didn't think you would kick me out. New Orleans will always be my home. I think, with the Salvatore School and -- the months I spent not existing... sometimes, it's hard to believe that I do have one. I have you and dad. And Josie.

I'm really lucky, mom. And, if I never said it, thank you. Thank you for everything.

[werewolfqueen]

Of course.

[She slides her arms around Hope's shoulders and pulls her in closer.]

You always have a place with us. Nothing will change that, not even Malivore.

[havethings]

It did. For a few months, it did. I don't think I ever apologized to you for doing that. I just -- collapsed into yours and Freya's arms.

[Hayley's not going to lie and say it didn't hurt. It hurt that she forgot her daughter, that she fell back on old habits that she had set aside when she had her.

But she remembers her now. That's what matters.]

You were trying to save the world. You were braver than I've ever been. I was proud of you then and I still am now.

[havethings]

And I'm proud of you, too. I'm -- kind of proud of dad. But... don't tell him. I love you, mom.

( Mother daughter hugs! )

[werewolfqueen]

I love you too.

[She holds her tight, before releasing her and nudging her back to the party.]

Now go. Have fun with your friends.

[havethings]

I heard that's what kids are supposed to do.

( But, she's not a kid anymore, is she. Bye now! )
