What she doesn't know, however, is how to ask him what he wants - if this is back to friendship, or she wasn't mistaking things and there was something else there.]

Maybe, when you have a chance, you could come down to New Orleans. I'll give you a tour.

[And maybe talking about this in person, when she can read his chemosignals and listen to his heartbeat and yes that may be cheating, but she's a werewolf. That's how she best knows how to read someone's intent.]

After Mystic Falls. I have some frequent flyer miles I was going to use to see Scott in LA, but, Mystic Falls detoured us all.

Text me the flight details and I'll come pick you up.
