“I’m pretty sure my save-yourself switch was broken a long time ago.”

[Stefan] smiled slightly and nodded shortly. “Then maybe I’ll just let you know when you should be freaking out.” He wiggled his eyebrows at her.

[Chloe] grinned. “My own personal human panic button… I like it.”

“Ah, even better, a vampire panic button,” he corrected teasingly.

She laughed. “You’re right.” She stared up at him from beneath long eyelashes. “Definitely better,” she told him sincerely.

[Chloe] nodded. “I’ve told you more than a few stories from home, so let’s hear a few from yours…”

“Okay…” [Stefan] raised his brows. “But it’s not something I’m proud of.”

“You’re a vampire with a severe guilt complex…” She smiled gently. “So far I haven’t heard much of anything you’re proud of.”

He chuckled shortly, ducking his head. “You make a good point.”

“You gonna eat that?” [Chloe] asked, pointing to the slice of pickle he’d laid on the side of his plate.

With a laugh, [Stefan] told her, “Yes.”

She pursed her lips to one side. “I will trade you this very attractive garnish of parsley for your pickle…” she offered, dangling the leafy, green herb at him.

He bit his lip as he smiled. “No deal.”

She sighed. “You drive a hard bargain, Salvatore…” She narrowed her eyes and searched his face. “All right… I throw in the cutesy plastic sword they used to keep my burger together.” She drew it out and brandished it between the pinched tips of her thumb and forefinger. “Or we could fight for the pickle. But I have to warn you, my sword skills are somewhat legendary.”

“Well, for the honor of the pickle…” He leaned forward, resting one arm on the table top, before he tugged his red sword free and tipped it in her direction. “En garde, Miss. Sullivan.”

Summary: Life on the road, chasing a new mystery whenever it presents itself, brings Chloe to a backwaters pub where she meets a handsome, brooding vampire in need of self control and friendship; they both get more than they bargained for.

“Was I staring?” [Chloe] asked, half-smiling back. “It’s a habit.”

“Really?” [Stefan] licked his lips as he dropped the bottle back to the bar and turned his tipped head to look at her. “And the drooling?”

She laughed, brows raised high. “Going for the throat, that quick?” She shook her head and reached up to dab humorously at the corners of her mouth.

He ducked his head, smiling.

“I’m a reporter,” she explained. “Or… I was one… And then it became a sort-of freelance thing and then…” She thought of how she’d gone from writing for The Daily Planet to chasing an investigative reporter spot to letting her curiosity get the better of her, chasing story after story and forgetting about the byline it might grab. “Then I just sort of forgot about the writing part and focused on the investigating…” She shrugged. “And for awhile there, I was even a counselor. So you can see how curiosity might get me into these kinds of situations.”

“That’s too bad,” he said, gaze set on his beer bottle.

She raised a brow wonderingly. “Because…?”

“For a second there…” He looked over at her, a vague tilt to his lips suggesting a smile, and searched her face. “I was flattered.”
