( she's not entirely sure she believes the "not once", but caroline lets it slide. she's not that petty anymore. )
Fourteen years is a long time.
( it's only been a few, in her experience, and she's already grown so much. learned so much. suffered, too. she's loved and lost and hurt and felt so much happiness she thought she'd die all over again from it โ and yet, even now, she's all too aware she'll someday have more to experience.
hope had told her as much, and then caroline had asked her not to continue. not to spoil her, as if her own life was a movie. klaus had held his tongue as well, though caroline had never had to ask him. maybe hope did for her.
but now? now she thinks she might want to know. )
There's something I wanted to ask you. Before you came back here, Hope and I were talking about things we remembered, trying to piece out the differences between her Mystic Falls and mine. She was going to tell me something about myself, but I asked her not to. I didn't want to know. Honestly, I think part of me was afraid she was going to tell me I wound up married to Matt and bored out of my mind.
( He knows she wouldn't "want" a hook-up after the forest, and if this were fourteen years later? It would be the last thing on either of their minds. Besides, Klaus is personally embroiled in someone else - as confounding as that is. But, it's as slow moving as it usually is, so at least that keeps him sane. Don't admit it to yourself or someone else. Just keep looking forward. Be sweet to them. Hurt them a little personally. Repeat. )
If you truly wish me to, I can tell you. I will say you did not marry the Quarterback.

I was hoping you might be able to tell me now.
