¡°I doubt he would remember. It's been what¡a thousand years since I knew them.¡± Tatia knew her tone might leave room for doubt but there was little that could be done about it with all of this being so new. Of course, she wanted to believe the Niklaus she had known would never harm her. But with how things had gone in those woods with his brother doing the unthinkable it was hard to believe things would play out any differently in these strange times.?

Convincing herself of having been long forgotten seemed the best solution given the alternative was endless worrying about how things might play out should they cross paths. ¡°I should be okay.¡± She added rather unconvincingly.

¡°Why don't we grab some ice cream¡.then go sit outside and talk?¡± Bonnie thought it something they could all use right about now since between the three of them it was a toss up as to whose luck was worse in the relationship department. Though in the category of ¡®worst breakup ever¡¯ Tatia was hands down the winner since her ex actually killed her.

Without waiting for a response she began collecting spoons and bowls which were then carefully placed on the counter. ¡°Always seems to help with most problems.¡± Stopping short of suggesting cheesecake as it felt a little too ¡®Golden Girls¡¯.?

¡°That actually sounds¡really good.¡± Elena decided the focus needed to be on helping her ancestor first given the news of an ex with whom that sort of history was shared would be swinging by for a visit had to rattle her. She walked over grabbing the ice cream from the freezer while her friend dug through the drawer until the scoop was found.

¡°Caroline insisted on doing that too.¡± Tatia remembered feeling oddly more at ease afterwards something she attributed more to time spent talking things over though the ice cream had proven quite delicious.

¡°That sounds like her.¡± Bonnie replied with a slight pause having thought about shooting the blonde a quick text to see if she cared to join them. No doubt she was otherwise occupied as her focus as of late was primarily on the girls and this school. She finished dishing out the ice cream then put the remainder away before handing each doppelg?nger a bowl.

Quickly grabbing her own from the counter she led the way outside to the wicker chairs placed on what passed for a porch. A bit relieved when it hadn't taken long for them to move beyond awkward small talk and begin talking about what was bothering them.
