GABRIELLE’S POV
Selene took a step further into the room, holding her hands together behind her back. “That was hard to watch.”
She was referring to my fight with Anya but I ignored her comment.
“There’s nothing for us to chat about,” I responded calmly.
A sharp contrast to how I felt inside.
Her smile remained polite. “Of course, there is. I’m certain Damon must have told you who I am but nobody told me about you.”
I held her gaze. “I didn’t realize introductions were mandatory.”
“They aren’t,” she said easily. “I just like to know who’s important to the people I care about.”
That landed softly, but it landed.
She was admitting to still caring about Damon and thinks I’m important to him.
Was I?
I met her gaze in the mirror as I turned to use my mascara. “Then now you do.”
