Chapter 156 Strategy

Damon's POV:
The moon hung high in the night sky, casting a gentle glow over the world below. I stood at the doorstep of Derek's house. I'd pondered for days how I could receive the news of Derek's innocence. It had been so difficult for me to come to terms with it but now it was different. If Derek had indeed not killed our parents, then who the fuck did? My heart pounded with anticipation. Things had always been complicated between us, a constant dance of push and pull, filled with hatred and malice. Perhaps we could sort that all out tonight if we knew what we were doing.
My mind raced with thoughts of our history, the ups and downs, the missed opportunities. I couldn't help but smile as I recalled the countless times they had come close to crossing the line, only to be interrupted by life's interruptions. Even though I had no idea how to face her tonight, I still believed that it could all be resolved.
