[Her stomach turns when he says her name, her fight-or-flight instinct threatening to kick itself into overdrive.
He's been back for quite some time. She's known that, just as she's known that actually engaging one another was inevitable, but damn if she hadn't managed to dodge him like a pro so far. She'd always made sure to have something else to do, or slipped out when he made his way in, letting Simon or Cami handle the bar instead, but the length of time that this dance had gone on?
Honestly, it was starting to get ridiculous.
She exhales, bracing one hand against her hip. She's not armed, though she wishes she was. Knowing that a weapon is within reach is calming to a degree-- but more than anything, it's the fact that she trusts Cami that wins out here. Cami wasn't worried about Klaus. Jo shouldn't be, either.]
Klaus.
[Their history, of course, was much more complicated than the two of them, even if he didn't remember. Elijah was a part of it, too, but that was a name she didn't dare say out loud these days for fear of causing Simon to let out a very real growl.]
Figured we'd find ourselves here sooner or later. Was kind of hoping for later.
