Stefan watched, puzzled as to why she reacted the way she did. He wasn't some scary beast that would eat her up if she pissed him off.
"I'm so sorry Stefan", she kept saying.
"It's fine", he was almost laughing. "It's not a big deal, I didn't fall"
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you really see me that way?" Stefan asked.
"What way?"
"A raging monster?"
She almost burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" He asked, slightly amused.
"You", Lucia laughed. "How Can you ask me that? Don't you see how people act around you? Caroline told me what you did to the clerk at the courthouse," she paused for a moment as she thought what she was going to say through, "you need therapy Stefan."
She saw his facial expression change from amusement into one of hurt, then anger.
"Hey I didn't mean to talk down on you, I just feel like-"
"You can't be safe around me?" He interrupted.
