It was a pretense of reconciliation but, in reality, a display of triumph.
Wasn't the frosty distance between Damon and me the perfect tonic to her insecurities?
"Whatever kind of friendship it is, I'm not interested. I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm heading home." I didn't play along with Catherine's performance.

When I got home, Serena and Brandon were already awake.
Norah was making them exercise. Seeing me, she took the groceries from me, "Ms. Brooks, I'll start breakfast."
Norah went to the kitchen, and I stayed with the kids.
During that time, my mom sent a video call. Other than checking in on the kids, she wanted to talk about Lucas' affairs. To my surprise, Lucas had drawn up a will. After the immediate family, my mom was next in line.
