Written by Amanda

As Stefan drove home he thought about just how dissimilar Elena and Katherine really were. He notes the differences and similarities in their appearance and demeanor, making a special note about the differences in eye color and how Elena’s “narrowed with determination or challenge in a way Katherine’s never had.” Thinking of Katherine always brought back memories; this time it was the day Katherine showed of the new white gown, her father had commissioned for her.
Memorable Quotes
Damon: “Even the most doting of fathers must start to wonder when his daughter comes forth only at night.” (Page 135)
Katherine: “Who chooses to be my husband must give up the life of sunlight,” she whispered. “He must choose to live under the moon and in the hours of darkness.” (Page 136)

Meredith: “You see,” said Meredith archly, “all Mr. Tanner’s work has paid off. Bonnie now knows the Spanish Inquisition is not a rock group.” (Page 142)
