~ ABOUT A WEEK LATER ~

All these days Nicolae, JJ and Elena see a different Damon. A happy Damon. A Damon like he was before Margaret broke his heart.

He walks around the house humming happy songs. He laughs all the time and doesn't get angry at the slightest provocation, as he has done all the last year. On nights out at the Lair, he flirts with the ladies in his usual sweet and sexy way, but he leaves the club with the same girl every night. With Alice.

He spends the nights with her and she's overjoyed, but not quite. She has a thorn in her side that makes her heart bleed and that won't let her surrender to his magic. And that thorn is named Margaret.

Alice knows that Margaret will come back one day. By the way, she has a big question about how Margaret could leave him in the first place. How could anyone leave a man like him? Alice could never do such a thing. She'd always stay by his side no matter what. Even as a simple friend. Even as his simple employee.

This is exactly what Alice is afraid of. She fears that Damon won't be able to stay away from Margaret if she comes back. Of course, she keeps this fear from him so as not to upset him. He has asked her for peace and she wants to give him what he has asked for.

But is this fear really justified or is Alice just too worried because of her love for Damon? Let's see ...!

~ CLINIC OF ANGELS ~ CAFETERIA ~ A LITTLE AFTER NOON ~

Nicolae takes his lunch break at his favorite table in the back of the hall. In front of him he has a hamburger with double beef, cheddar cheese, tomato and a fried egg on top.

He's an angel and doesn't have to eat, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying his favorite meal. Besides, he has to keep up appearances and not admit to people that he's not one of them.

He takes the huge round masterpiece and brings it in front of his mouth.

Nicolae: Hello, beauty!

He bends down and is ready to take the first bite, but then ...

Damon: That well-cooked crap you're eating is going to kill you one day, Doc.

Without taking his eyes off his food, Nicolae almost growls.

Nicolae: I'm trying to eat, you freak. Go play with some nurses and come back in half an hour. Get out of here now!

He bites into the hamburger and begins to chew with his eyes closed, savoring the exquisite combination of flavors and aromas on his palate. After all, Artemis was absolutely right when she insisted on hiring this very chef. Nicolae and everyone else, clinic staff and patients, owe her a big thank you.

But Damon has no intention of making it easy for Nicolae. He pulls up the chair and sits across from him.
