the bartender seemed to notice Melissa and started to move their direction. “You really should be careful. I’ve heard the penalties for underage drinking can be pretty steep.” Melissa smirked at the blonde before quickly placing her order with the distracted bartender who went to fulfill it.

who was younger than even Spencer, appearing to be around 17 or 18. Which meant her trip to this bar likely warranted a fake ID. The plastic Hastings smile formed once more on her lips, and Melissa chuckled as if the stranger had shared a humorous remark. “No, you didn’t. My mistake.” At last, —

Boredom reverberated in every syllable of the retort, and the friendly smile Melissa could so easily summon faltered in her surprise. Maybe her bar culture skills were a little dusty, but the blatant dismissal in her casual overture felt a little unwarranted. Melissa studied the woman beside her —

more took in evidence of fatigue or perhaps stress etched in her sister’s face—puffiness under the eyes, a drawn look to her expression. “Is that why you’re eager to leave town with me? If this is really serious, you can’t keep it to yourself. You need help.” Was their relationship so fractured —

on her sister. Just as she was going to issue a retort about Spencer and her boundless curiosity, the subject of traveling together came up, and Melissa seized on her worry that vital information was being concealed.

“Spencer, are you…in some kind of trouble?” Melissa inclined her head and once —

same time, the Hastings were a secretive bunch, beginning with their father and his many dalliances resulting in unclaimed children. The mere thought of that history set Melissa’s teeth on edge, so she suppressed every thought of Jason and the Hastings patriarch and instead trained her attention —

Willingly spending time with her sister set off an alarm bell within Melissa who continued to regard Spencer with a mixture of suspicion and growing concern. Maybe it was the Hastings intellect, but their family had a tendency to keep pursuing when it might be best to temper that behavior. At the —

outside. That’s how Melissa ended up searching for a seat at the bar, taking up one of the stools beside a stylish blonde. The bartender didn’t notice the new arrival, so Melissa had time to scan the liquor lined shelves before turning to the woman on the neighboring stool. “I’m a little out of —

She must have lost her mind because it was a ludicrous decision to follow an intriguing stranger away from the bustle of D.C. to small town Virginia. One of the clear centers of Mystic Falls life was at the Grill where many young people gathered and immersed themselves in boisterous conversation —

@crazyliarmona.bsky.social One thing about small town living, running into everyone you knew was unavoidable. Even though Melissa was well aware of that fact, having an almost collision with Mona Vanderwaal on the sidewalk startled her more than she cared to admit. “Mona.” She blurted the name —

Concern seeped into her voice, and she leaned forward, carefully scrutinizing her sister’s face for a —

“It’s over there.” Melissa gestured vaguely to an unoccupied corner of the living room where her small rolling luggage bag and matching shoulder bag remained until she was ready to collect them. The pair sported Dulles airport tags because of her initial reason to venture south—a job interview —

loathe to part with her favorite timepiece. Once more, she resumed her inspection of Spencer before taking another lazy sip of wine. “Where was I?” She chuckled at the presumptuous nature of Spencer’s question. “Taking a much needed long weekend to explore a little of that Southern charm. And —
