THAT SAME NIGHT AT
ROUSSEAU'S Damien falls on a round table with some bruises on his face.

"I'm gonna asks you again, what are your intentions for Mira?" Klaus asked, slowly walks up to him and crouches down to him.

"Go to hell." Damien said.

Klaus chuckled softly. "You do know that Mira is merely using you to get over her relationship with me. You're nothing to her but a romantic rebound."

Damien looks at Klaus. "And why do you care? Maybe, you're just slightly envious that Mira's love life. And you're taking your anger out on me."

Klaus vamp-speeds Damien to a wall in a chokehold. "You're disposable."

Damien uses his warlock magic to inflict magical pain on Klaus, causing Klaus to let him go and falls on the floor, clutching his head.

Suddenly, Mira wolfs-speed Klaus to a wall, eyeing him with her glow golden with small veins underneath her eyes, baring her werewolf fangs.

"Leave him alone?!" Mira exclaimed, and glances at Damien. "Damien, go home, I'll handle my ex-boyfriend."

Damien slowly gets up and walks away.

Mira slings Klaus across the bar, making him smash into a round table. And Klaus slowly gets back up to his feet.

"What the hell's with you, Klaus? Messing with Damien? What a dick move." Mira said.

"You care for him?" Klaus asked.

"Yeah, I do. And you're just annoyed that I've moved on from you." Mira said. "And it's not like you had any romantic with other women in your life."

Klaus sighs to himself.

"So, you want me now? Is that it?" Mira asked. "Well, it's too late. Damien and I are together, and it's not a damn thing that you can do. We were together, Klaus, but you ruined our relationship when you destroyed Davina's best friend, Tim."

Klaus and Mira mildly looks at each other and she walks away from him. But she stops and looks at Klaus again.

"Don't you ever harm my boyfriend, Damien, again." Mira said, walking away.

DAMIEN'S LOFT APARTMENT

In the living room, Damien is sitting on the three seat sofa, and Mira had put a small band-aids on his bruises.

"I am so sorry." Mira said.

"It's fine." Damien said.

"What did Klaus say to you?" Mira asked him.

"He said that you were merely using me as a romantic rebound to get over him." Damien said.

"You didn't believe him, did you?" Mira said.

"Of course not." Damien said.

"Klaus and I have known each other for a long while. But he and I are no longer together, and I don't have romantic feelings for him anymore, and he's gonna have to get over it." Mira said.

"You don't have to explain your ex-boyfriend drama, Mira. Jane-Anne and Sophie told me about you. Jane-Anne even said despite your reputation and your cheekiness, you're a good person." Damien said, in his English accent.

Damien and Mira exchange small smiles at each other and they kiss each other, passionately.

THE NEXT MORNING AT
DAMIEN'S APARTMENT in Damien's bedroom, Damien and Mira, are laying on his bed, asleep.

"Wake-y, wake-y, sleepyhead." Mira said, gently brushes Damien's shaggy dark brown hair with her fingertips.

Damien chuckles and tiredly wakes up and looks at Mira. "Hi there."

"You said that you're a warlock, and plus, you don't need grimoire for your magic." Mira said.

"I don't." said Damien. "Pretty cool, is it not?"

"Yeah. It's pretty cool." Mira said. "Anyhoo, I have to go."

"Dinner party's on me." Damien said.

"Okay, I'll let Jane-Anne and Sophie knows." Mira said.

Damien and Mira shares a kiss and she gets up, walking away.

ROUSSEAU'S

Mira is sitting at the bar counter with her bowl of gumbo and bottle of cider, eating small spoonfuls of the gumbo.

[Mira's Outfit]

"So, Klaus had his typical hissy fit and took it out on Damien?" Jane-Anne said. "Oh, gosh, but he's probably just a little envious."

"Or maybe, Klaus doesn't want Damien to vie for your affections other than him." Sophie said, sitting at the bar counter beside Mira.

"Klaus and I always exchange banter with each other, but now, that I'm dating Damien, Klaus's behavior has become annoyingly and moody." Mira said.

"Seems as though, Klaus isn't taking well with your new relationship." said Camille.

"Yeah. I know. He's gonna have to get over." Mira said.

"Well, knowing Klaus, he doesn't get over things." Camille said.

"Yeah. I know that too." Mira said.

"He was here last night, drinking bourbon, and he talked about you." Camille said to Mira.

"Oh, really?" Mira said.

"Yeah, really." Camille said.

FlashBack

After Mira left Rousseau's that night, Klaus is sitting at the bar counter with his small glass of bourbon.

Camille opened the door and slowly walks inside and sees Klaus. "Klaus? What are you doing here?"

"Perhaps, I needed a drink." Klaus said.

"I assume that you're drinking is about Mira?" Camille said.

"Me and Mira are no longer together. But perhaps, she's spending some time with her new boyfriend, Damien." Klaus said, annoyed.

Camille looks at Klaus, gloomily. "You did this to yourself, Klaus. You and Mira were together, but when you destroyed Tim, you didn't know that you were also destroying your relationship with Mira, and now, you're just mad that Mira is dating another guy. And you can't do anything about it."

Klaus breaks his small glass, shattering it in his hand and gets up, and walks away.

Now

"Klaus can have his little hissy fits and temper tantrum all he wants, he makes his choices himself." said Mira, taking a swig of her bottle of cider. "Oh, yeah, by the way, Janey, Soph, Damien's having a dinner party at his loft apartment."

"I'll bring the wine." Jane-Anne said.

"And I'll bring the dessert." Sophie added.

Mira, Jane-Anne and Sophie exchange small smiles at each other.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That evening, Mira slowly walks into the courtyard and sees some of Marcel's vampires lounging around, drinking bourbon.

Mira, Diego and Trinity exchange mildly looks at each other.

"What? Another rematch?" Mira asked.

"Not really no." Thierry said.

"Where's Klaus?" Mira asked.

"I'm right here." Klaus said, slowly walking inside the courtyard with a half empty bourbon bottle, and looks at Mira. "What's with you, Mira? Done giving your new boyfriend, Damien, your lovey-dovey eyes?" He added, having become envious of his ex-girlfriend's new relationship.

"I'm pretty sure you still have a few women to bed with. Or are you and Genevieve still on the outs?" Mira said, cheekily, folding her arms.

"Both of you, enough." Elijah said, walking down the stairs and into the courtyard. "Miranda, if you have any information, now, would it a splendid opportunity to do so."

"Francesca Correa." Mira said.

"What of her?" Klaus asked.

Mira smiles, cheekily, again. "If I tell you both, it would spoil the fun."

Klaus and Elijah exchange looks at each other and averts their gaze at Mira again.

"I'll see you Mikaelson boys around." Mira said, slowly walking away.

"You ought to warn your boyfriend, Damien, don't want him getting harmed." Klaus said.

Mira looks at Klaus. "You would love that, wouldn't you, Klaus? Given that Damien is in your way of any slight hopes of reconciling with me."

Klaus looks at Mira, rolling his eyes, annoyed. And she walks away.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

THAT NIGHT AT DAMIEN'S LOFT APARTMENT Mira, Jane-Anne, Sophie and Damien are sitting at the table with their plates of food, and drinks of wine.

"This pasta is really good, Damien." Jane-Anne said with a smile.

"Thanks, so is the cheesecake." Damien said back with a smile.

"Cheesecake is Mira's favorite." Sophie said.

Damien, Jane-Anne and Sophie exchange small smiles at each other.

Mira's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Davina

Mira excuses herself and slowly walks over to the windowsill, answering her phone.

"Davina, how are you?" Mira asked her, concerned.

"I'm okay. Marcel and I have made amends. I just wanted to say "Hi" to you." Davina said on the phone.

"It's good to hear from you, Davina, and I'm happy that you're doing okay." Mira said, relieved. "Perhaps, you and I can meet up at Rousseau's for ice cream sundaes?"

"Yeah, sure." Davina said, and hangs up her phone.

Mira slowly walks back over to the table and sits back down.

"Everything's okay?" Sophie asked her.

"Yeah. Sure is." Mira said with a small smile, resuming eating her food.
