Hayley Marshall

Hayley had all the right reason's about planning to attend. Mystic Falls did give Hope a safe life, a chance to live the best life she could at the time. ❝ I wish I could have been around more for Hope growing up. ❞ She was and always would be his favourite niece. ❝ It's a good reason for you to go though. ❞

It was true that Hope didn't have her uncles, Rebekah, or even her father around. That was for a good reason and a selfless one. She reached out and took Kol's arm in a comforting touch. "You saved her, Kol," she said softly. "You were had to miss out on her life but she only had one because of what you four did."

"Thank you," she said with a smile. "We might have to take you up for a day or two. Till we find something else," she said. She paused when Hayley asked the question and Keelin looked down at the ring on her finger. The first gift Freya ever gave her. The ring that stopped her from having to turn. Now she didn't even need it. "It's not what I planned," she said, knowing Hayley would get that. "I don't know what it means for Freya and I... I can't even imagine having to be alive 100 years from now and Freya not-" She had never wanted to live forever and not without Freya. "It also isn't lost on me that I don't think I can do my job anymore. Blood now and then is one thing but everyday... It's just alot to process."

"There are choices down the line and who knows what the magic that brought us all back could affect," it might not even be a choice the two of them had to make. "I can only tell you to live in the moment." She learned that worrying about the future took away from everything that mattered. She didn't want Keelin and Freya to lose out what they had because they worried about losing it too much. "The bloodlust won't be so bad forever," she said with a half life in her voice. "Just don't rush yourself. You might not be the same as you were before." That was okay and she wanted Keelin to know that.

Hayley was glad that Cami didn't have to rush back to work. It had been too long and she felt like they needed to catch up. "As long as you're sure," she smiled as she stood a few steps away from the blonde vampire. "I'm starving and I have been wanting to try it since I got to town." It would be a first time in there for her.

Hayley couldn't help but smile as she walked up to the blonde vampire. "Any chance you can extend that lunch?" It had been too long since they had got together in her mind. She could use the company.

"I don't know but the timing is not great," she said, looking to Hayley with a half smile. She was sure that Freya had shared the news of her death experience. "There are alot of us back in town at the same time, and you know what Mikaelson's are like with no where to live," she joked. "I think there is a place near the Grill that will do for a night or two. Sadly."

With everyone coming into town it was probably going to be hard to find a room. She didn't envy trying to find a place right now. "If you can't find a place I have a room with two queens. The kids could share the pull out bed," it would be better than having no where to go.

Location: Mystic Falls off Main Street outside Mrs Flowers Bed and Breakfast "When did Mrs Flowers bed and breakfast close down?" Keelin signed, looking up at the old building that used to be her and Freya's favorite bed and breakfast to stay at when they passed through town to drop their kids off at the school or visit Hope back in the day. "I don't suppose the hotels are any good in town? I think I am going to need one."

Hayley was still concerned about the text that she got a few days after Matt died. Yet she pushed it out of her mind when she saw someone familiar in the distance. Smiling as she walked over just in time to hear about the bed and breakfast. "I'm not sure. Is it closed for good?" she asked as she looked to the building for a moment before looking back at Keelin.

Moving to approach his sister-in-law, Kol rose up a brow. ❝ And are you going to attend now? ❞

"I feel like I should," she said with a soft nod. "I may not have been close to him personally but Mystic Falls gave Hope somewhere safe to grow up and he's such a big part of it." When she didn't have any of the Mikaelsons but Freya helping her out the people in Mystic Falls gave them a place. It may have be more Caroline and Alaric but it wasn't only them.

Hayley let out a sigh as she looked over to Kol, "No one is going to make you go, Kol." It wasn't as if they were going to take attendance. She couldn't say that she blamed him for not wanting to go.
