  Summary

  Damon Salvatore has three rules: don’t fall in love, don’t get involved, and absolutely don’t get distracted by the houseguest with the tragic past and the silvery-lavender dress.

  Unfortunately for him, Elena Gilbert is not the kind of girl who follows anyone’s rules, least of all his.
