Wilted But Not Forgotten

Damon POV

A knocking is what wakes me up. Cringing at the brightness of the room as I open my eyes, I roll over to face the bedroom door.

I can't help but grumble, "What?" The door squeaks open, the hinges still scratched and dented to hell. Aaron poked his head in with a small smile on his freshly shaved face. His hair is gelled back and instead of his usual singlet or tee, he wears the black blazer and matching tie I bought him yesterday. I sigh at the sight of it, remembering what today entails.
