"Excellent!"

"Congratulations!"

Chloe couldn't help but chuckle at the spectacle. The scene was reminiscent of a superhero saving the planet. And Chloe found it amusing that this jovial woman was the mother of the seemingly aloof and sophisticated Damon.

Chloe couldn't help but laugh. Knowing her mother, she was not one to compromise - especially over something like this.
