You need to take her out tomorrow. Get her smiling." Liz says.

Enzo hadn't been sure what to expect when Elizabeth Forbes had called him, asking him to come and visit her without her daughter in tow- perhaps a threat that he had better not corrupt her, or to simply glare at him as her daughter occasionally did, but it certainly hadn't been this.

"Pardon?" Enzo asks, just to be sure that he did not hear wrong.

Liz raised a brow and adjusted her position on her pillow, making herself more comfortable. She is pale, almost grey, and her eyes are sunken. Enzo knew Liz did not have long, but she had made a promise to Caroline to try, and stay as long as she could. Liz looked like crap, but her voice when she spoke is strong, and she clearly knows Enzo can hear her.

"Sheriff, with all due respect, it's all I can do to get her to go home at night. Hell I just barley managed to convince her to stay in school." Enzo tells Liz.

They had a argument, because she didn't want to leave her mother alone, but he had refused to let her skip school. Not with all the time they have spent studying, not with how much he knew she wants to be successful in getting her degree, in making something of herself. And she would of that Enzo had no doubt. He very much looked forward to being at her side as she did so.

"Look, normally I would ask Stefan. But Caroline will barley talk to him. And as much as I love Elena, she hasn't always been the best of friend to my daughter. You, on the other hand, seem to be the one she turns to these days. So I'm turning you. It's Bonnie Bennet's birthday tomorrow, Enzo. I know she is going to be extra upset, so tomorrow I don't care if you have to drag her away for few hours just get her out. She has not smiled in a while not since I got sick. I would love to see her smile again." Liz says as her gaze turns to look out the window she looks almost sad.

And because Enzo felt the same way, he has missed the brilliant grin of hers and because this is Caroline's mother, and it seems he can not say no to her any more than he can to her daughter, Enzo found himself nodding.

This is sure to bite him in the ass.

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE; THE LIVING ROOM

 Enzo called her earlier and asked her to meet him at the Salvatore boarding house. so as she pulls into the dive way, Caroline is on the phone with her mother.

"Mom, I'm not calling to check up on you, ok? I'm just about to start making Bonnie's birthday cake and want to make sure that your recipe called for 3 eggs instead of 4, right? All right. I'm just a phone call away in case you need any...thing bye. Caroline says. There's already a cake on the table. Caroline gasps when she sees Miss Cuddles on the table. Stefan walks over to her.

" Is it just me, or do her eyes follow you around the room?" Caroline asks.

" Hmm. It's definitely you." Stefan says looking at the bear.

"Is Enzo here, he asked me to meet him." Caroline asks.

"Yes, he is inside." Stefan says a little angry.

" Miss Cuddles isn't. She's out there all alone like Bonnie. You know what? I'm gonna go find her."

"You're gonna what?" Stefan asks shocked as Enzo walks outside.

"Yeah. It's Bonnie's birthday." Carolines says as she puts on her jacket.

" Wait, wait. Hold on. Caroline, you've been going through a lot lately. Do you think that maybe you're just a little confused about what you're actually upset about?" Stefan tells Caroline.
