Moving clear across the country so that her fiance could join another pack to get away from his crazy dad is not exactly what Caroline Forbes had planned on doing with her life at this particular age, but when it comes to things like fiance (mostly that fiance being Tyler) and getting Tyler away from his crazy dad she's willing to make little changes in order to benefit the good of all. It also helped that Elena and Matt were already on this coast to make the transition a little easier.

(It was five hours to Palo Alto. Five hours driving was still better than all the coordination it takes for a five hour plane ride.)

Still, once she actually arrived in Beacon Hills, she's willing to admit that she may have prejudged this town a little harshly. It's actually more than a little adorable. It's got a Mystic Falls vibe all it's own, but lighter, which I guess is what happens when your mayor isn't a psychopathic alpha werewolf trying to make your life miserable. Talia Hale? A plus alpha from what Caroline could tell - which, she could tell a lot, if just knowing Cora even as little as she does is anything to go off of - and she has a feeling they're going to be very happy here. The TV station even approved her transfer to the local syndicate, so as soon as they find an apartment, she's pretty much set.

Which is what she, Elena and Matt (poor, poor Matt) are doing while Tyler is doing his alpha bonding with Talia and getting to know the pack as a whole. It's been a few days of meetings up at the Hale house, and him coming back to the hotel seeming so much happier than she's seen him in a long time, and that? That is worth every inconvenience, every hiccup, every ounce of homesickness because they fought for this for so long, and now they finally have it.

(This is probably the only universe in existence where Caroline Forbes would actually be grateful for Klaus Mikaelson. Whadaya know?)

She's coming out of one of the buildings, finishing up the details with the realtor, when she spots Tyler coming up the sidewalk and grins. Once they part ways, she's skipping over to him, throwing her arms around his shoulders and pulling him in close. "I love this town."

He pointed at Cora. "You're supposed to be on my team here."

Liam went to sit next to her, petting Bob. "I like her."

Cora grins back at him before shaking her head. "I'm the aunt. I'm never on the parent's side."

"Oh, Cora, when you have kids, just remember this moment." Derek went to stand up. "I'm going to start dinner. Do you want to stay and join us?"

She pauses, considering for a moment and tipping her head to the side. "Give me a ride back to the preserve when we're done?"
grumpypuppy: (what did you say to me?)

"Sure." He opened the fridge, looking in. "So, I have steak or chicken. I'm thinking trying Fiona's barbeque recipe. Any complaints?"

"None from me." Liam grinned.

Cora shrugs. "I'll eat whatever. Just feed me."
grumpypuppy: (Happy - oh you)

Derek snorted, and he went to go start up the grill outside. He'd just cook both, and hopefully Fiona would have something left between the three wolves.
