Stefan was trying to get out more. He was also trying to give Elena her space. Those two things put together meant that he spent a lot of time with Lexi. That had been the way of things over the years anyway, most often when Stefan lost control, but there were other times when it wasn't so tense. Over the years, they had remained best friends, and since she had just lost someone as well, they needed each other.

There were things Stefan truly liked about Lexi. She told him things without beating around the bush. When he was a jerk, she was the first one to let him know. When he was in trouble, she was the first one there. He didn't have to talk if he didn't want to, and she had seen him at his very worst, and their relationship stayed a constant. There really wasn't anyone he trusted more. That group included Elena and his own brother. Lexi was special.

Now that they were out, he tried to smile, even though he was faking it. He did enjoy the cool air, not that it really affected him, but everyone in the park was enjoying it. He had often thought that he should be trying this with Elena, but maybe it wasn't meant to be. He had really messed up. He had acted like a complete monster, and he had shoved her away. Maybe it was best that he let her move on. As much as Elijah made him cringe, he had to deal with what he had done. "What do you want to do?" he asked, watching the people skating on the lake.
