Damon grinned happily as soon as he saw the first message from Elena appear. The relief he felt that she was really here coursed through him, and the tension he'd felt since the moment he and Bonnie had arrived there finally released from his shoulders. Elena was here, and safe. She was his life, and without her. Well, he didn't want to think about being without her again. Those four months without her in 1994 had been agony.
He checked his hair in the mirror, needing to make sure he looked perfect. This was far to reminiscent of when he got back from the prison world. Only to discover she'd had her memories of their relationship compelled away. And, worse. Was dating someone else. His heart had broken in that instant. And, yet, it had been the best he'd ever taken a heart break. Previously, he'd acted out, and people got hurt. This time, he tried to win her back, until he realised that she was happier without him. And, letting her go had been the most selfless thing he had ever done. But, even that hadn't kept her away from him.
He shook the negative thoughts from his mind, as he headed up two floors and hesitated outside of her door. He knew she could probably hear him there. But, he needed the minute to gather himself before he knocked on the door and waited impatiently for her to open it.
