"Yeah well..." And Elena would have blushed if she was able to, but she couldn't anymore, though it was still obvious that she was a bit embarrassed by the way she looked away from Stefan's deep green eyes and bit into her bottom lip with blunt teeth. "I don't see how. I'm just...a girl. But she really liked me, even when I felt like an idiot and said stupid things." It was true, Elodie just seemed to go with the flow and didn't pay attention to mistakes and flaws. She was really maternal in every sense of the word and someday...down the line, Elena would be her daughter-in-law.
She looked back to her lover, moving her hands to his to his face, running her thumbs along his cheekbones in a gentle motion. A small laugh built up in her throat before she leaned in to kiss him again, sweetly, keeping her lips molded against his own for a minute and just enjoying the contact. It was unbelievable how much she loved Stefan...and seeing him with his mom was amazing. Seeing how alike they were! Both kind and wonderful. Elena had gotten so lucky in having him for a boyfriend. "I love you, Stefan...," she whispered against his mouth, closing her brown eyes and resting her forehead against his own.
