It makes things better. ...You're my closest friend, Damon. You really are." Elena looked up at him and bit into her bottom lip, thinking again about how jealous Stefan had gotten over their special bond. But she was...glad in a way that Damon had it, only because he could finally lay claim to something that Stefan couldn't.
