Elena sighed when Damon got defensive. He could be so impossible. It was maddening. She cared about him, a lot, but just because she couldn't love him, he felt the need to keep her at a distance. Why couldn't they all get along and work together without getting into fights like the one she and Elijah had walked in on before she came here? "Yeah, you can do whatever you want, but I don't want you to do something that will get you hurt or killed either." Granted as a vampire a hell of a lot less hurt him--physically, anyway. But that didn't mean Elena worried about him any less. "You don't have to save me, Damon. I'm a big girl."
