No. [ it's said with a muted exhale and a lingering smile - for in part the reason bonnie's thinking. age really has nothing to do with it; with how she feels about him or the choices she'd make.
she pauses, because there is a 'just', one that maybe she shouldn't consider, and it's why she hesitates, to decide not consider it. (damon's made a lot very clear, and she's not heartbroken or lingering over it.) ] It's nothing... Everything's temporary here.
I guess I'm not sure if he'd... want to stay as much as I do. [ it's as much the truth about how she's been feeling about this place as much as it's the 'just.' sam wants to get back home, do things he has to do - and get back to his brother.
elena's pretty sure she'd just settle for having jeremy here.
and she says it because it's also something she hasn't confessed to just about anyone. bonnie just got here, and she's been going through so much... there's a part of elena that feels guilty for thinking this way, when there are people stuck here who deserve something more. who want something more. bonnie's one of those people. she's also one of the people elena would rather have here if they can't be home. ]
