[ elena's not 100% sure it was either, but sookie wanted to organize this for some togetherness. for everyone in the prison to... find some stability in a place where there is none. to look on the bright side - or at least at your other options.
it's something elena believes in too.
she spots matt while he's approaching, sucks in a breath and straightens. she wants to talk to him, see him, wants to know... (everything.) wants to know he's all right. it's been a day or so since she's been with him in person, and now after their talk about caroline and secrets yesterday...
what is all comes down to, really, is that she cares about him. (and he's keeping something from her.) ] Hey. How are you doing?
