[ she doesn't know what to do when caroline leaves the room. she can hear the floorboards beneath her steps, the suddenly deafening ticking of a clock in the living room. she can't listen to it, gets up and finds herself reaching for her communicator -
she needs to call matt. (see him. touch him. know he's alive.) damon. (she wants him here.)
stefan. (everything that happened after...) - everyone.
instead she reaches for the frame next to her bedside light. of her, jeremy, and jenna. (they're happy. alive. human.) caroline's knock jars her and she turns around, places the picture down on her bed. ]
Okay. [ it's as much an invitation for bonnie as it is for caroline. ]
