[ elena's home - simply completing tasks around the apartment. (tyler's here; the sheriff is here. she wants to see them both but knows caroline has her time with them first. she needs that.) she's folding some clothes when she hears the door shut and then waits for the inevitable hello from bonnie or caroline.
it doesn't come, but she does hear something that sounds like crying. she puts down the clothes and walks slowly out into the hall. she knows it's crying now, and she knows it's caroline.
she's not sure what it could be - her mom or tyler or -
is it stefan? some combination of? did caroline tell - ?
she pulls in a breath when she finds her by the door, feels pangs of worry and pain. ] Caroline?
