[ Damon had gone to bed an hour before Elena's arrival which is why he's only realizing that she's back right now. Surprised, relieved and thankful for her return, he's replayed Elena's video post twice now just so he's able to see her face, hear her voice, and what is he even still doing standing in his bedroom when he could be over there talking to her in person?
He's an idiot.
Grabbing his jacket, Damon heads out in a rush before screwing all attempts to be careful as he vamp speeds over to the girls' shared apartment. He skips knocking on the front door because when has he ever, goes straight for Elena's balcony instead and taps his fingers on the glass.
