"That doesn't matter, what matter is that you are here now, I've missed you," she said hugging him tighter.
Elena could be in his arms forever, he was not only the love of her life, but he was her hero.
"I hate that you have to be here, wherever here is, but selfishly, I'm glad you are with me. I love you, Stefan, don't ever forget that" she said hugging him again.
Then she took his hand and squeezed it. "It's like a dream, this place. Yet the people I watched while waiting for you seemed happy enough. This place can't be that bad, can it?"
