Since that night when Damon had woken her from her strange dream, the awkwardness and distance between the two of them had grown. They were each waiting for the other to say something. And, really, Elena knew she should be the one to say something. Should be the one to bring this up, because she was the problem here. It wasn't Damon or anything that he was doing. It was her. She was being an ungrateful girlfriend, unable to open up, to relax, to just...enjoy.
And yet she couldn't bring herself to do it. Kept putting off actually having a discussion with him. She'd gotten up early that morning, had gone for a run, trying to clear her mind. And she'd returned home and immediately started straightening the apartment, mind still whirling.
Standing there studying the room, one thumb made its way to her mouth. She was biting the hangnail there almost without realizing it, stomach flip-flopping. She needed to make the move. Needed to let Damon know before things went any further. Before she could hurt him even more.
