"Well maybe say that next time instead of snarky comments telling me what I will be doing," Elena said, pressing her fingers lightly to her forehead, "This is all I can offer you, Damon. I haven't got any answers right now. If that isn't enough, then that's perfectly within your right. I'm not asking anything of you, I'm just trying to let you know where I stand."
She shrugged, shoulders hunching again as she dropped her gaze back to the floor. She wasn't going to argue with him, least of all now. When she finally spoke again, her voice was hushed and not much above a whisper. "I don't want to lose either of you. I'm not stupid, I know things won't ever be the same, but I care about you both so much. This isn't easy on anyone, you know."
