He thought twice about defending Elena. The Elena he knew did nothing but give, so much so that it was a fault of hers, but Damon reminded himself that he didn’t know the Elena Katherine had just faced. “Being a vampire must have changed her...” He muttered the words under his breath, not wanting to believe them. He was still in love with the young woman Elena was in Lawrence. Thinking that she could have done such a 180 upset him slightly.
Damon listened patiently to Katherine telling her story. He was beginning to really understand her reasons for being unhappy. He knew if he’d had the cure forced on him he’d have been in a ditch somewhere, clutching a bottle of whiskey close to him. Katherine was actually handling it well, thus far.
“We’ll get through it.” He gave a sympathetic half-smile. He knew it would be a team effort helping her adjust to humanity, but he was willing to do the work. She was that important to him.
