You always were selfish. Your one fault. Not willing to share anything, are you?" Suddenly, Damon's lips curved up in a singularly beautiful smile. But fortunately the lovely Elena is more generous. Didn't she tell you about our little liaisons? Why? The first time we met she almost gave herself to me on the spot."
"That's a lie!"
"Oh, no, dear brother, I never lie about anything important. Or do I mean unimportant? Anyway, your beauteous damsel nearly swooned into my arms. I think she likes men in black." As Stefan stared at him, trying to control his breathing, Damon added, almost gently, "You're wrong about her, you know, You think she's sweet and docile like Katherine. She isn't. She's not your type at all, my saintly brother. She has a spirit and a fire in her that you wouldn't know what to do with."
"And you would, I suppose."

You have to breathe," Sage was shouting in Damon's ear. "Take a breath, as if you were going to speak, but then hold onto it, as if raising your Power.Think about your insides. Get those lungs working!"
The words confused Elena.
"There!" cried Sage. "You see?"
"But it only lasts an instant. Then I need to do it again."

Something was shining on Damon's face. She reached toward it, touched it, and lifted her fingers away in wonder.
"Don't be sad," she told him, feeling the cool wetness on her fingertips. But a pang of worry disturbed her. Who was there to understand Damon now? Who would be there to push him, to try to see what was really inside him? "You have to take care of each other," she said, realizing it. A little strength came back to her, like a candle flaring in the wind. "Stefan, will you promise? Promise to take care of each other?

Damon: I wanted to apologize.
Elena: Good.
Damon: Let me finish. I said I wanted to. And then I realized, Iβm not sorry.
Elena: You would rather die than be human, and you expect me to be okay with that?
Damon: I didnβt say you were supposed to be okay with it, I just said Iβm not sorry. But you know what I really am? Selfish, because I make bad choices that hurt you. Yes, I would rather have died than be human. Iβd rather die right now than spend a handful of years with you, only to lose you when Iβm too old and sick and miserable and youβre still you. Iβd rather die right now than spend my last final years remembering how good I had it and how happy I was, because thatβs who I am, Elena, and Iβm not gonna change. And thereβs no apology in the world that encompasses all the reasons that Iβm wrong for you.
Elena: Fine, then Iβm not sorry either. Iβm not sorry that I met you. Iβm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything, that in death youβre the one that made me feel most alive. Youβve been a terrible person, youβve made all the wrong choices, and of all the choices that Iβve made this will prove to be the worst one. But I am not sorry that Iβm in love with you.

But then she remembered something else, just a flash: looking up at Damonβs face in the woods and feeling suchβsuch excitement, such affinity with him. As if he understood the flame that burned inside her as nobody else ever could. As if together they could do anything they liked, conquer the world or destroy it; as if they were better than anyone else who had ever lived.
I was out of my mind, irrational, she told herself, but that little flash of memory wouldnβt go away.
And then she remembered something else: how Damon had acted later that night, how heβd kept her safe, even been gentle with her.
Stefan was looking at her, and his expression had changed from belligerence to bitter anger and fear. Part of her wanted to reassure him completely, to throw her arms around him and tell him that she was his and always would be and that nothing else mattered. Not the town, not Damon, not anything.
But she wasnβt doing it.
