We're at Elena's house right now after the supposed debacle that was the Chicago trip.
Damon and Elena are cooking while I, helpful as always, sit to the side, drink a beer and watch them and their rather... weird behavior.
Damon: I just don't know why you want to bring chili to a potluck. Everybody brings chili.
Sam : I don't like chili.
That's when Alaric enters and thank God, I can't take Elena's and Damon's lovey-dovey, weird tension thingy all alone anymore.
Sam : Hey Ric.
Alaric: What's up?
Elena: What time do you want to go to the Lockwood party?
Alaric: Ah. Those founders parties aren't really my thing.
Sam : Hey, you're talking to the founders right now, put some respect on our name.
Damon: Yeah, show up, there's going to be nine other people that brought chili.
Elena: It's an old family recipe, okay?
Damon: Yeah! I know. I knew your old family. They made sucky chili.
He looks at her and smiles making her laugh and bump her side into my brother.
Alaric looks at me for any kind of info on what's going on between these two, but all I can do is shrug my shoulders, being just as weirded out as he is.
Alaric: Why are you here, exactly?
Damon: She knows.
Elena: They think I'm going to break. I'm not going to break. I am just going to keep making chili, pretend like I didn't just spend the entire summer looking for someone who didn't want to be found.
Damon: She's in denial.
Elena: I'm not in denial.
Damon: No?
He gets closer to her and touches her necklace.
Damon: You're still wearing this necklace. Isn't this the reminder of your unbreakable bond with Stefan?
Alaric and I watch them. It's weird. And creepy, kinda.
Sam : I liked you guys better when Elena hated you and you were all conflicted about it.
They both glare at me, so I turn to Ric, who just shrugs his shoulders as well.

After Damon went home, I stayed to talk with Elena about the whole Stefan situation.
Damon may be her friend, but he's not the kind of person you can have serious talks about feelings with.
Elena : It's hard, you know. I spent my entire summer looking for him, and he just sent me away. I should've gone to the Maldives with you.
I chuckle a bit.
Sam : Oh yeah, totally. Seeing you sulking every day while I whored around that island like there's no tomorrow. Sounds like a great vacation.
Elena : Well, at least you managed to distract yourself from the whole Bonnie thing.
Sam : The difference is that you're not single, while I am.
Elena : I don't know what I am. Did you meet anyone special during your time there?
Sam : I thought we're talking about you?
Elena : Well, I want to distract myself, but I can't afford a couple of months on the Maldives. So?
A smirk forms on my face.
