The Gilbert Witch 6

Let Her Go

Salvatore Boarding House

Caroline is writing a to-do list for Liz's funeral.

You've all asked what you can do to help. "She said.

There are five day's worth of projects on here. We are going to do them in one. We can break the rules and cut through the red tape. I expect my mom to be properly celebrated and buried by the end of the day. "She said.

She's acting like she's planning a party.

This isn't right.

Sure, Care. Whatever you need. "Matty said.

Jake, Tyler and Stefan nod

Emely, you're coming with me. "She said.

Where are we going? "I asked.

Casket shopping. Let's move! "She said.

Elena came barging in.

I'm so sorry. I'm late I know. "She said breathless.

Are you also sorry for forgetting Jer? "I asked annoyed.

What do you mean? Where is jeremy? "She asked confused.

Wow. Some sister you are. "I said sarcastically.

Guys. Come on. "Matty said.

Right. Sorry, come on Care. I'll drive. "I told her.

She nodded.

Outside

Me and Caroline walk through the front door.

I'll drive. I sent Elena's car to Jeremy. "I said snickering.

Jeremy! I forgot to put him on my list of people to call. "She said panicking.

It's okay. I called him. "I told her.

Archer And Son's Funeral Home

Your mother was such a vibrant woman. Even after your father ran off with that man. "Ms. Mcgruder said.

Thank you, Ms. McGruder. I'm sure we'll see you at the funeral. "I told her.

I quickly lead Caroline away.

Well, welcome to the world of awkward sympathies. That's why you have to be prepared with your responses. I recommend at least three. "I told her.
I don't know how you and elena survived this. "She said.

Your responses will be different for each category of people in your life: friends of circumstance, casual acquaintances, loved ones. "I told her.

I kissed Stefan. I want to talk to him about it, but if it's bad, I feel like he won't be honest, you know, not today. "She said.

I looked at her shocked.

Then talk to him about it tomorrow. You already have a lot on your plate. "I told her.

I think I need to know today. We're behind schedule. Let's go. "She said.

Salvatore Boarding House

I'm worried about Caroline. I don't think she's handling this as well as she thinks she is. "I said to damon.

I see him still writing the eulogy.
