To most, the sight of Damon Salvatore so vulnerable and open would come as quite the shock. For Elena, it had become almost second nature. This man, who she had once thought she hated with every fiber of her being, had captured her heart and soul. There were parts of him that were selfish, and angry, and volatile, but there were also parts that were good, and kind, and loving.
And when it came to Elena? The good always outweighed the bad.
He loved her. Every inch, every broken little piece, loved her. He proved it time and time again, and Elena knew she would be a fool to walk away after they finally found their way back to one another. Damon was it for her. Maybe he always had been.
Leaning forward, Elena shifted so she could rest her forehead against his. "I think," she murmured, bringing a hand up to gently caress his cheek. "we've been through a lot lately. If this disaster didn't pull us apart, nothing will." Elena paused, her lips curving into a soft smile. "Face it, Salvatore. You're stuck with me. Think you can handle that?"
