Stefan gave me a necklace, when we first started dating. I never took it off, it represented our bond. It was taken from me, once, and Damon brought it back even knowing what it meant to me about Stefan, even though it must have hurt him so much to do it. He loved me, and he searched a whole summer to just to get it back. He was so selfless, then, he always was with me. If there's anything he'd want for me now, it's for me to be happy.
That's when I fell in love with him, I think.
[ her words are soft -- she's never said this before to anyone, afraid of what it would mean if she did. she wasn't with stefan then, not technically, but her heart should have belonged to him entirely, not been divided between the two brothers the way it was. but she had been falling for damon nearly the entire time she was with stefan, she can admit that now. ]
Thank you for listening. It means a lot, d'Artagnan, really.
