Elena: We need to stop right?
Damon: Right.
Elena: Because why?
Damon: Because 你 爱情 Stefan?
Elena: Yeah I um.. i 爱情 him. Right. I should probably go...
Damon: Wait we still haven't.... should I be leaving?
(Elena 答案 while shuffling out the door)
Elena: No, definitely not.
Later 你 see Elena with Stefan who’s back in the Salvatore House)

Damon: Look’s like the famous couple’s back... in my house…. great.

(Elena, embarrassed with memories flooding back to her of earlier that day, turns away)

Elena: Can we go to the Mystic Grill? I’m… starving.

Stefan: Elena, we have 食物 here. Don’t let him bully 你 into leaving. 你 can stay as long as you’d like. Don’t Worry. (Stefan turns to Damon) Do 你 really have to do this now, Damon?

Damon: Don’t worry, brother. I’m leaving. I don’t think I’m up for your melodramatic couple drama today.

Elena: Wait, Damon. Don’t go.

Damon: Excuse me?

Elena: I mean that um, uh I uh need to talk to you, in private.

Stefan: Elena, what is this about? Why do 你 need me to leave?

Damon: Yeah, Elena. Anything 你 say to me can be 说 in front of your DEAREST Stefan, right Elena?

Elena: I um have to go… Stefan, tomorrow please tell me what happened at Harvard. We never really got around to discussing it… I 爱情 you.

Stefan: I 爱情 你 too. But 你 don’t really need to go. Surely 你 can stay here!

Elena: I’m sorry Stefan… um Aunt Jenna wanted to do some “family bonding activity” thing tonight and I totally spaced. I’ll call 你 later tonight kay?

Stefan: Okay Elena but…

Elena: I really have to go… (Kisses Stefan on the cheek) I’ll call you. I promise.

(On the way, Elena risks a small glance at Damon. Damon has a confused look on his face and she quickly looks away when she makes eye contact)

(On the way, Elena risks a small glance at Damon. Damon has a confused look on his face and she quickly looks away when she makes eye contact)

Elena: *whispers* Good bye Damon

(Later, Elena is the covers of her bed, sitting up with her back against the 枕头 when suddenly, Damon enters)

Elena: Damon…

Damon: Elena.

Elena: What are 你 doing here?

Damon: I wanted to make sure 你 were alright.

Elena: I’m fine. Now can 你 please leave? Someone might hear you.

(Damon pauses, and intently listens to what appears to be nothing)

Damon: Aunt Jenna and Jeremy are both asleep. It’s just us.

Elena: Doesn’t matter. 你 still have to leave.

Damon: Why?

Elena: Because I don’t want you… because I need to think.

Damon: About what, darling?

(Elena gets out of the covers to stand 下一个 to Damon, eye to eye)

Elena: About you, Stefan, about the kiss, about… everything.

Damon: (smirking) Everything?

Elena: Yes, Damon, everything.

Damon: But.. uh.. did 你 mean what 你 said?

Elena: About what?

Damon: About me, not leaving. I mean, I’m yours. If 你 want me to leave… so 你 can be with… well, I won’t object.

Elena: I most definitely do not want that.

Damon: But why not?

Elena: What do 你 mean?

Damon: I mean won’t it be so much easier if I left? I’d be making the choice for you… if there even is a choice in the first place…

Elena: Can 你 please stop that?

Damon: Stop what?

Elena: It’s like you’re fishing for me to say it… to tell 你 my choice. To tell 你 to leave 或者 stay. To admit a 爱情 I wouldn’t care to admit. I won’t do it Damon.

Damon: DO what Elena?

Elena: I won’t admit that I 爱情 you. I can’t.

Damon: Well I can’t stay. I won’t.

Elena: Well I don’t want 你 to go.’

Damon: Well if 你 can’t admit your love, admit this: 你 want to do it again.

Elena: DO WHAT?

Damon: 吻乐队（Kiss） me of course.

Elena: No.

(Damon slowly keeps walking towards her and she walks backwards until her back is against the wall)

Elena: We can’t keep doing this… Stefan is… He’s my… I..

Damon: Just stop lying to yourself Elena, for one second. Just feel. Can 你 do that for me Elena? Can 你 just feel?

Elena: I cant.. not with 你 Damon.

Damon: Why not precious? Tell me why. (Damon strokes her cheek while she shivers)

Elena: Because if I just feel, I’m afraid of what I’ll do.

Damon: I am too. But don’t we owe it to each other? Don’t 你 think?

Elena: Owe what?

Damon: To feel. Just this once. We owe it to each other to feel something. TO be satisfied once… just once.

Elena: But that’s what we 说 about the kiss.

Damon: The 吻乐队（Kiss） didn’t count.

Elena: Why not?

Damon: The 吻乐队（Kiss） was just the beginning. This can be the end can’t it? We deserve an ending, don’t we?
Elena: Yes, we do.
Damon: That's why we need this right?
Elena: Right.
(Elena goes into her 床, 床上 again, leaving a spot there for Damon)
(Damon goes in and Elena curls on his chest, sighing)
Elena: Is this enough for now?
Damon: Yes. Anything would be. (Damon kisses her forehead)
Damon: 你 have to stop doing this to me... (Elena turns around to look him in the eye)
Elena: What??
Damon: Making me human... I'm not. I never was.
Elena: Damon.. of course 你 were.
Damon: But 吸血鬼 aren' t supposed to want to be human. We have that switch for a reason, Elena. It's the only way we can deal with what we are.
Elena: You're beautiful...
Damon: No, we're not. I have to go. (Damon gets up to leave but Elena grabs his hand)
Elena: Stay...
(Damon looks like he's about to say something but gets text and checks what it is)
Elena: Who is it?
Damon: It's Stefan...
Elena: What'd he say?
Damon: He 说 he's with Katherine... She wants to speak with me he said.
Elena: KATHERINE? THE Katherine?
Damon: Yeah. THE Katherine.
Elena: Well, don't go.
Damon: He 说 that she 说 she'll go on a killing spree if she doesn't see me in the 下一个 hour. (Damon falls back a little, and grabs the 台, 办公桌 for support)
Elena: Well, we'll go together.
Damon: What will we tell Stefan?
Elena: We'll tell Stefan that 你 went right to me when 你 got the text. 你 wanted me to be the first to know. 你 wanted me to know so that I'd be properly protected. Then... when I insisted on going alone, instead of you, we compromised that we'd go together.
Damon: That's quite a story...
Elena: I know (Elena grabs his arm) Let's go.
