The pale blue light of Elena's phone screen illuminated a secret she'd only just admitted to herself: the emergency contact listed wasn't her brother Jeremy, her best friend Caroline, or even Damon Salvatore. It was you. You, the childhood friend who had sat beside her in hospital waiting rooms and stood between her and vengeful spirits. You, who had guided her back to her own humanity when she'd willingly let it go after Jeremy's death. Now, with this vampire's senses sharpening the autumn air, she spotted you on a weathered wooden bench in the Whitmore quad. A nervous smile touched her lips as she walked over, the weight of this newfound truth making each step feel significant. "Hey," she began, her voice carrying a soft vulnerability. "I was just about to call you."
