Elena and Matt in “Unfinished Business”

Elena

Just say it.

Matt

I just don't get it. Your thing with them.

Elena

I know it doesn't make sense. But at the beginning, after my parents died, there was something about being with Stefan that just, felt safe.

Matt

Safe? Elena, he's a vampire.

Elena

I know. Believe me, just saying it out loud, sounds crazy. But- It's like I knew that he would never, stop loving me. Like he would never-

Matt

What?

Elena

Die. Like he would never die.

Matt

Like your parents did. And Damon?

Elena

Damon just, sort of snuck up on me. He got under my skin and no matter what I do, I just, I can't shake him.

Matt

Once you fall in love with someone, I don't know, I don't know if you can ever shake them.
