Stefan and Elena in “Unfinished Business”

Stefan

Well, I, uh, I certainly hope your family history was happier than mine.

Elena

Well, let's see. In the last three years, I lost my adoptive parents, my birth parents, my aunt, our guardian Alaric, and my brother Jeremy died, although he came back to life, so there's that.

Stefan

Wait. Jeremy that lives in our house?

Elena

Yeah. After I had a breakdown and burned my house to the ground.

Stefan

Hmm.

Elena

What?

Stefan

How do I not remember you? I mean, you're smart, you're pretty, you're funny. Obviously, you're the strongest woman in the world if you managed to figure out a way to get through all that.

Elena

I surround myself with amazing people who help me through it. Like you. You're one of those people.

Stefan

So bonded by death? Please don't tell me that we meet in a cemetery. (Elena grins) Really? We met in a cemetery?

Elena

Well, no. Officially, we met somewhere else first, but... Um, you want to see?

Stefan

Yeah, sure.
