But then she remembered something else, just a flash: looking up at Damon’s face in the woods and feeling such—such excitement, such affinity with him. As if he understood the flame that burned inside her as nobody else ever could. As if together they could do anything they liked, conquer the world or destroy it; as if they were better than anyone else who had ever lived.

Stefan was looking at her, and his expression had changed from belligerence to bitter anger and fear.

But she wasn’t doing it. ↗
