"Easy. So easy. Just say you missed me as much as I missed you."

He walked in, grabbing both of her hands. She looked down at their hands.

"I remember pain." She said, removing her hands from his. "I remember all the terrible things you did. I honestly don't remember anything good about us. I thought if I saw you in person, it might change everything, but..."

"Maybe you just need a little more time."

"Stefan, I know that I loved you. Everyone has told me. Our love consumed me." She says.

"Yeah."

"And I know that, apparently, I forgave you for all the awful things you did..." She said, trailing off.

"Yeah."

"But I just don't remember it. I'm sorry, I... I just don't... feel it anymore. I'm sorry." She tells him.

"Yeah. Me too. Um... yeah."

"Stefan, I'm... I really am sorry." She said, grabbing the door.

"Subjective. Sometimes I was being funny."

"You killed Damon's fake girlfriend on Elena and Ellie's birthdays. Granted, your humanity was off." Ric says.
