[ after everything that she's experienced in the last week alone, elena wants to be able to feel exhausted. it irritates her that history seems to be repeating itself once more; being pitted in the middle of two grown ass men who are way older than her is something she doesn't crave, no matter what anyone says.

I appreciate your concern about what you felt he had implied when he spoke to you, but I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by coming to me about my friend. I don't appreciate feeling like you're trying to pit me against the only person that I know from home with the threat of having receipts. I don't know what these receipts are, but I don't believe you have anything to be suspicious about. If you have a problem with Elijah, go talk to Elijah.

[ be a grown ass man. ]
