[ elena has been on tenterhooks ever since she received josie's message.
to her credit, she stays put, knowing it's far more important for the girls — how she loves your girls, caroline — to reunite with their mother. elena has done her best to protect and nurture and be there for them, but nothing replaces the hole in your heart that just longs for your mom. they both know that all too well.
still, she hasn't seen her best friend in years.
it's been literal years for elena, and so she allows herself this selfish and unspoiled joy. no sooner there's a knock on the door and she hears her name, elena is opening it. before caroline has so much as finished her sentence, elena is already embracing her, falling into her like the longest of sighs. ] Caroline.
