emotion, raw and grievous, clenches in her chest. it sticks in her throat, and forsakes all words, as she processes what caroline has said. elena thinks of caroline and sheriff forbes repairing their fractured relationship, brick by painstaking brick. she thinks of the kindness in the sheriff's voice when she and jeremy stepped into her kitchen after their parents died, offering the forbes home to be their own. she thinks, and feels, and mourns, eyes threatening to fill. ]
You haven't disappointed me. [ it's the furthest thing from her mind. ]
Caroline, I'm so sorry. [ if it happened in college, then that was years and years ago for caroline. but having just heard of this loss, she can't not express her sorrow. ]
