Elena is right, however. It is okay. Just because it feels like she's back there doesn't mean she's not okay. She worked through it. She had her girls. It's not okay that it happened, but Elena has asked. So far, Elena's diverged from Jenna and it sounds like instead of denying her feelings and being drawn closer to Damon, she found a sun God. Good for her. Damon is still family, Damon will always be family. And she is so happy for the life Elena's made for herself. But, that is that Elena.
