Sarah's POV
I start talking like in delirium until his firm hand touches the side of my face making me instantly stop.
Damon: Sarah!
He gives me a weak smile and I feel like I instantly melt.
Damon: I was mad. At first..a lot. I didn't know how to handle it! And so I ended up handling it poorly. It's the first time in my whole damn life that I feel that way! And I am almost ten years older than you!
Now I am the one who can't resist smiling.
Damon: I just -
He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes before continuing
Damon: I just wish you would trust me earlier! I would help you! Hell! I always will!
And I don't want anything between us to end! No! The exact opposite! Do you know how I spend those days away from you? Counting down the seconds so I would finally go to an empty bed and I could dream of you! Don't you see?
The passion in his voice, the pain, and the love I see in his eyes cause some tears to swell up in my eyes.
