He could feel how the pair of honey-brown eyes burned holes in his back, yet it didn't matter for him at all. His heartbeat raced, his thought stormed within his head and his senses blurred.

After a long moment, Damon blinked rapidly and slowly released his hold on Elena's wrist in silence. His breaths were loud and his eyebrows furrowed before he raised his gaze to Elena's eyes and spoke confidently. "Come. We're going home."
