He's not disappointed when he opens her door at seven am, she's putting on a jacket Caroline had sent her a week weeks prior. She's ready to go. Caroline had great taste, Elijah would admit. Although her attempts to get him into anything other than suits was admirable, he was stubborn-Elena had called it. He liked to call it a preference. He knew what he liked.

He notes her luggage, and bright eyes.

"Are we taking the jet?" She asks, as she picks up the bags. He nods, taking one of the bags for her.

"Woo!" She cheers. She can't quite stand commercial flights yet, there's too many people. A lot of blood. He understands.

It's nice, being a vampire, she thinks as he opens the trunk and they set her luggage in it. Her first year, she was working at a newspaper she wasn't fond of before she ran into him-when he ran into her again he asked her to trust him with her financials. She doesn't need to worry about money, not with whatever Elijah did to her bank account-investments in the right places apparently. She thanked him, he waved it off. Just a little favor in his mind.

She asks, a tone of excitement in her voice, if she can choose the music on the road trip part. When they get back to the States. He says yes, wondering if he'll regret the decision later. He's not sure if he will though, almost anything that makes Elena smile can't be that bad.
