The next morning, they wake up to the smell of pancakes, and Elena wakes up to a text from Elijah. Her heart clenches painfully, and if he were anyone else she'd consider deleting it and ignoring him until her heart healed.
But it's Elijah. The man who saved her life over and over and her ally. She opens it, wondering if she's masochistic while Caroline stretches. He heard about her near death experience and wondered about her wellbeing. Also, if she would like to do lunch again the next Saturday. Part of her jumps for joy while the other part, the larger part, remembers that he's dying.
