It takes her a while to arrive at the decision. They start dating when she is nineteen and she vows to stay human as long as she can. But the years pass, and there are good things about that. Each day they grow closer, and she falls more in love with him. He proposes, and she doesn't even have to think about what to say—she can't imagine marrying anyone else.
On the other hand, the years pass and she gets older while he doesn't. She gets closer and closer to her 25th birthday; how old Damon was when he turned.
The day before her birthday all she can hear is Lexi's voice, from so many years ago, telling her that if you wanted to be with someone forever…
She does. She cannot bear the thought of living without him. She knows he will stay with her until the end, but she doesn't want there to be an end. As long as there is Damon, there will be Elena.
"Are you sure you want this?" He asks her. "I'll still love you just as much, no matter what you choose."
"I want this," she tells him confidently. "I want you, Damon. All of you. Forever and always."
"God I love you." He tells her, picking her up and cradling her to his body before leaning into kiss her, and as he kisses her he erases any of her lingering doubts.
She is ready to spend eternity with him.
