The prompt for this chapter is: "Is that your costume?"
She's speechless as she looks at him. He looks too perfect. Caroline did not spare any expense on the costumes she stuffed them all into.
He's the prince of the Disney movie she's wearing a dress from. Caroline lacks subtlety but the fact that it's so glaringly obvious makes her stop.
"Elena?" He asks.
"Is that your costume?" She asks, and he nods, looking down at it.
"It was not my idea, it was Caroline's. Is there something wrong with it?" He asks and she shakes her head.
"I'll talk to Caroline after this. I think my dress is too tight. I can't breathe." She tells him.
He frowns at that, but Klaus and Caroline begin to toast. Elena lets out a quiet laugh. Caroline is Cinderella. Of course.
She understands that she's been slow in trying to date Elijah, but Caroline implying her feelings before she confesses them is not what she wants.
