Yeah, that's...probably a good idea. I don't even know if it would work if you took right now since this is technically a dream.

( would it make just this version of her human and the actual elena that exists in the real world would still be a vampire? it's too much to think about and probably too big a chance to take on something so valuable. )

I can't speak for Caroline — ( though he's pretty sure he knows what her answer would be. ) — but I think that time for me has passed. Keep it for yourself, Elena. Bonnie gave it to you. It's yours.
