Damon & Elena
The Vampire Diaries

"She remembered him. He was the one who understood her, who loved her. He was the one she wanted to be with forever. His face appeared out of the mists in her mind. She considered it lovingly...The very thought of him seemed to warm her. There was a fire inside him that few people could see. She saw it, though. It was like the fire inside her." (the struggle)
