It's been two weeks since she's arrived in Darrow and Elena can already tell that being put on forced house arrest is creating a little bit of tension between her and Damon. She's reluctantly agreed to drink from the vein, but only because when she'd tried to do it from a blood bag, she'd gotten sick on it and made a mess everywhere, ruining her clothes. She'd had to scrub the blood out of the tiles in the apartment for hours afterwards. It feels like she's been pretty limited, choice-wise. Add that to the part where she's still lacking a daylight ring and she's running outside the minute it gets dark just to feel like she can breathe again.
It's why, when Damon suggests they go out tonight, she doesn't hesitate. She does offer him a questioning look when he tells her to dress up a little the day before, but obliges on the night of. As they pull up to the nightclub in his car, she figures it out.
"How did you find this place?" she asks, swiveling in the front seat to face him before lifting a hand. "You know what? I promised I wouldn't ask questions tonight," she adds, off his look, "so this is me, throwing that question away. No questions. I'm just going to do things." Doing instead of thinking sounds like a superior idea at the moment, especially since there are a lot of things she's done in the past week that she'd rather not think about.
