Elena tenses visibly at Anna's answer. No, Anna doesn't really need to say it.

It was more complicated than that, of course. It wasn't strictly over her and she knows that. Damon's anger came at the fact he chose to go with Elena when the end of the world came, and the rifts decided to split them up. The world he ended up in was cruel, and she wouldn't wish it on anyone, not even Damon. It doesn't excuse his actions, and Elena will always hold him accountable for them, but she grows tense at the reminder all the same.

She wants to ask if that's how they fought over Katherine, but does she really want to know? Does she really want to admit she's wondered?

"It's not going to happen again," she says. Elena is going to make sure of that.
