Damon is ready to give Elena what she wants. It is less about being ready, more about being too busy dealing with everything else going on. If he really let it settle into his skull, it would be one more thing to grieve, one more thing to be angry about, one more thing to attack someone over.
Because that is what he does.
It's what Elena told him shortly before he snapped her brother's neck.
And she was right. One wouldn't think a girl so young could be so right so frequently. It's annoying. But Damon has enough other things on his mind that he can push away the hurt that tries to curl in when he thinks of how she stepped away, when she thinks of how she is done with him, and he doesn't fool himself into thinking that it will be different this time.
They had barely repaired their... friendship from what he did to Jeremy before she fell through the Rift.
They're on rocky territory again. They're on nonexistent territory, and they have a Society swirling over them and all the power, all the control, all that money is now in his hands. He doesn't let himself forget that as he moves to wherever Elena is whether it be in the Tower or in Martha's house.
It's been a week since she walked away with that air of finished surrounding her, and Damon needs to return the necklace to her even if he has no plans of compelling er again. Vicki is here too, and he doesn't trust her slightly.
Damon never thought he would use compulsion on her either so better safe, safe from him too even if it means protecting her is more difficult.
He looks for her without expecting this interaction to go any longer than their last ones did.
And again >>"
