Fred has no reason not to trust me, Lana. Things have...they've been going really well. I wouldn't want to jeopardise that. She knows that what I had with Lilah is in the past. Just like what she had with Charles is in the past.
She knows how I feel about her. Maybe at the housewarming she didn't, but she does now.
You're right, Lilah does take care of herself. But it was my fault I didn't suspect something sooner. I thought she'd been cheating on me, letting a vampire feed on her willingly. And I did nothing to dig further into what was really going on with her. She tried to tell me. But she couldn't because of the compulsion. So excuse me if I still feel some responsibility for her wellbeing.
[There's a long pause and a sigh.]
She doesn't have anyone else to turn to, Lana. Like Damon, she's not exactly seen as a people person.
