[Stefan stares at that text for a while, trying to figure out how to say it, because well. He never did tell Allen about Elena.]

I'm hanging in there. It's been a rough week.

Did something happen?

Elena went home a couple of days ago.

[The truth's the best thing, especially when it's said so straight-forward, right?]

I know I didn't talk about her much, but it's weird not seeing her around.

Oh no, the girl from that memory I saw..?

I'm sorry, Stefan. That can't be easy.

[stefanged]

Right. We're not exactly dating anymore, but she was my world for the longest time.

There was so much I never got to say to her, and now, I'm wondering if I ever will.

...I'm sorry. I know how that feels. It's not easy.

No, it isn't.

Thanks for checking in on me, Allen, but I don't think I'll be able to lead services this week.

Of course I'd check in on you. We're friends!

And I can understand that. [And there's a long pause. On one hand, Allen really hates public speaking. Exorcists really weren't trained to give sermons. Even his blood drive broadcasts aren't live, they're recorded with several takes before he uploads the best one. But on the other hand, Stefan is his friend and you're always supposed to help your friends... ] Do you...want me to do them this week?

I know. It still means a lot.

[He kind of doesn't have friends back home. This is all new to him!]

If you want to? TBH I was going to cancel it and print out something for a self-guided reflection. I wouldn't want you going the extra mile for me.
