"If Stefan Salvatore and my son's girlfriend's sister can stay here when they visit. I think for the holidays, but the date's haven't yet been determined.")
[Sam's eyes flit between the two younger Gilberts and Dawn and he hesitates, though it's likely not for the reason the two elder Gilberts will read into it. It's not as though the Winchesters are big Christmas people, but Mary will probably be back from Battlecreek for the holidays - she likes Christmas, and he's trying for his mom.
So them plus the Gilberts, plus Dawn, plus whoever else might happen to stumble in is a lot of people and Elena can see the very tall introvert trying to navigate what the right answer to this question is.
He's still trying to get used to having all these people in their space on a regular basis. Spend fifteen years on the road with just your brother and you lose your tolerance for living on top of people.
Elena smirks. "It's your house. You are allowed to say no, Sam."
He flashes her a grateful look.]
It's not that we don't trust Stefan. It's just that it's a lot of people. We'll see when they get here? It's probably not going to be hard to book a hotel room if they have to.

( And, speaking of, maybe it's time to let this all go. )
I'm gonna get Dawn unpacked and we'll see everyone for dinner?

Yes. That sounds like an excellent plan. After which I will hobble off into the library and investigate the books.
[And Jeremy may ... loose his girlfriend to the books for a while, but it's okay. They have a long vacation together.]
