I'm not keeping him out of that. He will be there. Him and his girlfriend already are.

( He won't be able to leave him without. )

[Cami decides not to push. They will probably have to have many, many sessions about Stefan, but she'll leave things there for now.

Having Stefan present is one thing. Trusting him to emotionally be there for Damon seems to be another thing entirely.]

Okay. Just making sure.

[unforgivably]

I'm sure. Stefan's sure. If he wants to do the brother bonding thing, nephew, what have you, I won't stop him.

( They can be good to each other. They probably will be. )

[bravebartender]

Okay.

[So long as he's open to it.]

You have my number. If you need to call because things go awry, reach out. It's what I'm here for.

[unforgivably]

Mmm, you're here so I stay this version of myself and not fall back into old, unhealthy ( violent ) patterns. ( why does he have to change her definitions and boundaries when she gives them to him. ) But, I'll remember you are. In case I need emergency shrinking.

[bravebartender]

Good. And since we probably won't speak before then, Merry Christmas, Damon.

[And with that, we will call this section of shrink sessions to a close.]
