[ Watching Caroline cry just makes Chloe's heart break more but she keeps her face even, thoughtful as she listens to her and watches her wipe away the tears. To say she isn't angry; not angry, livid, would be a lie. Livid and disappointed. ]
What you did was reckless and selfish. You could have killed someone. You could have died. Do you have any idea how irresponsible your actions were?
[ Chloe gets it. Hell, there are times when she would have given anything to be able to turn off her emotions, to not have to feel that pain. But that didn't make it better. Ignoring it or not feeling it didn't make it go away.
Of course, Caroline obviously knows that too, now. Bubbly, sweet Caroline, who came to Chloe's door to thank her for looking out for Elena. Chloe could never see her as a monster. ]
Just... [ Chloe takes a breath, holding up one finger before she gets up from the table. She just needs a minute, needs to take a breath. Chloe walks to the counter and puts in another order, and when she comes back, she's holding two plates with pieces of chocolate cake.
Chloe sets one of the plates in front of Caroline and sits back down, taking another deep breath. ]
Chocolate cake always makes my kid feel better when she's sad. [ Chloe pushes a fork across the table to her. ] I'm not going to say I'm not disappointed. I am. But you're not alone in this, Caroline. And I know that no matter what you do, Elena and Klaus care about you, too. You aren't alone.
