Maybe... she'd bitten off more than she could chew with this conversation.
Things are only just starting to move in her mind, little flickers of emotion that she can't connect with yet, things that are so similar to what she'd felt with Stefan earlier and yet so very different. Hearing that she was in love with someone else, well that wasn't too difficult to grasp, especially when she believed everything Damon had said. But this, these declarations about a future that sounded so perfect-- Somehow they were just a little too much for her after the day she'd been having.
But how could she explain that to him?
She set her hand on his on her knee, visibly struggling with what to say. "Damon, I--" And then she was saved, not by the ringing of a phone or the sudden return of the husband who wasn't really her husband, but by the sound of her stomach loudly announcing that it was empty and something needed to be done about it. She clapped her free hand over her abdomen, as if that might hide the sound, and then... she laughed. It bubbled up out of her, a release of stress and tension and all the tangled emotions she'd been feeling the past few hours, and she felt ridiculous but didn't even try to stop as her eyes began to water.
