His expression flickered from admiration to confusion to something darker when he finally took in the details of her gown. He titled his head. "That's…new." Louise hesitated under his gaze deciding to adjust one of her gloves. "Klaus…h—he sent it for me to wear tonight." Damon's jaw clenched as he stepped closer, his blue eyes narrowing with that dangerous calm he wore like armour. "He sent it?" Stefan glanced warily between them, sensing the sudden tension. Elena bit her lip, awkwardly looking away. Tangled Diaries 3.14 'Dangerous Liaisons'

You can't be here. You're not real. This is just my subconscious making me see what I want to see, and what I want to see is you. One call from my brother and you want to throw all this away? You know how much I want to see you, Damon. But...this stuff does things to me that I can't explain. It makes me reckless; I hurt people. I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm doing it... So why am I here? Do you wanna move on? Move on! I never got to thank you. For what? You saved Stefan...and Alaric and Tyler. You risked your life for everyone, Damon, and I might be devastated, but I'm also proud. Louise- No. No, I'm not finished yet. I found everything that I could have ever wanted with you and I want to thank you for giving me a love that consumed me, and passion - so much passion that it was simply blinding...an adventure. There's nothing more I could ever want other than for it to last forever, but...it can't. This is the last time I'm going to see you. This has to be goodbye, Damon. I love you. I love you so much, but I have no other choice. I have to let you go. Tangled Diaries 6.01 'I'll Remember'

"I just can't watch when I can do something about it, Damon." Louise spat out. "I'm not saying get yourself some popcorn and watch the festivities, Louise." Damon resorted. "I'm just saying you don't have to run towards the killer with a target painted on you - front and back. All I'm saying is let us try and be awesome, courtesy of our nifty little plan, then maybe Klaus won't even get to come close enough to touch a single hair on your hair. If not then, we figure it out when we get that particular fork in the road - but not a moment sooner. Do you hear me?" The seer closed her eyes and took a deep breath before speaking, feeling Damon's hands fall away as she relaxed. "Do you remember Atlanta?" Tangled Diaries 2.11 ‘By The Light Of The Moon’

"I'm not." he shouted, opening his eyes to find her gaping at him. Sighing helplessly, he brought a hand to her face, trailing his thumb lightly over her cheek as if she might shatter. "I'm not." Surprise robbed her of her passion and anger. "I don't understand. You're not what?" "Ready." he replied as his gaze fell to her delicate throat and the pulse of life that beat there. "I'm not ready to kill you, Louise." There. He'd said it. The confession hung in the air, a living, breathing thing that he couldn't take back. Part of him wanted to. Part of him wanted to say, no wait, that's not right, but it was. It was exactly right. Damon wasn't ready to end Louise's life. The very idea went against everything he'd done almost from the minute he'd met her. Even in the beginning, he'd seen her as little more than a copy of Vivienne, keeping Louise alive had been the motivation behind his every decision. And now he was supposed to not only stop, but take it a step further and actually kill her. Tangled Diaries 3.12 'The Ties That Bind'

I know that you're trying to do. I'm telling the truth. No, you're lying. You're trying to upset me. Tangled Diaries 3.04 'Disturbing Behaviour'

Unable to stand her pain any long, Damon reached out and touched her shoulder gently, his thumb stroking over her shoulder blade. "All this stuff you're managing…You're not supposed to be managing it. You're supposed to be feeling it. The grief, loss, pain. It is normal." Louise's voice broke and she shook her head. "It's not normal." Tangled Diaries 4.15 'Stand By Me'

Louise opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. "Louise," Damon started. "I'm here because I have nowhere else to go. I'm tied to you in ways I don't even understand because you're the only thing keeping me from completely giving up trying to be good. I'm not just fighting for your life, Louise, I'm fighting for mine because it will destroy me to lose you. Saving you means I don't fall to pieces and become the monster I know exists inside of me." Her eyes softened as she gazed up at him. "I'll be fine, Damon." Tangled Diaries 2.20 'The Last Day'

It was unseasonably cold night outside when Louise stepped out. She wasted no time rushing to her car and flicked the heat on, as she drove through the empty, quiet streets of Mystic Falls. Five minute into her drive, she slammed her foot on the breaks when she saw her boyfriend tearing into a woman's neck. He drained every single drop of blood from her body and the woman fell to the ground. Dead. Louise climbed out her car and not bothering to close the car door behind her. "Damon?" Louise gasped. The vampire turned around to face her, blood dripping down his chin. Tangled Diaries 2.12 'The Descent'
