"I think...we should talk." He doesn't intend that to sound like a breakup line, but it does. This isn't that though, not by a longshot. Stefan is essentially the catalyst for Archie's dad dying, and he can't just ignore it or play it off like it doesn't matter.

He isn't Damon.

"I'm really sorry for what happened to your dad. I feel awful, Elena feels awful, and we both just want to make things better for you. As better as they can be in this situation."

Letting out a sigh, Stefan gestures to the threshold of the door. "But you gotta -- uh -- invite me in. I'll answer any questions you have about all this stuff, too."
