I love finding out what's in authors' heads as they write!
I wanted to get across that while Elena is forgiving and compassionate she's was also a little ruthless and thinking strategically. He sees that in himself.
Definitely! Elena can be very ruthless when she needs to be - so many fans seem to forget that!
