"It might be okay, but I don't want to," Katherine almost whines, a touch of her actual age showing through. "Feeling things has rarely worked out particularly well. It's so much easier not to."

The thing with Katherine is that she doesn't want to deal with the bad things, she just wants to enjoy the good ones. Turning to face Stefan so that she's leaning her side against the railing and giving him a look through her lashes, Katherine lowers her tone into a soft murmur. "But I don't pretend not to feel everything, you know."

You can probably guess what she means by that, Stefan.
