Elena: He is. Eyes on me, handsome.
Scott: I’m doing my best. I… I love him. I just can’t do better right now. I’ve been honest.
Elena: I know. And he’s so in love with you that he’ll put up with it. But it’s killing him. I’m not saying any of this to be mean, I’m really not. And you seem great. But he’s great too. He deserves the best. He deserves sunshine. And so do you.

Book vs TV Series
This emotional scene between Elena and Scott was made up just for the show. The book mentions she is worried, and she talked about it to Kip, but she didn’t meet with Scott. This dialogue is more similar to a conversation Scott and Kip have in the book, about being miserable, deserving better, and not knowing how to solve it.
