[Sam doesn't say anything in response. There isn't much he can say to something like that, and he supposes it was just a matter of time before they got to the crux of the issue here.
The Drake brothers are no stranger to loss, but Sam can count the number of people who actually mattered on one hand. Although he wasn't as close, he knows Elena is one of them.
Sam looks at Nathan, then scoots closer, resting his hand on the back of his neck and giving it a tight squeeze. It's not entirely comforting, he knows, but hopefully it's enough to let him know that he's there for him.]
