We try to avoid gossip items at TV Fanatic. It's our job to report on the latest show spoilers, post the most memorable quotes and satisfy readers' cravings for the most buzz-worth spoilers.

But then Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev go off and vacation together in Paris (with their moms, no less!) and we have no choice but to post photos of the adorable couple.

Check out the pair below and consider what Nina had to say about Elena and Damon's kiss on the season two finale. What will it mean for the fall?

“It’s going to be about explaining and figuring out why she did that. I can definitely say that it was a very bittersweet, beautiful, short-lived interrupted moment that we’ll have to play with and see why it happened later.”
