Katherine was standing in front of Ric’s loft. She was practicing her speech and gathering her courage.
“Come on, Katherine” she told herself. “Just go in there and tell him আপনি প্রণয় him” She pushed the latch down and entered.
“Stefan?” she called.
“I’m in here” Stefan replied from out of the living room. Katherine walked further into the room. Stefan was standing against the closet. He was alone. “I didn’t expect you, but I’m glad you’re here”
“Really?” Katherine asked hopeful. She couched to restore herself. “There’s something I have to tell you”
“Funny, I have to tell আপনি something too” Stefan said. “But আপনি first”
Katherine swallowed and took Stefan’s hands in hers. “I প্রণয় you, Stefan. I always have. I know I have had a lot of বিছানা partners, but I have only loved you. I’m a liar and দুশ্চরিত্রা and I’m selfish and আপনি can’t trust, but if I’m ever honest, it’s now. I প্রণয় you, Stefan, and I know somewhere deep down, আপনি still প্রণয় me. The Stefan I met and fell in প্রণয় with, is still in there. I know আপনি প্রণয় me”
“Katherine” Stefan ব্যক্ত soft. He had to bring this carefully, but then Rebekah came barging in from out of the kitchen. She ran to Katherine and waved her hand before her eyes. A small, diamond ring adorned her right ring finger.
“Have আপনি heard?” Rebekah asked beaming. “Stefan proposed to me”
Katherine let go of Stefan and looked at him shocked. She walked backwards, her chest going up and down.
“Katherine” Stefan repeated, but Katherine shook her head and turned around. She opened the door and left.
