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 toi l’amour 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 toi something too” Stefan said. “But toi first”
Katherine swallowed and took Stefan’s hands in hers. “I l’amour you, Stefan. I always have. I know I have had a lot of lit partners, but I have only loved you. I’m a liar and chienne and I’m selfish and toi can’t trust, but if I’m ever honest, it’s now. I l’amour you, Stefan, and I know somewhere deep down, toi still l’amour me. The Stefan I met and fell in l’amour with, is still in there. I know toi l’amour me”
“Katherine” Stefan a dit 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 toi 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.
