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