Only time could tell

Janice and Ryan left a little while after that, but not before I promised Ryan to visit him some times. That little guy stole my heart, he’s so adorable. And yes, it is really me thinking this.

That day Cath got e some crutches and I was at least more mobile again, but it was hard. My contused ribs where still hurting. Catherine started working fulltime again, and Catherine’s sister picked Lindsey up at night. Catherine told Jennifer about us and she totally supports ‘us’ which is great to hear as a first reaction. I spend a lot of time with Jenn and we talked about me, and Catherine. She even told me some stories about them growing up.

I notice so many things that had been changing in these last couple of weeks. Ever since Eddie’s murder it has been harder to avoid my feelings for Catherine. Every time I saw her I wanted to comfort her. Pull her into my embrace, and tell her that I love her. And now I was able to do that whenever I wanted. But Catherine was the one that helping me, putting me back together. And dragging me into a social life. I wanted to surprise Catherine, and I asked Jenn for help. I wanted to cook diner like I promised Cath. But of course I wasn’t able to get the things that I needed. So I started planning and Jenn told me that she would think of a reason to get Cath out of the house whenever I wanted.

I decided to make Grilled Mediterranean Vegetables with couscous. Jenn came over that Friday afternoon and dragged Cath and Lindsey to the mall. I had planned what I wanted to do and Jenn would send Cath home at seven that afternoon. I had been working on the dinner all afternoon. And I heard Cath’s car pull up in front of the house. I lightened the match and lit the candles. Catherine opens the door as I start pouring the wine into the glasses. I hand her one of the glasses as she enters the living room. She looked so stunned, so beautiful.

Cath’s POV

I was tired and hungry, and I’m glad that I was home. Jenn took Lindsey and me to the mall. But Lindsey insisted that she would stay at Jenn’s house for the night. Which was weird cause I actually had the night of, I had been neglecting Lindsey in these past weeks. And when I finally had a night of she rather stayed at my sister’s house. I sighed and drove the car onto the driveway and stepped out. I opened the door and a delicious smell flowed into my nose.

I opened the door and saw Sara on the opposite site of the room waiting for me to come in with two glasses of wine in her hands. I kissed her and she handed me one of the glasses.

“So, I guess it worked huh? Now I know why Lindsey wanted to stay with my sister so badly. And why my sister took me to the mall in the first place.”

“Well I promised you that I would cook something vegetarian didn’t I?” I smiled, I was glad that everything worked out and that she hadn’t known what was happening.

“But I have one problem, I can’t get the food into the kitchen, could you please get it?” I sighed while I looked down at the damn crutches I despised those things already. But I would at least need them for another month.

She was standing in front of me and she looked so sad. I cupped her face in my hands and lifted it up. “I want this to be perfect our first real date kind of thing …” She whispered and I was stunned.

“But sweetie, this is perfect. It’s you, me and I’m sure that you made a delicious surprise for me, this couldn’t be more perfect.” I told her while our lips connected in a tender kiss. After a while I’ll let go of her. “We better start that dinner, it would be a shame if we wouldn’t eat it.” She smiled and I knew that if I didn’t get the food out that I would be able to make it to the kitchen at all.
