Kat walked over to the lake.
"He told me he loved me that day. Form that day we were courting. His
mother was pleased." She looked back at Willow. "William was fifteen
years older than I. He always loved my buttermilk skin, button nose.
However, what he loved were my blue-gray eyes. He said they reminded him
of the ocean in the summertime. He was so shy and timid, but I loved him
to death. You see he was there when my father was killed. He was my
rock." She smiled to herself. She walked back to Willow who was sitting
on the bank. "But he never backed out of a fight when he was needed."
London, England 1872 "Billy catch!" She threw a wooden stake at William and watched him caught it. With one final swoop, he dug the stake into the monster's chest and into the heart, and the vampire slowly dissipated into dust. She looked at him as he brushed himself off. He asked, "is that all of them?" Kat picked up her ruined satin shawl. "Yeah it is. Bloody vamp broke my bustle." "I can see that." She could sense something odd in his voice. "Kitty?" She turned around and saw William on one knee. "Oh my, Billy what..." He interrupted by covering her left hand in his. She knew what he was going to do and she wondered why he would pick here of all settings to propose to her. "Kitty, I have always loved you. You are everything to me. Will you do I the honor and become my wife? I know this is not a good time but every time I try, we end up in a mess like this. That is why I had tickets to see the ballet. I was going to tell you after it." He chuckled. "But oh well this was as good a time as any." He opened his palm and placed the diamond solitaire on her finger. His ice- blue eyes shined at her under his small-wired framed spectacles as he looked up at her. "Will you?" She started to cry and could only nod as she went into his arms.
