After Duncan rushed out of the McDonalds he got into his car and started driving. He took his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed Katy's number. The phone rang twice before an answer.

"Hello?" said a sleepy voice from the other end of the line.

"Katy, we need to talk." Duncan replied.

"Duncan? What's wrong? Where are you?" The voice was now more alert.

"I'll be there in a minute so we can talk."

"Ok." Katy hung the phone up. She sat down on the nearest chair. Katy knew what Duncan was going to say. Ever since she met Maryssa and after Duncan talked about her like that. She realized that it wasn't going to work out for them when Maryssa's husband wasn't at the party. She was extremely upset but knew that those two were destined to be together. She looked at the ring on her finger. Tears slipped down her cheeks as she took it off of her finger, she loved Duncan but wouldn't stand in the way of true love. There was a knock at the door and she stood up. When she finally reached the door Duncan was standing there. He saw her crying face and wished he didn't have to do what he was about to do.

"Katy I-"

"Duncan please just here." She thrust the ring into his hand and meant to close the door but Duncan put his foot in the way.

"Wait! I want you to know that I love you but I have to try and make this work with Maryssa. I have known her since I was 14. I still haven't got over her. I know you understand because I know you. You're an understanding person and that's one of the reasons I love you." Duncan stepped forward and hugged her. She wrapped her arms around him and cried into his shoulder.

"I understand." She said softly and pulled away. He smiled at her and turned to the door. "I love you too." She whispered as she watched him get in his car and drive away. Duncan started his car and drove hurriedly to Maryssa's. He dropped Katy's ring in the cup holder. Minutes later he was stopped in front of Maryssa's house. He took a deep breath and pushed his door open. He walked out onto the grass and to the door. He knocked on it twice. Emma came to the door in her pajamas.

"Duncan?" Emma asked.

"Is Maryssa here?" Duncan wondered.

"Yeah." Emma left from in front of the door and Maryssa reappeared a minute later.

"Duncan what are yo-" He cut her off by meeting her lips with his. She was taken back and pulled away. "Why are you here?" She had tears pouring down from her eyes now.

"Will you marry me?" Maryssa looked stunned. She started crying harder.

"What about Katy?"

"I already talked to her and she understands that I love you."

"Your honestly serious about this and your not going to like leave me at the alter or anything?"

"I wouldn't dream of it!" He said with a hopeful smile on his face.

"Well then yes!" She exclaimed jumping into his arms. She hugged him and then kissed him. They went back into the house and closed the door. Emma watched them run upstairs. She immediately ran to the phone and dialed Sunny's number. Violet answered.

"Hello?"

"Violet is Sunny there this is important."

"Emma? Does Maryssa know your using the phone?"

"No! She's kind of busy. Duncan just proposed to her!"

"What?"

"Duncan proposed to her. He told her that he talked to Katy and that she under stood because he loved her."

"Oh my god! I can't believe it. What are you doing?"

"Well nothing because I'm kind of grounded."

"I'll have Quigley pick you up so they can have some alone time. Get your stuff and you can stay over here."

"Ok. Bye." Emma hung up the phone. She walked into the next room, her room, and started to pack her stuff for Sunny's. She then wrote a note and left it on the door. Emma walked out of the house and sat on the front step. A few minutes later Quigley's car drove up on the street and Emma walked over to it. She got into the front seat and Quigley drove away.

"He really did it huh?" Quigley asked.

"Yup. I was surprised myself." Emma answered.

"I wonder how Katy took it?"

"I don't think too bad considering he showed up in one piece." Quigley laughed and they arrived back at the house and Emma rushed out of the car and found Sunny in the living room waiting.

"What happened?" Sunny asked immediately. Emma explained in detail exactly everything that happened from the moment she opened the door to the moments after she said yes. "Wow I can't believe it!"

"Me neither!"

"Maybe you and Maryssa will move here! When Klaus and Isadora go to New York the whole downstairs apartment will be empty!"

"Yeah!" Emma and Sunny started excitedly discussing their plans if Emma and Maryssa moved in downstairs while Violet watched happily thinking that maybe she was too hard on Sunny.
