V. BACK TO YOU
Stuart and Charlie were worried. Kate had come back a week ago, and she didn't seem fine. She wasn't eating, she didn't want to talk, she was crying very often, and she was in fact starting to get sick. Stuart didn't know what had happened while she was on the 19th century, but he knew that something very very bad had happened, something so bad it made her come back.
Back in 1876, Leopold sighed. It was now or never. This was the day, this was the moment. "Otis, aunt Matilda, I will go for a short walk. I won't be gone long" Otis nodded, knowing what this meant. Leopold's aunt approached him and gave him a hug "Everything is going to be fine, sweetheart" she said. "Yes aunt. It will be" said Leopold kissing her forehead "I'll come back by dinnertime" he finally said.. He knew he had to hurry, he didn't have that much time.
"Wash away the thoughts inside,
That keep my mind away from you…
No more love, and no more pride……
And thoughts are all I have to do…."
After finally reaching the bridge, Leopold climbed his way to the top. And then, without hesitation, he leaped. Kate had come back for him. Now, now was his turn.
In Kate's time things were actually not going quite well. "She won't talk to me" said a very worried Charlie to Stuart. "My God. We need to do something. At this rate she will make herself ill" replied Stuart. "Yes, she surely will" agreed Charlie. Before Stuart could answer, he heard a knock on the door.
He opened the door to see a very tired-looking Leopold standing there. "My God, Leo!. Hey Charlie, I think we might just be lucky today, look who just got here!" said Stuart. Charlie turned around to see Leopold. "Hello Charles, Stuart. Always a pleasure to see you both gentlemen" said Leopold. "Hey, Leo!. God, I'm so glad that you are here. Please, you have to help us. It's Kate. I don't what happened there in your time, but it must have been some hard stuff, Leo, because I've never seen her this depressed" said Charlie. "My uncle is what happened, Charles. He doesn't like the idea of me marrying Kate. He told her to leave. He told her that she was unworthy of me and my family, which is ludicrous. I am here to convince Kate otherwise. To convince her of the truth, and the truth is that I love her, and I won't leave this time without her. I need to get her back" said Leopold. "And for that," Leopold continued "I am going to need you two gentlemen helping me. I think I have a plan that might just work" finished Leopold.
Leopold wanted to do something very special for Kate, but in order to do that he would need for her to get out of her house, so his plan could work.
Charlie already knew what Leopold's plan was. He was angry at Leopold's uncle for doing this to Kate. But he knew Leopold loved Kate, and his actions spoke by themselves. Boy did this duke had guts!. There was no way he would do something like that on a natural basis, but Leopold was going to. Now all that was left to do was to give the plan a little push. He would get Kate out of the house.
He got into the apartment and started calling for her. Kate finally came out of her room, looking like a million broken hearts. Charlie saw this, but he knew there was no time to waste. He only hoped Leopold's plan would work.
