Catherine looked over the rim of her tea cup at Ichabod. His eyes were downward staring into his cup. He looked ashamed of what he did. She felt it. She knew. She wanted to hug him and tell him that he shouldn't be ashamed. She wanted to feel loved. She lowered her head and felt tears come to her eyes.
"Catherine?" Ichabod asked quietly. Catherine looked up.
"Yes?"
"About earlier…"
"I thank you… You've helped me in my time of need more than once. I don't know if I could ever repay you," she said, setting her cup on a table.
"Your welcome, but… I was thinking…"
"Perhaps you were thinking that you wish your lie to come true?" Catherine asked.
"In a less elaborate way, yes."
Catherine smiled and stood. She grabbed Ichabod's hands and pulled him up.
"Then I accept."
