Kate wants to thank Alan for what he did, but in her own way, one that she later regrets.
Kate walked up to Alan, who was sitting all by himself, resting against a tree, and thinking. He heard her coming and apologized. "I'm sorry, Kate, for all the trouble."
Kate sat down next to him. "You shouldn't be sorry." She said. "I shouldn't have treated you like trash instead of the friend that you are." But her words didn't seem to comfort him. She sat to her knees and moved up in front of Alan, who was leaning his arms on the ground and staring at his feet through the pace his legs made. She rested one hand on his knee and lay the other upon his cheek. He seemed to protest her invitation and lay his head to the tree truck, her hand didn't touch his cheek anymore, he looked amazed. Kate brought her head in front of Alan's, who understood and made the finale step. Moving his head back up and kissing her softly on her lips. They both seemed to enjoy it, alhtough it wasn't long.
"Do you forgive me?" Kate asked, as they both stopped and looked at each other from so close by. There was no 'in love puppy' look going 'round in her eyes, which Alan did show.
"I do." Alan said, one hand rested on her neck and the other against her warm cheek. He moved in closer again, he knew she must have felt what he felled that moment, something at least.
But Kate turned her head to the side. This wasn't meant to be, it was a mistake. She loved Robin, not Alan, or did she? She stood up again, confused by her own action. Not laughing, not crying. "This changes nothing." She said, and left.
Tears fell down Alan's cheek and he held one hand in front of his eyes while he wept. He failed, she would never love him.
The End
