Erika sat there silently as Stefan spoke, her hands in her lap as she looked down at them as she thought about what they both said. When Erika set her mind to something, she was stubborn to change it, but she knew this was the right thing to do, for both of them. After a moment, Erika looked up at Stefan. "For all these years I had dreamt, literally dreamt you weren't dead and the reunion we'd have. Living in the past kept me from tearing humans apart just for the hell of it" she began. "But you're here, you're not the same as you were then and neither am I, but you are right Stefan. We can't keep living in the past if we want any kind of future together, we need to look forward instead of looking behind us because we're not going that way" she admitted softly. Erika briefly glanced at her fumbling hands then back up to him "So what do we do now?" She asked him with a small smile.
Tyler saw Emily leaning in and smiled as he did the same to meet her halfway and gladly kissed her back. It was a good few minutes before they gently and hesitantly pulled apart to breath. Tyler nodded as he got out, grabbing his bag from the back before he followed Emily inside the house. "I'm a three time varsity sportsman, what do you think?" He teased at her. Tyler came up beside her and kissed her cheek as they stood in front of the open fridge. "Relax Em, you had food for me earlier and stayed in the cellar all night, I can dig up something out of the Gilbert family fridge" he teased at her a little. "If anyone should be resting today it should be you" he added.
