Taryn continued pestering Katherine and Kat kept denying that anything was wrong. “I know something went down. So come on, what is it? It sounded like you were having a stroke, and it sure looked like you were getting stroked, if you know what I mean,” Taryn chuckled. “Drop it, Tee. I said Nothing happened. I told you I'm just thirsty. End of story.” “You're thirsty alright. You were looking at Aiden as if you wanted to drink him all up,” Taryn giggled. “Stop it,” Kat slapped her playfully. “Look at your face. You're as red as a tomato,” Taryn taunted. “And I sure as hell didn't remember applying any blush on you.” “Nate and Nola O'Hare,” The MC called, and the place erupted in applauses and cat calls. The twins walked onto the stage and collected their prizes. Kat, Taryn, and the grandparents all stood up and cheered. Aiden gave them hugs and whispered something to both of them.

He then exited the vehicle and went to open Katherine's door. He helped her out of the car and watched as her face lit up with awe as she admired the place. “Wow! This place is amazing.”

YES! YES! YES! The answer screamed inside Katherine's head the moment Aiden popped the question. Well, it wasn't 'THE' question, but it was still a big one. Aiden just asked her to be his girlfriend. But was she ready to be someone else's? All these years she was known as a single mother, Mrs. O'Hare, a widow; Nile's Widow to be exact. But was she ready to be Aiden Windsor's girlfriend? What does being someone's girlfriend entail? She was out of the game for so long she didn't have the first clue what to do. Her eyes finally refocused on Aiden, who seemed to be turning blue while he was still propped on one knee. His face was flushed and had sweat all over it. He was so handsome, she thought to herself as she admired him. She was certain she had feelings for him, plus she definitely enjoyed spending time with him.
