Carol Steward - Courting Katarina

Yet, before she knew it, Alex had convinced her to let him ride all the way to Montana with her. He and Kevin left, while she and Emily packed.

Katarina added the finishing touches to her portfolio of drawings and tried to make her sister understand why she wanted to find a place of her own. Then Katarina, Emily and Ricky had the oil changed on the car and filled it with gas. On the way home, Katarina took Emily to see the apartment she had looked at to rent. When they returned to Emily’s, the discussion was still going strong.

“You don’t even know how long you’re going to need a place to live, Katarina. And if you do get married, what if Ron doesn’t want to move to Colorado after all? What if you sell your designs to a company that wants you to relocate? Kevin and I don’t mind if you stay here until you’re more certain of your plans.”

“I came here to set up my business, Emily. Ron understands how important this is to me.”

Emily sighed. “How many times have you two broken up in the two years you’ve dated, Kat?”

“This isn’t the same. We’re just taking a short break to concentrate on our careers before we have to settle down.”

“If the man were any more settled, he’d be petrified, Kat. Surely you don’t think that’s going to change? I cannot see you ‘settled down’ with anyone, let alone Ron. If he wanted to be here with you, he would be.”

“We have complementing personalities,” called Katarina as she carried the last ten-gallon tote from the basement to the back of her station wagon. She hoped her sister would stop talking about Ron before Alex returned.

When she saw Alex at the top of the stairs, Katarina realized it was already too late. He’d probably heard the entire argument. Without a word, Alex stepped out of her way.
