She smiled and faced the others

Everyone had finished following Henry's lead and placed the food or drinks they brought on the table.

Lysander was soon being hugged by his mother.

Betty looked up the stairs hoping laurabeth wasn't having a nightmare

”Everything alright, Bets?” Henry asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.

She nodded with a smile

Henry smiled back and gave her a one-armed hug. ”I think you already know this but… I wanna ask Tyler to marry me.” he whispered softly. ”Do you think… will it be ok if I ask her tonight?”

Betty's face grew pale she coughed choking on her own saliva

”Whoa. Are you ok?” Henry asked, clapping Betty on the back a couple of times to help her breath again.

"Henry can I have a word outside" she said

”Uh… Sure.” Henry nodded. ”Am I in trouble or something?”

"we'll be right back we just need to have a little talk with my brother"she said in drag them outside closing the door behind him "Henry some people are made for marriage some people like marriage I am one of those people Tyler is not Tyler is terrified of marriage she is as afraid of marriage as I am of Alec" she said

”Yikes.” Henry blinked slowly as he absorbed this information. ”Ya know, for a minute, I thought it was something wrong with me. Not that there’s anything wrong with Tyler. I just…” he sighed softly as he ran his hand down his face. ”Why is she so scared of it?”

"Tyler and I were at a party we were 21 we both got separated Benjamin forced himself on Tyler and Alec forced himself on me keep in mind we were both human we couldn't fight them off they were both stronger than us that's how Tyler got pregnant I luckily didn't get pregnant" she said

Henry nodded as she spoke. ”I would never do that to her.” he said gently. ”I may be a hot-headed cad at times but I am getting better. Because of her… for her.”

"I know Henry and you are you're doing so much better we're still females and we're still scared of so many things we may look tough coloring but we're not we've been taken advantage of too many times at least it only happened to Tyler once" she said.mumbling the last part

“And it’ll never happen to either of you again.” Henry told her, gently tilting her head back up to look at him. He had caught her last comment as it was almost impossible to speak quietly enough to avoid a vampire’s hearing. ”Lysander would sooner drink vervain than let anyone hurt you.” he sighed. ”And I would do the same if it meant Tyler and Asher would be safe. I… I love them.” he admitted.

"and they love you… And if you tell lysander about this I would actually prefer you tell him than me please

“Ok.” he nodded softly. ”I’ll just have to find an excuse to talk to the King’s brother.” he said with a faint note of bitterness.

"that's f** b*** Henry Alexander is just as much as your brother as he is Evans Moore you were there for him when no one else was when I wasn't even there for him you're his brother so if you want to freaking talk to him you talk to him" she said

Henry stared at her as she swore at him. He hadn't been expecting that. ”I guess you're right.” he mumbled, looking intently at the ground. ”Does he still think of me as his brother though? Now that he has Evan and his real parents back.” he clarified.

If you're not his brother then I'm not as wife" she said

Henry chuckled at the analogy. ”I don't think it's quite the same thing, Bets. But thanks.” he smiled at her.

"let's get back inside" she said walking inside the door of the cabin

”Alright.” Henry smiled and followed her back inside.

Betty smiling politely at everyone as she walked inside
