Ryan told me that it was okay to return to Canada, that he has the situation with Stephanie under control. I told him that I needed to see her, so Iran apologize sesin for the damage I have caused and he told me that it was fine, that I do not owe Stephanie an apology anymore.

"IF YOU ARE REALLY SORRY, MAKE ME DINNER WHEN I COME BACK TO CANADA"

His mention of returning caught me off guard. Wasn't he supposed to be marrying her?

I LOVE YOU
