This was the first time Stefan heard his friend giving Gwen a positive comment and finally accepting her. His lips curled into a smile as he said, "You're going to discover more good things about her soon enough and realize she's a wonderful woman."
After that, he walked toward Gwen.
Gwen was sound asleep at the dining table when she heard two voices conversing with one another. She looked up with a frown and said, "Stefan, Kurt, you guys are back."
"Yes. Don't mind us," said Stefan softly as he walked over. He then reached his hand out to carry Gwen.
There was a voice in Gwen's head warning her to keep her distance from Stefan.
Nevertheless…
Stefan reminded her of Luke a lot, and his gentle tone sounded just like how Luke would talk to her.
Finally, she was so exhausted that she just let Stefan continue to carry her while she dozed off in his arms.
When Stefan placed her on her bed, she could not help but wrap her hands around Stefan's neck to call out Luke's name gently, "Luke…"
Stefan's arms trembled when he heard that.
After a while, he replied softly, "I'm here. What's wrong?"
"Did everything go well today?" Gwen's hands clung to his neck as she mumbled, "Did anyone cause trouble for you and Kurt?"
Stefan smiled. "No."
He then carefully placed her on the bed and tucked her in.
