Cate hey hon! Welcome back
And lol
J.F. no worries, I read back over what I wrote before and it totally didn't makes sense anyway :lol:
But yeah I do think the best thing would be for Peyton to transfer out or decide to take another job or something...because you're right that allows Mac his dignity and plus if she recognizes that Mac loves Stella that means it's Clearly obvious! (I mean of course it's clearly OBVIOUS to us! :lol: But if the other woman sees it...that's a big deal!) So yeah I really want Peyton to tell Mac to go for it with Stella (I'd be really impressed if she did that instead of being royally pissed or mad or something...but I don't know that she will!) But yeah...then the question is...will Mac listen and actually tell Stella how he feels or will he try to hide it? Oh here we go....!
Say in an upcoming episode something almost happens to Stella at a scene, she gets hurt or something...not badly but enough so that Mac gets scared for her...something that Peyton notices and makes her think. So after the case is over and solved, Peyton goes to Mac at his house and tells him that she has put in for a transfer. He askes why and she says, "Because of what happened today...when Stella got hurt...I saw the way you looked at her Mac and I finally got it...we've been together a year and you've never looked at me like that. So I'm doing the right thing and bowing out. Just promise me something...don't wait to tell her, okay. You deserve to be happy, and she'll do that...she'll make you happy." And then she leaves with Mac staring after her. Then we see Peyton knocking on another door, and this time Stel answers, and seeing Peyton she's clearly surprised. They stare at eachother for a moment and finally Stel says "Um did you want to come in?" Peyton looks at the ground a moment and then shakes her head, "No I just came by to make sure you're okay and to tell you I'm leaving."
Stel looks confused, "You're leaving but why...what...?"
Peyton looks at her with a mixture of sadness and amusement on her face..."You know why..." she pauses, "He loves you ya know....he's a little scared I think, but he loves you, probably more than he's ever loved anyone before...and I if I were you I would grab him and hold onto him and never let him go!" She looked up again at Stel's shocked face and smiled..."Just wanted you to know Stella...take good care of him okay..." and with that Peyton walked away down the hall...leaving Stella staring after her.
There! Now how's that...and then of course Mac would go to Stella's and they'd get together... :devil: and stay together!!
