Background Info: Charity's still in Hell and there's no hope for her return. Simone convinced Kay to pray for her soul again, and she got it back. Kay has been comforting Miguel. The two of them are back to spending time together like they did before Charity, and Miguel has begun to move on.

For the First Time
Are those your eyes
Is that your smile
I've been looking at you forever
But I never say you before
Are these your hands
Holding mine
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind

"Kay, I have to talk to you. It's very important. Do you want to have lunch?" Miguel asked his best friend.

"Sure Miguel," Kay answered.

"Meet me at the Book Cafe in a half hour."

"I'll be there."

Miguel hung up the phone. Praying he hadn't been hallucinating in the mine shaft when Kay said that she loved him, he went to get ready.

For the first time
I am looking in your eyes
For the first time
I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand why love it
Love is
For the first time

Miguel grabbed a table inside the Book Cafe and waited for Kay. He imagined every scenario he could with the way she would react to his news. All he could do was hope she'd understand. Really, he wished she'd feel the same. She had to love him. She just had to.

All his questions would be answered soon, because he looked up as she walked through the door. Realizing she was looking for him, he called out her name. She turned her head, saw him, and walked over.

Can this be real
Can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
And are you the same you
It's all so strange
How can it be
All along this love was right in front of me

"Hi Miguel," Kay said. "What did you want to tell me?"

"Sit down, Kay. This is important, very important," Miguel said.

Kay sat down, wondering what was so important. "Okay Miguel, what is it?"

"Do you remember what happened in the mine shaft? I know everyone says we were hallucinating, but the more I think about it, the more I believe it happened. After everything that's gone on in the last few months, I'll believe anything. Do you believe everything that happened down there Kay really happened?"

"Yeah, I do Miguel, but I don't understand. Where are you going with this?"

"I need to know for sure if something you said down there was real, or if I imagined it. Kay, you said you love me. Did you really mean it? Do you really love me?"

For the first time
I am looking in your eyes
For the first time
I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand why love it
Love is
For the first time

"Oh boy," Kay thought. She wanted to scream yes, but something was stopping her. Why was he asking her? Did he love her? Kay could only hope.

Miguel noticed her hesitance. This means yes, right? She would have answered right away if she didn't. Maybe she was trying to avoid hurting me. That's probably why she didn't answer. All these thoughts were running through his mind.

"Miguel, yes. Yes I said that, and yes, I meant it," Kay finally answered. She knew she took a huge risk and now she had to wait for his response.

Such a long time ago
I had given up on finding this emotion
Ever again
But to live with you now
Yes I've found you somehow
And I've never been so sure

Miguel was trying to process the information. He had hoped he was right, and now he knew he was. "She loves me. She truly loves me," he thought.

Looking up, he saw her pleading with him to say something. "Miguel...," Kay started to say. She was cut off by Miguel.

"Kay, you're my best friend. We've been spending a lot of time together lately. You're the only one who's been able to take my mind off Charity; the only one who's helped me move on. You've also made me see something I never knew was there, something right in front of me," Miguel said.

"I don't get it Miguel. What are you saying?"

"Kay, I love you."

"You love me."

"Yes, I love you."

"You LOVE me. I mean really love me."

"Yes, I really love you. Kay Bennett, I love you. I love you, I LOVE you, I LOVE you!" Miguel shouted as he pulled her in for a kiss.

For the first time
I am looking in your eyes
For the first time
I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand why love it
Love is
For the first time

All was well in the lives of Kay Bennett and Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald.
