fifty shades of stefan } { don't believe the lights are shining, any place but there [1904]
[Continued from here.]
Ten years, as promised, and Stefan doesn't forget. Evening of the first night of the World's Fair has him standing on the bridge facing the statue of Saint Louis, hearing the faint sounds of revelry in the distance. There is so much he wants to do and see, but a promise is a promise, and he isn't going to abandon his date for the evening.
Provided, of course, that she remembers and elects to attend, but that's another matter entirely. For however long it takes, he will wait.
The past decade hasn't been a particularly easy one. The absence of his brother is starting to weigh on him, and while he wishes he knew where Damon is or what he is doing, he also knows that Damon promised him an eternity of misery. That is a promise that he knows Damon fully intends to keep, no matter how sorry Stefan is. He can only hope that he can keep being better, top prove to him that he isn't the burden that Damon believes to be saddled with.
Damon left because Stefan couldn't control himself. Clearly allowing Lexi to teach him control and prove that to Damon is the only way to try and bridge that gap between them.
All the same, he stands and waits for Diana, the first thing he's been excited for in almost ten years. If she doesn't arrive on the first night, he'll continue to wait for every night until she does arrive. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later, though. There is so much of the fair to see.

Should be easier enough to remember. Stefan's also always had a fairly decent memory, so he'll be able to commit it well enough until he can write it down in his journal later.
"I'll remember."

She gave his arm a little squeeze. "Now. No more talking about solemn things. We only have a few hours before sunrise and I want to see everything."

And off they go!
