Sorry this is so short but I'm debating on whether or not to continue this story. Please review fellow #Hearties!
Elizabeth looked up into Jack's eyes thinking of how long she had wanted to do that. To feel his lips against hers. That was confirmation of why she was staying in Coal Valley. The children she taught, the friends she had made, and the handsome constable that was now a special part of her life, made her realize that this was where she belonged.
"Elizabeth," said Jack interrupting her thoughts.
"Yeah?" she asked bringing herself back to reality.
He took her hand and kissed it, "I'm so glad you decided to stay in Coal Valley."
"Oh Jack," she said cupping his face, "I could never leave you. I could never leave my students. In just a short amount of time I've made so many friends here. And I've made so many memories. Memories that will last me a lifetime."
"I know," said Jack, "This place is special to me. I wouldn't give up this place for all of the new locations in Canada. In the world. Everything I need is right here, in Coal Valley."
"Yeah, Coal Valley does have that effect on people," chuckled Elizabeth, "But the reason this place is so special is because you're here."
Jack looked into Elizabeth's blue eyes and it was almost like he could read her mind, "Yeah it's the same for me too Elizabeth. The reason Coal Valley is so special for me is because I met you. And I want to be friends. I want to be more than friends," he thought, "Ms. Thatcher."
"Yes Constable?"
"Please consider this an act of courtship," said Jack and kissed her again. Elizabeth made no hesitation to kiss him back.
