Set 6 months after the finale. Daniel and Betty have been seeing each other, but they have been keeping it from everyone at home. See what is ahead for their future!
Betty glanced at the clock on the corner of her computer screen it was 7:30 at night and she had not heard from Daniel all day. She was getting a little worried. Usually after work he would come over to her place and they would eat dinner and get work done side by side on her oversized leather sofa. Usually, she would have at least gotten a phone call. She pulled out her blackberry and dialed his number. She didn't want to seem too clingy, but she was worried.
The phone rang….but no answer. Where could he be?
It was 9:30 at night and Daniel opened the front door to Betty's flat. She had given him a key a few months ago once Betty realized he was over everyday anyways. He walked into the living room to find Betty sprawled across the couch, her blackberry firmly in hand. He smiled as he looked down at her sleeping. He took the throw off the back of the couch and covered her up. He gently pulled her phone from her hand and laid it on the side table giving her a kiss on her forehead. Betty stirred a little, curling up with the blanket, but she didn't wake up. Daniel turn off the lamp as he tiptoed to her bedroom and changed into some sweats he had in her dresser and climbed into bed. It had been a long day. He needed to talk to her, but tonight was not the time.
The sun beemed through the large windows that covered the walls of Betty's flat. She squinted as she opened her eyes. She heard some stirring in the kitchen, she jumped up to see who it was letting the blanket covering her fall to the floor. Daniel peaked his head around the corner and Betty sighed in relief. Then relief turned to anger.
"Good Morning beautiful!" Daniel said cheerfully. He had noticed her scowl. He new he was about to get it.
"Don't you good morning me! Where were you yesteday! I tried calling you like 10 times. I was worried about you! You couldn't even call to tell me you are ok!" Betty said walking towards the kitchen.
Daniel walked out with two cups of coffee in hand. "I'm sorry I didn't call, but I had a very eventful evening. Actually, I need to talk to you about it; I just didn't want to wake you last night." He made his way to the couch and sat both coffees on the table in front. He motioned for Betty to come and sit with him. He took her hand pulling her down tosit next to him. Betty looked a little worried. He handed her one of the cups and took one for himself. "I received a call yesterday. It was my mother. I need to fly back today."
Betty was confused? "Why, what happened? Is everything ok?"
"Well, not so much. I need to go back to help my mother with Meade. It's my family's legacy and the company is not doing so well right now. I am really sorry; things are going so well with us. I don't know how long I will be gone."
She sat the cup down noticing her hand was trambling a little. She could feel the tears building, but she had to be strong. "It's ok Daniel, I'll be fine here. You go and help your family. We've had fun running around London together, but real life calls."
He was a little hurt at how non-chalant she was with the whole thing. He thought he might get at least a little protest. "Thank you for being so understanding." He pulled her into his chest and wrapped his arms around her. Betty felt tears trickle down her face. Her fairytale was falling apart, and she was not fighting to keep it together. She wished she would have told him she didn't want him to go, but she didn't want to seem selfish. "I love you Betty"
"I love you too Daniel."
