Mia Thermopolis began twisting her engagement ring around her finger as she let out another sigh, she gazed at her own reflection in the clear waters of the fountain. Through the view of the reflection she could see someone familiar approach her, it was her former fiance (and almost husband) Andrew Jacoby.
"I was wondering where you had wondered off." Andrew said as he joined Mia.
"I'm sorry for leaving the party like that, I know I'm the Queen but...I just get so flustered when I have to talk about my wedding to Nicholas and-"
"Mia, say no more. It's all right. Your grandmother is not upset and Nicholas is looking a bit foggy but besides that, you're off the hook." Andrew smiled.
"How did you know where to find me?" Mia asked.
"Well, first I checked your bedroom and then I thought of the obvious place. Mia, when we were engaged you were always known to come by this foutain in order to gather your thoughts." Andrew remarked.
"Andrew, in your HONEST opinon, do you really think me and Nicholas should be together?" Mia asked.
"I think, if you both love each other and you both are deliriously happy in your relationship. Then I have no doubt...That you two will be a wonderful King and Queen." Andrew stated.
"How do you know?" Mia asked.
"Know what?" Andrew asked.
"How do you know when you are deliriously happy in a relationship?" Mia asked.
"Well...For one thing...You simply cannot take your eyes off your lover, all you can wear is a stupid smile because you feel in your heart as though you are going to spend the rest of your life by their side. You want to leap for the skies and steal every star just to satisfy them and...You just want to lock them up in a room that is filled with everything they could possibly want." Andrew stated.
"Okay, how is it that a guy like you knows about all this?" Mia asked with a smile.
"Because I've been there." Andrew said quietly.
For a moment, Andrew's hand had touched Mia's before he jerked away slowly.
"Well, I suppose I should get back inside. Before I go..." Andrew removed his coat and put it around Mia.
"Don't want you to catch cold." Andrew whispered.
Andrew got up and walked away, Mia watched him leave with a puzzled look on her face. Was Andrew referring to their relationship? No, he had to mean Charlotte. He just had to. But in her heart, Mia knew who he was talking about...and the funny part? She felt the same way about him.
