*Flashback to two months ago, 2013 *
Lizzie and Ethan were out on a date for their four- year anniversary. They started dating in the middle of college and their relationship was pretty strong, so it seemed natural that they would eventually get married. After dinner, they went wandered outside to the fountain, and Ethan all the sudden started to get nervous.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and stopped her as well.
"Lizzie," Ethan said as he got down on his knee, "Will you marry me?"
Lizzie was stunned at first, but then remembered that this was what she wanted, so she accepted him and gave him a kiss.
*End Flashback*
Lizzie wanted to get married to Ethan all her life, right? If so, then why was she having all these worries and doubts. She began to argue with her own suspicions of wanting to marry Ethan for so long, that their relationship was no longer about love. It was about marrying Ethan and being his bride.
Lizzie was confused. She liked Ethan for the longest time and when he started liking her back, it was her who cheated on her boyfriend to win Ethan's affection. She lied about her whereabouts and snuck in and out of her dorm room. All for Ethan.
Once she had Ethan, she felt like she was committing a sin of some sort. Sure, she never had sex with Ethan while she dated her then-boyfriend, and life-long friend, David Gordon, heck, they never even kissed. Those acts were against her morals. After their third secret date, which Ethan had no idea was secret, Lizzie finally confronted David (commonly called "Gordo") about this relationship and explained that she needed to explore her options more, and this was an opportunity. That was four years ago. Since then, Gordo continued college and eventually moved away. Lizzie only heard the name David Gordon in movies or television because Gordo was now a producer/director of some company while Lizzie continued to live in LA and worked as a marketing agent for a shoe company.
That is why Lizzie was having doubts . . .no, not because of the shoes, but because of her Gordo. Gordo and Lizzie never contacted each other. He took the break-up pretty hard and Lizzie figured he wanted nothing to do with her.
Telling people was another story. Her best friend, Miranda, still enjoying the single life, said that her feelings are probably just going on because marriage is a big step and is so secluded. Jo, her mom, said that it was probably just nerves, and in the end, she will be true to her heart. Ethan thought. . . well, he didn't think about this, because Lizzie never explained this feeling to him, because she agreed that this was probably just temporary.
As Lizzie daydreamed about everything while sitting in her chair at her office, she hardly noticed when Janet, a coworker at the agency, came in for the latest gossip.
"Sorry for interrupting, but I have news for you," Janet said as she invited herself into a chair and took a sip of her coffee.
"W-what?" Lizzie said, getting out of her daydream.
"You need more sleep. Anyway, you will never guess who I saw together last night!"
"Who?" Lizzie said. Gossip was something that would never fascinate anyone as much as it did Janet.
"Jake from machinery and Hilda from design. You didn't hear it from me, though," Janet said as she took another sip of her coffee.
"Really? Jake with . . .Hilda? But she is so . . ." Lizzie started.
"So vanilla? I know, but maybe there is more to her. Never underestimate the power of a beautiful man," Janet said in her thick New York accent.
Lizzie smirked.
"Oh, and speaking of beautiful, I hear the new director we are hiring is not only fabulous, but also gorgeous. He is a little younger, but I will manage. What is in a number, anyway?" Janet said.
"Really? We have a new director? I didn't know that. When did this happen?" Lizzie said as she looked at the papers on her desks for some sort of notice.
"Harry? Oh, he moved away . . .or maybe we fired him. I don't remember, but that isn't important. The important thing is that the new guy has talent, and he is single," Janet said.
Janet had dark hair and was in her early thirties.
"Really? What is his name?" Lizzie asked.
"I don't know. Something Gordon or something like that?" Janet responded.
