Clare's POV:

I woke up this morning feeling unusually irritated. I feel like I have nothing to do with my life now that I am 22 and still live with my parents. Of course I have the dream job being the head coordinator of stories at the Toronto Interpreter, but lately I feel like I haven't been doing anything productive. I haven't had a decent boyfriend since high school and Eli and I broke up because things were just to difficult. I got up this morning and started to brew my coffee and went outside to get the mail. I just love the awesome look my neighbors give me when I go outside in nothing but my pajamas and my adorable bunny slippers. Despite that I got these 7 years ago, they still fit, so they're a cute reminder of my high school memories. Eli got them for me a couple months before we broke up as a birthday present.

I walked outside and grabbed the mail and rifled through it as I held a doughnut in my mouth and opened the door to go back inside. I didn't get a good look through it, I just threw it back on the counter and grabbed a mug from the cabinet. My mom and Glen have been gone on a 3 week get away for their anniversary, so I have the house to myself. Even though I think they are just leaving because it's weird having me around the house, I think that I need to find my own place. After I drank down my coffee and piled down 2 more doughnuts, I grabbed the mail and went through the pile. I said aloud in my head who they were all for... Glen, Glen, Glen, Mom, Glen, Mom, Mom, Post card from Darcy, Letter from Jake, Clare. I grabbed the letter that said my name on it and noticed the fancy hand writing on it. It was in cursive and it looked professional like a love note, or a wedding invitation...

I picked up the envelope and tried not to tear it as I opened it because it was just to cute and fancy. I read aloud as the fancy writing caught my attention. "Dear Clare, you are invited to the holy matrimony of Elijah Goldsworthy and Rebecka Baker..." A lump grew in my throat as I continued reading... "This event will be held on July 22nd. Hope to see you all there! XOXO." At the bottom, there were directions to the beach house and two hand signatures... one that read Becky and one that read Eli. When I grabbed the envelope again, there was a lump the size of a folded piece of paper in the envelope. I opened the folded piece of notebook paper up and read... Clare Edwards, you and a select couple guests are invited to come over to the beach house 1 week prior to the wedding. I hope you can make it! We will be going to the spa and hanging out with a few other girls I invited back from our church circle and friends from high school. Hope you can come! 3 Becky!. I sat there in awe at what I had just read. "ELI IS MARRYING HER," I said aloud.

I calmed down and thought about this all. Eli and I broke up. I am happy for him and Becky, I am. Becky and I have been in church groups together since the 9th grade and when she moved away 2 summers ago, I told her I hope she will find happiness. But then again I didn't think she would do that will MY Eli! "He isn't your Eli anymore Clare," I said aloud. Even though Eli and I had broken up in high school, I had always asked myself why he never fought for me. Why he never came back for me after NYU. I had decided to go to show my support. Even though I thought that I may still have feelings for Eli, I figured that they would be happier with my permission, and if Eli really loved me... well I wouldn't have to think about that if he did...
