"No I will not marry Aaron this young. I should have known he wanted only my hand in marriage."

Alexis was running away from the party. Running in any direction but back. When soon she saw a boy whom have look to be 15 years of age."

"Excuse me! Sir can I beseech a favo-"

"As long as you will re-befriend me. Alexis"

Standing in front of her was the only one she ever feared.

Roman.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in a rather scared tone.

"I should be asking you that question" he replied calmly.

"This so happens to be my backyard!" her voice was rising in an attempt to scare Roman.

"Well as I recall" he was talking in a voice that was soft smooth and peaceful "you were about to get married. Am I not mistaken?"

"H-how did you kno-"

"And you were running as Aaron got on one knee"

All of a sudden a yell could be heard behind Alexis.

"Alexis dear! Please some back! We will talk this through!"

"Well since we had our little chat I best be heading off"

"Where too?" she asked quickly and curiously

"A place full of wonder" he said simply and was heading off to the secret garden Alexis had found when she first meet Roman in the 7th grade.

"Unless you want to be married of course."

Alexis reluctantly followed Roman into the Secret Garden.
