"I'm so happy Bernie" Howard said as he put his arm around his fiance."It's great to be alone with you in your apartment."
"Our apartment, Howie. You'll be living here soon enough" Bernadette smiled. Despite the problems they'd had in the past Bernadette was sure more than ever that Howard was the only man for her. "We're so lucky too, I'd hate to deal with all the problems my single friends are having."
"What do you mean; Penny could get any guy she wanted," Howard said a little too enthusiastically, garnering a stern look from Bernadette."and I don't even think Amy has feelings like that, if any, at all"
"Of course Amy has feelings!"Bernie said sitting up, "You don't get her, but she is as sensitive as any other woman. She has a heart, a heart that can be broken and.."
"Oh hunny, please don't get so excited," Howard interrupted shocked at Bernadette's outburst, "I don't always get Amy but I didn't mean to insult her. Where is this coming from anyway."
"Nothing Howard, stop interrogating me, okay!" Bernadette shifted nervously in bed. She had a hard time lying to anyone, especially Howard, and now with such a tantalizing peice of gossip she could hardly control herself.
"Bernie, please tell me what's going on. I can tell your holding something back. I promise it will stay between the two of us." Howard's eyes were so sincere and Bernadette could never resist that look.
"Okay, fine but you have to promise this will stay between the two of us. Swear it."
"All right, all right of course I promise. I swear it will stay between the two of us." Howard was very intrigued. Bernadette rarely kept secrets and when she did they were usually pretty interesting.
"Okay, well, at the dress fitting today Amy told us that... um...she likes Sheldon." Bernadette felt terrible about spilling the beans but she was so relieved.
"What?" Howard sat up in bed suddenly, he couldn't process what he'd just heard. "Amy, likes Sheldon...romantically!... How is that even possible! They're both as asexual as a sea sponge! How did this happen, and more importantly why?
"I guess she just spent enough time with him and has enough in common with him that she just started seeing him differently."
"But, does Sheldon feel the same way" Howard felt terrible asking the question knowing that it could never be. Sheldon always felt romantic relationships were a waste of time and he repeatedly made his feeling heard.
"Amy doesn't think so. I feel so sorry for her. I've never seen her so sincere and to think that the only time she lets herself be vulnerable I go and spill the beans" Bernadette was ashamed that she'd told Howard Amy's secret.
"Don't worry Bernadette. I swear that this will stay between us and no one will ever know you told me."
