Isabella & Gretchen
21-year-old Isabella and her best girl friend, Gretchen, were sitting down to have their coffees. "Gretch, you've got to help me. I just don't know what to do. Phineas and I've been engaged for a whole year and we've not even discussed anything wedding related."
Gretchen looked cautiously at her left hand and took a sip from her drink. 'In the past two years, she's not noticed… though I didn't make a big fuss about it.' She thought as she looked at the simple diamond on her finger. "Sometimes it's best to be engaged for a while before getting married." She said. Isabella looked at her friend in astonishment.
"Well, what would you do if after a whole year no headway was made with wedding plans?" Isabella demanded of her friend. Gretchen pondered that question for a minute while drinking her coffee. "I'd just enjoy the engagement, the closeness, the learning curve – so to speak." She replied.
Isabella pondered her own coffee. "I guess your right Gretchen. I mean, it's Phineas we're talking about. He's probably planning the whole wedding out… something spectacular, something unbelievable… something… he's not doing anything is he?" Gretchen shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm not saying that your expectations are… not justified. It's just that, as you said… It's Phineas. He might need some… direction…on what it is you actually want." Gretchen tried to be diplomatic.
"Oh, what do you know about being engaged to the one person whom you love with every fiber of your being?" Isabella accused. Gretchen closed her eyes and put her hands on her lap. "Your right. I know nothing." She sighed.
