A/N: Hi guys, it's L. As you can see I'm back from a long hiatus. I'm so grateful for all the love and support I've received-I mean over 11,000 views,that's crazy-but I'm not too sure that Lucaya speaks to me like it used to. That said, I will be continuing with this fanfic alongside another fanfic I'm currently working on.

This oneshot is for all those people who are confused by their feelings. Maybe they've changed over time, maybe they haven't. Either way, this one's for you.

Hearing the sound of Lucas' voice broke Maya's walls down. She couldn't resist that voice. That voice was the voice she fell in love with when they were kids. Riley-who was now a successful business woman- sent Maya to him because who else would? Their story was in the past, but Riley wouldn't let it go.

I'm with Josh. Those words echoed around Lucas' mind, but he couldn't grasp it. He was stuck in a trance. Here he was, opposite the blonde beauty for the first time in what felt like thousands of years and here she was telling him it was too late. Josh hadn't gave her the light of day when they were younger and he believed he never would. But he did. He kept his promise. He promised to play the long game and Lucas was sure that would blow over soon enough. But it didn't. He thought that Maya would get stringed along. But she didn't. And he wasn't sure if he was more upset that he ever spoke poorly of Maya or that he believed it couldn't happen.

I just need some space.Why did Lucas run away like that? Did Maya do something wrong? She knew he wouldn't be happy about the whole Josh situation because it's Josh, but it wasn't as if she was going to lie about it. The last she'd heard, he was with some flower from Texas. Well, they broke up. Clearly! Riley would know what to do. Maya needed to see Riley.

I felt guilty. Riley processed what she was hearing. She had never been in this kind of dilemma before. Of course, she wanted Maya to be happy and Maya was always happiest when she was with Lucas, but it was complicated. Her Uncle Josh meant so much to her. He helped her through so much. But Riley knew she had to do what was right.

Maya's still in love. With who? Why was Riley telling him this? Every morning when he woke up, he thought of Maya and how he loved her. Then he would text her and tell her and it became a habit of theirs. They always professed their undying love for each other so why did Riley tell him that? He already knew. With Lucas. Oh. Now it made sense. Maya no longer loved him. She loved Lucas. And as much as he hated that, Josh had to accept it.

Yes. A beautiful beach view. An ocean breeze. A perfect cowboy. A blonde beauty. It all made sense. This is where they were supposed to be. This is what was supposed to happen. Maya could only dream of this, but Lucas gave it hope. Because sometimes all you need is hope. I will marry you.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading. I really hope that you'll comment 'hope' in the review sentence. Tell me, did you love it? Hate it? Constructive critics are always welcome.

Thanks.
