Two weeks had passed. New Years Eve had come and gone. It was 2010.. Elysa was still thinking about getting back together with Corey. Corey decided not to push the issue with Elysa. He was going to let her come to him. Elysa was at work. Her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi Elysa." Corey said.
"Hi Corey."
"How's work going?"
"Good." "I sold three houses today."
"That's great."
"What are you doing next Friday?"
"Nothing."
"Wanna go to the "American Sunset" premiere with me and mom?" "It's in Vegas."
"Vegas huh?"
"Yeah."
"I haven't been there in years."
"Me either."
"I'll come as long as I get my own room."
"Absolutely."
"Ok."
Later that night Elysa went to Whitney's.
"Has anything new been up with you?" Whitney asked.
"Well, a couple weeks ago Corey told me he wants me back."
"I knew that would happen." "What are you gonna do?"
"Corey's been sober for almost two years.' "He's doing great." "I want to go back to him, I do."
"But?"
"But I don't know if I can do it again." "I love him but I always have."
Two days later Elysa asked Corey to come over. They sat down on the couch.
"How was work today?" Corey asked.
"Good." "I've thought a lot about what you asked me."
"Yeah."
"Yeah."
"Did you decide anything yet?"
"Yes I did."
"Gonna keep me in suspense?"
"No." "When I was cleaning out the attic a couple weeks ago, I also found this" She pulled the locket Corey gave her for Christmas, when they were together out from under her shirt. "Remember this?"
"Of course I do." "I gave you that locket."
"Yeah."
"Does this mean what I think it means?"
"Yes." "I want to be with you again." "I love you Corey."
He smiled. "You haven't said that to me in fourteen years."
"I know."
"I love you too." They kissed. "Does this mean I can start wearing the necklace you gave me again?"
"You still have it?"
"Yes, it's in my room." "I've got my sweetie back." He said happily. "Come here, I wanna snuggle."
