There was one last person Elaine had to see before she went to break up with Arnie. Gwen. Gwynth Johnston, her best friend in Chicago. If it hadn't been for her Elaine thought that she never would have survived. Slowly, Elaine approached the door to Gwen's apartment. She took a moment and then knocked. Gwen opened the door and greeted Elaine with a smile, "Oh hi Elaine! What a nice surprise. Come on in!" Elaine walked in and Gwen shut the door behind her. "What brings you by?" she asked curiously.

"Well… it's kind of a long story…" Elaine frowned.

Gwen grew serious, "What's up?"

Elaine explained everything that had happened in the greatest detail. Gwen just sat there stunned and engrossed in what Elaine was saying. When Elaine finished telling her story she ended with, "So… with all that, I've decided that I'm moving back to New York."

Gwen's heart sank, "You are?"

Elaine sorrowfully nodded, "Yes… I wish I could just take you with me. That would make New York absolutely perfect."

Gwen couldn't help but let a tear fall, "So do I… I'm going to miss you something awful, Elaine."

"I'm going to miss you too, Gwen." Elaine began to tear up herself as she hugged her. "Do you promise that you'll come visit me in New York? I'll visit here as well, but I know how badly you want to see New York."

"Of course I will, now that I will actually have a reason to go!" she managed to say with a smile.

"Good," Elaine smiled back, "because you have been the greatest thing in my life here and I'd hate to lose you."

"I'd hate to lose you as well." Gwen agreed. "You better call me when you get there and tell me everything that happened with Alex. Everything." She winked.

"Absolutely! I promise you will be the first one I call." After a moment she sighed, "Well… I guess I better and talk to Arnie." She said as she stood up.

Gwen stood up as well, "I wish you all the best." The two slowly walked towards the door. Before she left she turned back to Gwen, "Again, thank you so much for everything."

"And thank you."

Elaine added before she left, "Give Soleil my love." Gwen nodded and Elaine went on her way.
