After the disastrous S8 (especially the finale), this story would not leave me alone. I couldn't imagine Bill Avery just accepting Elizabeth's decision. This is my very first fanfic, so please be gentle. I will always be on Team Nathan, so Team Lucas fans, may wish to give this a pass. Disclaimer - I do not own anything to do with When Calls the Heart or Hallmark.
