Brady drove to pick up Elizabeth. He had felt tears welling up before he had spoken to Elizabeth but hearing her sweet voice made him realize how over Chloe he was. 'Yes Brady. She still has this strong affect on you but tonight you got the long awaited closure you needed.' He arrived to pick up Elizabeth and when he saw the striking redhead he knew that this was the right decision.

Brady: Hey gorgeous (He said approaching her and giving her a big hug and a kiss on the forehead)

Elizabeth: Hello (Returning the welcome with a passionate kiss)

Brady: Mmmm I will never get tired of those kisses.

Elizabeth: Well you won't have to (Grinning at him) Let's head back to my place.

Brady and Elizabeth drove back to her apartment and went inside.

Elizabeth: So Brady. What did you mean when you said a part of your past was left behind tonight? Just who were you with? (She asked as she changed into more comfortable clothes)

Brady: (Sitting comfortably on her bed.) I just meant that a part of my life that was wonderful yet also filled with heartache was resolved tonight. I spoke with that person and things were cleared up.

Elizabeth: (Coming toward him and nuzzled into his chest) I'm so happy for you. Happy for us. (Kissing him)

Brady: (Smiling down at her) Me too. 'Me too,' he thought. Hey Elizabeth sweetie, would you mind if I took a rain check on tonight? I'm a little tired and want to go home.

Elizabeth: Of course not. Go get some rest. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Brady: (Kissing her) Thanks. I love you.

Elizabeth: I know.

Brady returned home and lay down. 'I do love Elizabeth. Then why can't I stop thinking about Chloe? Stop. You are just reminiscing about what could have been. Just think about what you have.' And with the thought of Elizabeth in his mind he fell asleep.


Belle: Brady!! Brady!! Wake up.

Brady: (Groggily) What? Belle, how early is it?

Belle: Oh come on Brady! You know we have to get ready to go to Brady's for Christmas dinner.

Brady: Dinner! Its only 11 in the morning!

Belle: Yes but we are also going to do the Christmas gift exchange. Now just get up and take a shower. You stink!

Brady: (Smiling) Ok Belle. Will do.
