"You might want to take a look at this."
He took the paper from Dylan's hand.
"Where did you get this?"
"I printed it off the internet."
Fox looked at the picture and the disclaimer at the bottom. A picture of Teresa and Ethan in the Harmony society page and an announcement of their impending nuptials.
"I guess she has moved on with her life."
"It took her 5 years to do that. Doesn't that tell you something?"
Fox kept looking at the picture in front of him, his Teresa was getting married to another man.
"Fox, you have to go back to Harmony."
"You know damn well that I can't go back."
"And you know very well that staying away from her has taken a lot out of you. You're not the same, Fox."
"You know very well that I don't have the choice, Dylan. I'm worried that they will go after her."
"Have you seen this picture, Fox? I don't know this girl, but she is barely alive. She needs to be with you as much as you need to be with her."
"I can't. If Ethan makes her happy, then so be it. There is nothing I can do about it."
"Let her know that you're alive."
"No, she'll never forgive me."
"Go ahead with the plan you had when you planned to run away with her."
"Dylan, for the last time..no! It's no use."
"I don't understand how you can let her go like that."
"I don't have the choice."
"We always have a choice in life Fox."
"No, not always. If I had a choice I wouldn't be sitting here discussing this with you. It would be with her. I don't want her to look over her shoulder everyday of her life, I don't want her to have to runaway the way I've been doing for the past 5 years. It's no life."
"In any case, I'm going to spend the week in London with my family. So we do as usual. If there's anything, you call me with your location and I'll be there."
"Thank you Dylan."
"What are friends for, right?"
"And you're one hell of a good one."
They shook hands and Dylan left.
