Chapter Eight: The Wait is Over

David had been sitting around for a long time, at least an hour. Occasionally, somebody from high school and junior high days would stop and talk to him, but he was in a pretty crummy mood, so they didn't stick around too long.

He still hadn't seen Lizzie yet tonight. This gym wasn't that big. Did she leave already? Did he miss his chance? He suddenly started to panic.

"David."

David jumped at the sound of the most beautiful voice he had ever heard coming from behind him.

He turned slowly, trying to savor this moment. When his gaze finally met hers, his heart stopped. It was Lizzie McGuire, the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Her pale blonde hair blew across her face in the light breeze. She was wearing the same dress she had worn the night he had proposed. Suddenly, it was hard for David to breathe.

"David, I need to talk to you about us," she said.

He looked into her eyes. He felt liked he had died on gone to heaven. He wanted to lean over and kiss her BADLY but he resisted. It was hard, though.

Then he realized what she had said. "Us?" he replied weakly, trying to draw his eyes away from hers.

Elizabeth moved slowly towards him. She couldn't help looking into his eyes either. She tried to be serious about this, but she couldn't help feeling something inside of her. Something inside of her lit up again for the first time in ten years. God, she missed him. She still loved him. But how? She was married with a son. She couldn't love another man all of the sudden? But maybe she never STOPPED loving him.

Suddenly, he kissed her. At first she resisted, almost pulled away. Then she kissed him right back. God, she missed him. And he missed her, too. For both of them, this kiss right now was like living for the first time in ten years. They were revived, saved from their death.

Then Elizabeth remembered Jeu. He was her husband. Wait a minute. He wasn't anymore. No one knew it, but Elizabeth had gotten her marriage annulled months ago. She had been living in condo by herself since then. So Elizabeth let David kiss her. When they finally pulled apart, she whispered in his ear, "I'm not married anymore."

Suddenly, David's heart leapt out of his chest. Something made him do this. He got down on his knee before her. Her heart stopped at the sight of this.

"Lizzie," he said, eyes staring deep into hers, "I STILL love you more than anything. Will you marry me?"
