Matthew and I danced five whole songs! He was so funny and kind and charming. He was a lot like Char. He wasn't as wonderful as Char but he was close. At about eleven he asked me to join him for a walk outside.
"It's such a lovely evening. Not a cloud in the sky," I said, looking up.
"It's beautiful," he slipped his hand into mine, I blushed but kept walking.
"I'm glad we came out, it was getting a little too warm in there for me. Of course that could just have been from laughing so much," I gave him a gentle punch in the shoulder.
"Could we sit, Elle?" he asked.
"Of course," I followed him to a bench beside a small stream.
He looked as if he was going to say something but changed his mind and said, "This would be easier if you took off your mask."
"Does it matter?" I asked lightheartedly.
He wasn't expecting this answer but said, "Of course not. Elle, I'm not really sure how to say this but you are so amazing. It seems that every time I find a woman something goes wrong and I guess it turns out for the best in the end, none of them have really been for me, but I just don't want to wait around for something to happen with you. All the others couldn't dream of being like you. What I'm trying to say is, well, Elle, I love you."
I was taken aback, "Love me? Matthew I'm a rotten person to love."
"Elle, please, will you marry me?" he asked, taking my hands in his.
"Matthew I."
He kissed me, "Just think about it, okay?"
I just sat there, I couldn't move, couldn't think. He got up and left. I sat on the bench a moment longer. He loved me? Marriage? Did I love him back? I thought so, maybe. How would it work with the curse? It couldn't. I had to leave Frell. Perhaps I would go to Bast, or Ayortha, or Jenn, or anywhere but here. I looked up at the clock. It was eleven twenty. Lucinda wouldn't be arriving soon but I had to get out of there. It had been a mistake to go in the first place. I walked quickly through the ballroom. I didn't want anyone to ask me to dance, especially Matthew. I could see the door ahead and I started walking faster. I almost made it when I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Nope! You're not getting away from me this time," I knew that voice all too well. "Char."
Ahh! The suspense is killing me! Must write next chapter! I'm so excited! Matthew and Char, who will Ella choose? This story is almost done. I hope you've all been enjoying it so far! I'm sorry there was that huge break but my computer. well we don't need to go into that(I'll start cussing if I do). Well enjoy the rest!
