She was visibly shaking from nervousness. She knew she liked him, but did she really want to pursue a
relationship with him? Wait, whoever said this was Gordo on the phone. Oh well, only one way to find out.
L: H-hello? Sure enough, Gordo's familiar voice was on the other end.
G: H-hey Lizzie! I think we should talk...in person. His breathing was uneven, he seemed unsure of what he was about to say.
"Could you meet me at the swings in the park in about 1 hour?"
L: Sure...I'll see you soon. She gave a quick good-bye and went to take a shower. When she was out and had dried her
hair, she turned on the radio and sang along with the familiar lyrics.
*You've been searching the world to find true love
Looking in all the wrong places
When all of this time, you've been blind to love
As plain as the nose on your faces
It's here, Its now
Open your eyes and see it
Right here, right now
open your eyes to love
You've been down on yourself thinking somethings are wrong
Wondering why love has never found you
Don't you know its been right here all along
If only you'd look around you
Its here, its now
Open your eyes and see it
Right here, right now
Open your eyes to love
Love has been right by your side
Oh so close that you couldn't see
If love could speak, it would shout to the sky
I've always been here, I always will be*
Lizzie couldn't take it anymore, she snapped off the radio. It was fate, if she had had any doubts about her feelings
for Gordo, they were gone now. The song was perfect, but it also kind of made her feel stupid. "Love has been right here
all along." Had she really been that naive? She looked at the clock and realized that she had 15 min. She decided to get
an early start so she could have a few minutes to herself.
When she arrived there was no one in sight, except one figure moving among the swings muttering to themselves.
It was silent, except for the quiet chirping of the occasional bird. As she moved closer to the swings she recognized the
lone figure. Apparantly Gordo had decided to get an early start too.
GORDO'S POV
I couldn't believe Lizzie ha actually agreed to meet with me, this was it, I had to ask her how she felt. 15 minutes
before I was set to meet her I couldn't take the silence of my empty house. Maybe at the park I would be able to sort
out my thoughts at the park. I approached the swings but decided not to sit down. I started to pace and looked up for a
split second to see Lizzie coming closer to the park. I guess she couldn't wait any longer either. This gave him a slight
glimmer of hope as he watched her come closer...

AN: What ya think? For those of you who don't know, the song was LMNT - Open your eyes (to love). I think this was my
longest chapter yet, I promise things will get interesting in the next chapter.
