I don't own them ( Let me know what you think at vacav@hotmail.com - or
just review here! Thanks a lot!
I was watching her, but she didn't know it. I couldn't believe what a breathtaking young woman Sandy had turned out to be - she stood there fidgeting - from her movements I could tell she was nervous - probably wondering where I was. I would put her worries to rest shortly, but I had to admire my sister. I was so proud of her. Yet, in part, I was envious. She was fulfilling her dream - she was marrying the man she loved. And me? Well, I still carry a torch for the only woman I ever loved - but after the way our relationship ended, I made it impossible for her to love me any longer. I even bought her a ring - I carried it around in my pocket waiting to say the right thing, for the right moment to appear. But I never could do it. Every now and then I'll pull the ring out, just to remind myself what I have lost - the diamond has lost the shine, much like her eyes did when I told her it was over. Sometimes I wonder why I didn't just get rid of the ring - I couldn't come up with a suitable answer. But, perhaps it's the same reason I could never get over her.
"Mac, I didn't heard you come up - how long have you been standing there?"
"Oh, not long Sandy - I was just admiring you beautiful you look."
"I can't believe the day is finally here ."
"Well, you make a beautiful bride, there is no question about it."
"Liz did a great job on this dress, didn't she?"
"Yeah, she really outdid herself - she always does."
"Why don't you just talk to her Mac - maybe things have changed. . ."
"She could have her choice of any man, Sandy - after all this, she'd never pick me. Besides, that's the past - and as far as I am concerned, there's no future for Liz and me. We better get going, you have a wedding to attend."
"Okay Mac. . . but I don't understand why you deprive yourself of your one true chance for happiness - I just want you to be as happy as I am - you're my brother, and I love you."
"I love you too, Sandy - let's not talk about this now - it's time for you to become Mrs. Todd Wilkins - and we'll just let Conner McDermott take care of himself."
