Surprises at the Door
As Ethan holds the ring box in his hand outside Theresa's door, he raises his hand to knock, when he can hear her crying.
"God, the torture I've put her through! NO more! Theresa is the only woman I love and we will be together forever!" Ethan opens the door to Theresa's room slowly, and looks around for her.
He finds her sitting curled up beside her bedroom window. "Theresa" he says softly.
She turns toward Ethan with a tear-stained face, and sighs. "I know, Ethan. I know you picked Gwen over me."
Ethan takes a deep breath, as he doesn't tell Theresa his news yet. "No, Theresa, I haven't picked either of you yet. I just went to Gwen's room to talk, that's all."
"Oh." Theresa says, as Ethan watches her shoulders slump.
"God, how I love this woman!" Ethan thinks to himself. "Can I sit next to you, and talk?"
"Yeah, I guess." Theresa says as she scoots over on the window seat bench.
"Theresa, will you look at me?" Ethan asks softly.
She slowly moves her face from the window, and stares into the eyes of the man she loves. The two feel the connection between them grow in intensity, but remain their distances.
"Do you remember that first time we met at the carnival?" Ethan asks, trying to bring a smile to Theresa's face as he watches and realizes his plan is working.
"Yeah, we weren't on the best of terms that day, were we?" She asks as she smiles in memory.
"No, we definitely were not. But, who would have thought that all this time later, we would have fallen in love?"
"I told you fate worked. Too bad it didn't come true today, apparently."
Ethan senses the bitterness coming from Theresa, and scolds himself for putting her through this pain. "We've definitely had some crazy times together." Ethan says as he thinks back on his relationship with Theresa.
"God, are you trying to punish me or something by having Ethan reminiscence about the past? Why can't he just tell me his decision?" Theresa thinks to herself as she looks out the window.
"Yeah, we have, Ethan."
"But, it's been those crazy times, that made me fall in love with you, you know."
"I guess we had a crazy kind of love from the start." Theresa says.
"Crazy, yes, but you know what? You were right about something."
"What?" Theresa asks.
"Look at me, Theresa." Ethan says slowly, as he stares into his love's beautiful brown eyes.
"You were right that Fate would bring us together. And here we are, proving Fate right."
Theresa blinks twice as Ethan's words register into her mind slowly. "Ethan. What are you saying?"
Ethan takes a deep breath, and then takes Theresa's hand... "Theresa.."
