It's been forever since I've updated, and I know that. But I'll give you the alternate Chapter 2 right here. Just incase you're interested, of course. wink, wink

After nibbling down on some carrots, Quigley said, "Violet?"

"Yes?" I answered. He picked up an ice chunk and chucked it down the side of the mountain.

"Have you ever told anyone, I mean besides a family member or someone, I love you?" he asked hesitantly.

I briefly looked at him. My throat was in knots. "Well, no," I said. "I guess not."

After about five minutes, he said, "Has anyone ever told you that your eyes are like caramel?"

That turned me on my head. But I shook my head no.

But I decided to test him, though I was sure he was sure of himself. "Am I beautiful?" I asked.

He said, "I think you're very beautiful."

Then he kissed me. I mumbled, "My bra's a little tight. Can you loosen it for me?"

I'd figure a guy would be like, 'Okay!' But Quigley was a true gentleman.

He released his grip and gulped. Then he said, "Violet, I can't do this." I knew it. He wouldn't pass. He was a gentleman, like I'd hoped.

"But, I do love you, Violet," he said. "You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

"Then, will you be my man?" I said. "Will you be my best girl?" he said. I nodded, and so did he.

So now we're dating.
