Elphie stared out of her apartment window, thinking. She couldn't believe this had happened. She couldn't believe Fiyero had fallen for a girl like her. Why? He had his wife and family. Why love her? She may never know.
He was coming to see her tonight. She was too excited to do anything at all. She should have been cleaning her "home" but she was busy waiting for him. Soon, she saw him coming and scrambled to clean up.
Fiyero came and as she finished. "Rushing to clean again?" he asked jokingly. She had done this often enough for him to know. Finally, they could start tonight's romantic affair.
