"It's been three day since you worked your plan. Has he proposed yet?" Fiona asked.

"No I messed it up by fighting with him the next morning."

"That sucks."

"I don't know what to do."

"Maybe talk to him."

"No, I am not going to just plan the day and time he proposes."

"You are not going to get married if you don't talk."

"I'll figure out how to make him ask. Just you wait." Clare left the Dot and went home. She found Eli on the couch reading.

"Hey." she said.

"Hey." Eli responded.

"Are you still mad about the fight three days ago?"

"Clare, that's history. Don't worry about it."

"Okay." Clare sat down and snuggled into his arms and he hugged her.

Clare was walking down to see Eli at the Dot. They hadn't fought for a whole week and he asked her to come down for a big surprise. She stopped when he saw Eli talking to another girl. He laughed and hugged her, but before she left kissed her on the cheek. Clare began to cry and ran back home.

Eli walked into the door an hour later and looked to his right to find Clare on the couch crying.

"Clare what's wrong?" Eli came over and tried to hug her, but she pushed him away and walked over to the other side of the room. It was quite and Eli sat on the couch staring at her. Clare finally looked down and said.

"I hate you." Then walked out the door with tears in her eyes. Eli was shocked for a second, but then ran out the door after Clare.

"Clare! Clare!" Eli shouted. He finally caught up with her and stepped in-front of her and held onto her from the sides of her arms so she couldn't move. "Clare listen. I don't know why you're angry at me!"

"I'm not angry at you! I just hate you!" she said still trying to get out of Eli's grip.

"Why?" Eli whispered.

"Because you don't love me." Clare said, and stopped squirming and sat up against a wooden fence.

"Clare." Eli sat down with her. "I do love you. Why do you think I don't?"

"I saw you with that other girl at the Dot."

"That was my cousin. She's getting married. I kissed her to wish her good luck."

Clare was silent. Eli pulled her head down with his left hand so her head was resting on her shoulder. She was upset and Eli didn't think it was a good time for the surprise.

Come on. Let's go back home." Eli helped her up and walked her back home.
