enough, and she better get upstairs to him. She strode towards the
elevator of her apartment building, when suddenly a familiar figure
entered the lobby. It was Evan!
    She rushed into the elevator, and anxiously
pushed the button, trying to close the door in time. She thought
she’d be safe from him, but at the last second, he managed to shove
his hand in the way, and the doors slid back open. Evan blocked
them open with his body, trapping her from being able to close
them.
    “I told you, I don’t want to talk to you
anymore Evan!” she glared at him quietly.
    “I know.” Evan said softly, a look of defeat
in his eyes. She’d never seen him looking so pitiful, and it
softened her heart. “I just wanted to get to say goodbye to you,
the right way. You were right to tell me that I’d become too
controlling. You were right to want to make your own choices and
decisions. I shouldn’t have gone crazy the way that I did that
night. I didn’t mean any of those things that I said. I love you
Andie; and I realize now more than ever just how much you mean to
me. Please come back to me, and I promise to always treat you
right.”
    Andie looked at the man she had loved for
over two years, and found she couldn’t completely close her heart
to him. He looked so genuinely sad, and sounded so sincerely sorry.
She that real tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.
    “I just don’t know, Evan” Andie said,
suddenly unsure of everything she’d known only moments before. “Can
you really change that much in such a short time? Can I ever really
trust you again?”
    “Just take this, and think about it. I’ll
call you tomorrow and we can talk more then.” Evan said. He handed
a small gift bag and left. The elevator doors closed instantly
behind him, and started carrying Andie up to her apartment.
    She looked in the bag and saw it held a small
velvet ring box. She opened it with shaking hands and saw it held
the most brilliant diamond ring she’d ever seen. A tiny note in the
lid of the box said “Marry Me” in Evan’s handwriting.
    As the elevator reached her floor, and the
doors opened, Andie just stood there with an engagement ring from
Evan in one hand, and a paddle from Ryan in the other.
    The doors closed again, and she looked at her
reflection in them and wondered who she should choose.

    Chapter One

    There was the quick sound of footsteps coming
towards the back office, Lisa hastily stood up and tried to adjust
her facial expression, but it was too late. Her sister stood by the
door staring at her with concern on her face.
    “Liz, are you okay?” Diane asked gently.
    Lisa saw beyond the concern to the
apprehension darkening her sister’s eyes and felt stupid. She knew
Diane was still reeling from the loss of their father even if he
had made her life an absolute hell. Yet here she was, wasting tears
for a man who did not even deserve one drop of her sweat. She stood
up from the chair with a sigh, “It is fine Di. Did you need
something?”
    Diane hesitated, her sky-blue eyes blinking
behind her glasses, then she must have decided to drop it; instead
another form of concern clouded her eyes, “Have you heard from
Harry? Brad had to man the bar this evening and he’s taking it out
on the rest of us. It doesn’t help that Shawn didn’t show up
either.”
    Lisa stiffened then sighed, she might as well
let her know. “I think Harry might be too busy to show up this
night.” Even though she spoke quietly, she certainly had her
sister’s attention.
    “Why? What happened? Was he in an
accident?”
    “Di calm
