"You were not going to go through with it were you? You never had the intention of marrying, Graham, am I wrong?"
"Let's not talk about this now, Alice..."
"Oh, why not now? When would be a better time, please tell me. I'd love to know. Or should I go to Victoria to get all my answers since she seems to know a lot more..."
"Don't bring Victoria into this."
"You brought her into it, Graham. She knew, all along, she knew. She never minded me, I never really had you. No, she had you and then Keshia did. I was just a distraction between the two."
"It's not like that, Alice! I refuse to let you believe this is what it is. I do love you but my feelings for Keshia are different. Stronger."
Alice looked into Graham's eyes, she could see the shame and the pain.
"You were not going to marry me, Graham, I know. Because it would have been dishonest to lead me on this way. I just don't understand why you let it go this far though."
"I had every intention of marrying you, Alice, and being a great husband. The engagement was real, I meant every word when I asked you to marry me..."
"Oh, really? Like I was the only woman in this world you loved more than life? Bullshit!"
Graham took a step back; shocked. He'd known Alice for years and even when she was mad, she would never use a bad word. He had never seen her that way. She was in a total fury. There was no reasoning possible.
"I'm sorry, Alice...I thought all was settled and didn't realize I still had feelings for Keshia when I proposed. She's married and happy. I am engaged and also happy although you probably don't believe me.
I do need some time to think things over and understand what exactly is going on with me but if you'll be patient..."
"Graham, you better get out. I've never felt like this and I don't know what I might do."
"Alice..."
Graham reached out his hand to her but she pushed it and turned her back.
"GET OUT!!!"

Sorry about that late post...Lol, I'm confused because it's only partly a week but not really. Anyways, you have a date on the next one. Enjoy the drama... LOL
Wow, the post is a lot more late than I originaly thought. I should be able to post tomorrow.
Wow, I'm running extremely late, sorry very hectic week. Getting there, I'm really hoping I won't be too tired when I get back from work tonight! :S
Me again, ok, it's official, I'm taking a mini vacation, I have WAY too much on my plate, job hunting, the early stages of what could be a new romance, my current job and trying to get my life in order. Enough is enough.
Unless the second writer decides to make the post (so the writing style would be different). I will be back at the latest by the 7th of November. (Worst case scenario.) I'm extremely sorry. My life hasn't been so exciting in a while! ;)
Caroline,
I know you are taking a mini vacation. Life get's very busy, and it seems more so now than ever. I just wanted you to know that I look forward to you resuming this blog. Thanks for writing it and thanks for keeping us up to date with what's going on with you.
