Thanks to those who follow it :)
Thanks to those who follow it :) The next days we were all quite busy. Mailee moved out and Lyle moved in. We helped Luther and Mailee with the new house and after 2 weeks all was fine. Then Luther got an offer to participate in an exchange in his baseball team, so he and Mailee needed to leave Sunset Valley for some months. I was a bit sad, but it was a great chance for Luther, and Mailee wanted to do all which helped his career. The wedding was postponed what was great for Mailee. She told me before that she´d prefer to marry in a great dress and all pretty – not looking like a whale.
Due to all these I never thought in Norton and luckily I didn´t meet him or his wife in the town.
I just enjoyed my time with Lyle. We were still very busy with our jobs but there was always time for a talk before we went to bed.
Time for talking and cuddling.
We shared all our thoughts. And I tried to forget that I still have to tell Lyle about Norton and the baby. I was afraid of it, but I also knew the longer I wait the worse it will be.
I didn´t want to disturb the harmony in our life.
We both were promoted and the funny thing is the higher you climb the job ladder the less you have to work. This is the life in Sunset Valley.
So we had more time to sepnd together and we enjoyed each single second of it. Life was beautiful.
We ate a lot French restaurant. Money wasn´t a problem anymore and we also took in consideration to move to Luthers and Mailee next neighboorhood. The surrounding there is amazing and we both loved the idea to be close to them when they´ll be back. Lyle was a very romantic soul and he loved to take me to the most beautiful spots in town. Our favourit is the beach in the moonlight.
We both loved the sound of the breaking waves and the gnashing sand under your feet.
At the beach we always had our best and most intensive conversations.
And at the beach under a clear blue starry sky he asked me to be his wife.
“I need to tell you something. I love you Ellen. I love to wake up every single day by your side. And I want to do that for the rest of my life. Ellen, you´d like to marry me?”
My heartbeat stopped for a second. It seemed that all my dreams came true.
“Sure I will. I love you too.”
I hold me tight and whispered:”You made my the luckiest man. You are amazing Ellen and I am happy to spend the rest of my life as your husband.”
Tears came into my eyes. I was so incredibly happy. Just a small black cloud was disturbing. I need to tell him about Norton. But not now …
Tomorrow is another day.
More tomorrows and more other days passed by. I didn´t tell him nothing.
And then, 6 days after Lyle proposed I saw HIM again.
I passed by the art gallery and he just left the gallery. Alone. I tried to ignore him. The tree in front of the gallery seemed pretty much interesting to me.
But he saw me too and he came up to me.
“Hi Ellen.” He seemed very nervous. “You look great.”
I did´t know what to say.
“I know that you don´t want to talk to me and that you are still angry. But I need to say that I am so awfully sorry. I was an idiot. What I said to you in the hospital was horrible. I know that. In the moment you needed me the most I was such an idiot. Sorry. I´d wish I could wash me words away.”
I still was speechless.
But then all the anger broke out.
“You are sorry huh? YOU ARE SORRY. And yes you are an idiot. As you know I don´t want to talk to you. Why you are doing it? To feel better??”
I raised my voice hysterically.
“Ellen, I know that it´s not done and forgotten with saying sorry. And I am more than sorry. I was so confused at this time. And if you believe it or not, I was sad too about the child. It was my child too. I´d loved the idea to have this baby with you. It was a proof of our love.”
“Ha. You have a child with your wife, remember?! With that wife you never wanted to leave, remember?!”
He looked all sad and embarrassed. “I don´t ask you to forgive me. I just wanted to let you know that. I loved you Ellen, and you still mean a lot to me. I cared about you after you had left the town. I went crazy as I didn´t know what happened to you. You can´t imagine how happy it made me when I knew that you are here and okay.”
I looked in his eyes and I recognized that he was telling the truth. In this moment I was aware that I wasn´t angy with him anymore.
“I don´t know if I can ever forget your words, but I forgive you. I know you loved me.”
He sighed. “Thank you. I won´t ask you to be my friend or something. I just want you understand my feelings too and not to ignore me when we meet in public. A single HI is fine.”
I always loved honest person. Norton was honest, he always was. He never lied to me and he never hided something from me. I wanted people to be honest with me, but sometimes it was hard for me to deal with the truth.
“I will say hi when I meet you the next time.”
“Thank you. Ellen, you are amazing and I wish that all your dreams come true. That you will be lucky. You deserve it.”
He turned around and walked away.
I went home, a bit troubled but relieved. Yes, I deserved to be happy. And I will be happy. Happy with Lyle.
I put me in fromt of the tv to relax. Lyle came home quite early today and sat down next to.
“Hi beauty. How was your day?”
I thought in telling him now all but then … Then I was a coward.
“Oh quite boring. How was yours?”
“I had a difficult surgery today. The risk that the man would die was enormous. But all went fine and the man will recover totally.”
“Oh, that´s wonderful. You are the best.”
“Yes, I am. That´s why my boss offered my the position as his substitute. He even said that with 1 or 2 years more practice I will be a better surgeon than him.”
He moved closer to me and we spent the rest of the evening cuddling up in front of the tv. No need to talk about the past.
Deep inside I knew that I have to tell him about Norton. Not to tell something isn´t lying, but he will be my husband soon and he needs to know all. He deserve to know all.
Why I was such a coward?!
He interrupted my thoughts: “I´ll go to bed hun. I am tired and tomorrow I have a date with the management to sign the contract for my new assignment.” He kissed me softly.
“Night sweetheart. I will stay a bit longer. They will show later the new episode of “Heroes”.
“Enjoy, beauty. I love you.”
He went to bed and left me with a bad bad conscience.

Very good chapter. Well yes, I think she ought to tell him: one thing is having had boyfriends in the past and another having had a baby. But anyway.... everybody has a past that has nothing to do with our present. Good work.
