"What are you thinking about my love?” Ethan said.
"Nothing." Theresa fibbed.
Ethan walked over to her where she sat at her vanity table and pulled her to her feet.
"Baby I know when something is on your mind. When you're worried about something, your eyebrows crinkle."
"Funny how you know me so well." Theresa laughed.
Ethan tightened his grip around Theresa and kissed her forehead. " I love you so much baby. I know every inch of you. Every part. I know your soul because it's like mine. They're connected in the most passionate way. I know when you're happy and I know when you're sad. Now something has you upset and I want to know what it is."
Theresa loosened Ethan's grip from around her and walked into the kitchen. Ethan followed her. She reached up into her cabinet and pulled out two coffee cups. She poured a cup of this morning's coffee.
"Ugh! This is cold. I'm making a fresh pot, would you like some?"
"Theresa don't try and change the subject."
"What subject?" she said crinkling her brow.
"It's doing it again."
"What?" Theresa said moving into the living room.
"Your brow! Now are you going to tell me what's going on in that head of yours or not!"
"Ethan it's nothing, and besides if I told you, you would only think I was crazy."
"No I wouldn't baby. You shouldn't be afraid to tell me anything. I'm sorry that I make you feel like that."
"Oh Ethan it's not that. I trust you. I feel safe with you. I know you love me. It's just I..."
"What Theresa, please just tell me."
Theresa sat down on the sofa, with Ethan sitting beside her. She looked at him with worry in her eyes.
"Ethan I have never been wrong about fate before. I know something or someone is working against us especially now that the wedding is getting closer. I can feel it in my soul. I would die if something would to come between us."
"Theresa please." Ethan said pulling her into his arms. "We have gone up against fate many times, and our love has always conquered whatever it threw our way. Now there is no reason for you to sit here and stew about it. We will get through this, just like we've gotten through the rest. Remember the letter?"
"Yes, I remember." Theresa snuggled closer to her lover as they remembered the letter she received in the mail four years ago.
FOUR YEARS AGO AT THE LOPEZ-FITZGERALD'S HOUSE
"Hey Theresa." Whitney said walking into the kitchen at the Lopez-Fitzgeralds'.
Theresa didn't answer her best friend. She just stared down at the letter in her hands.
Whitney walked over to where Theresa sat looking very puzzled.
"Hi honey." Whitney said touching her shoulder. "What's up."
"Oh hey Whit, I didn't hear you come in."
"I know. What's got you so engrossed? You look upset."
"The letter from Columbia College in Chicago came today, and I just finished reading it."
Whitney knelt down beside her friend that she met in kindergarten so many years ago.
"I am so sorry honey. I can't believe they didn't accept you. Our class valedictorian. There must be some mistake."
"Oh no Whitney, you don't understand. I did get accepted. Here read."
Whitney took the letter of admissions from Theresa and began to read.
Dear Ms. Lopez-Fitzgerald,
Congratulations; You have been accepted at Columbia College of Chicago, with a full four-year scholarship in Art and Design. There will be a follow up letter that will explain dates and time of registration. Your counselor’s number will be listed as well as your housing number.
Again congratulations Ms. Lopez-Fitzgerald. We hope to see you soon.
Daphne E. Allbright
Dean of Admissions
"Theresa this is so wonderful! It's what you've always wanted."
Theresa just nodded nervously at Whitney.
"What's wrong, you do want to go to Columbia don't you? You've always said that one day you would be this big time fashion designer with not only the talent but the education as well. Why do you look so distraught?"
"I don't know Whit. Ethan and I have only been together a month, and now I have to leave him. I'm not sure if our new relationship can stand the change."
"Now you look here Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. I know your dream is to marry Ethan Crane, but this is your dream also, and has been ever since we were in the first grade. You shouldn't let any one come in between you being successful. Not even the all mighty Ethan Crane."
"I know Whit, I know. I just hope that Ethan and I can get through this."
"You will honey. I just don't see you and Ethan calling it quits because you're moving away from Harmony."
"Whitney, you know what people say about long distant relationships. They don't last."
"That's just crazy Theresa. If you and Ethan love each other like you say you do, nothing can come in between you. Now, when are you going to tell him?"
"Well, he had to go away for a few days on business, but he should be back in four days. That should give me enough time to create the most romantic dinner for when I break the news to him. Of course I'll have to buy a new negligee for the evening."
Whitney blushed.
"So Whit, I think it's great you're going to Harmony University. One day I'm going to turn on my TV and see you playing at Wimbledon."
"Yeah, hopefully soon. It's what I've wanted for so long."
"And Chad!"
"And Chad!" Whitney said smiling. "Theresa he is so wonderful. He was accepted at H.U. also."
"You’re kidding!" Theresa said throwing her arms around Whitney. "This is great, how did this happen?"
"Well, he still wants to find out who his parents are, he's not going to give up on that, but in the mean time, he wanted to study music so he would have more than just a talent for it."
"Good for him." Theresa said sharply. "Well Whit, I am so happy for you guys. You know, you two are the most perfect couple next to Ethan and I."
"You're right Theresa. You and Ethan are perfect together, and he knows that also, so don't worry telling him about Columbia. O.K.?"
"Yes, Whit. I'm sure everything will work out." Theresa said with a crinkle in her brow.
BACK TO THE PRESENT
"Did you call boss?"
"Yes."
A woman sat behind a desk with her chair turned towards her office window, 33 floors up. The only thing could be seen by the person standing behind her, was her long, freshly dyed blond hair, and the shoulders of her deep red suit.
"How can I help boss?"
"I want you to take the package on my desk and mail it to the address that is written on it. Absolutely no one is to trace this package to me. Do you understand?"
"Yes boss."
The man picked up the package, turned, and left the office very quickly.
The woman turned in her seat and put out her cigarette, which was only half smoked.
"There's a package coming for you Theresa. And soon my dear, I will get my revenge."
The woman let out a very dangerous cackle that would chill anyone who heard it.
