What a fantastic distraction from an otherwise moronic day at work.
I love how you addressed the wedding ring. I wondered about that too.
I like the mystic approach and view. It's a step in a diferant direction for the genre so far and I dig it. I'm always up for something new.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the two of them hanging out next to the lake. It was such a pleasant moment, and very touching, just like the rest of the story.
Now that I've seen this, I understand Beck's behavior and it actually made my heart hurt a little to think of him at the ball, watching her dance with someone else.
Heather is going to get the shock of a lifetime the next time she talks to Beck alone. And perhaps some making out because those two NEVER did that enough on the show ;)
What a fantastic distraction from an otherwise moronic day at work. Yes, I have had days at work where I feel very much like the kid from the Sixth Sense -- except I see stupid people. Seriously, this week I've been asked if we carry packing peanuts, store fixtures (peg board walling), pressboard, and lights that you see on commercials that are usually prefaced with "but that's not all..." Um, you do realize you're in a CRAFT store, right? Loved peg board lady -- who insisted that a friend got her peg boards at the store. I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying, "Well, ma'am, was this before or after your friend succumbed to a crack-induced haze? Because I'm guessing it was after

"Well, ma'am, was this before or after your friend succumbed to a crack-induced haze? Because I'm guessing it was after..."*sigh* That was my day yesterday for sure. I sell sewing machines. But, we're a dealer, so we only sell specific kinds. And I had a woman yesterday come in swearing up and down that she bought her machine with us a few years back. And it was a brand we have never carried that went out of business in the 80's. She wasn't that old, so I can't even claim she was one of my crazy craft ladies. I spent 30 minutes trying to explain that there was no possible way we would have sold her a twenty year old machine made by a company we don't sell. *sigh
( ... )
I'd love to get into sewing. My mom has a husqvarna and I'd like get one of those if I were to ever get a sewing machine. But that is down on my list past getting a laptop and a Canon Rebel, so chances are I wouldn't be getting it anytime soon. On top of that, I really have no place in my apartment at this point to put it. I had a similar problem with a customer recently. She came in swearing up and down that she had her art framed at my location about 3 or 4 years ago and wanted us to replace the frame -- free of charge. I looked at the frame and it was completely unfamiliar to me. I told the woman that I had been working for the company for 7 years and I had never seen that frame in the seven years that I worked for the company. I gave her a discount on her order, but she continued to grumble as she paid for the order. When I went to take it apart, I found that the frame still had its order tag on it -- from September of 1996! So, yeah, she got it done 3 or 4 years ago, then apparently hit a wormhole that she traveled

Okay this whole chapter had me seriously choked up. It was lovely and sweet, and I thought you did go good job of Lisa "passing the torch" to Heather.
that if only given a little more time and Heather’s consent, his love for her would be just as deep. Not the same as what he held for his wife. Lisa was right, he had changed. But his love for Heather could be just as deep
Thank you for that - for the acknowledgement that the love for Heather wouldn't be "second best" - just different, but equally important and real, and it doesn't detract from the love that's gone before. No hint of "love the one you're with" in this little story. :)
Poor Beck - sniffle - I'm glad he's found some measure of peace and comfort, even if he doesn't really understand why.

No hint of "love the one you're with" in this little story. :) Well, part of that came from a discussion my older brother and I had once, that there is no one right person for each of us, but likely a few right people for each of us, that the relationships are just different because of where we might be in our lives when we met them or vice versa.
Yeah, unfortunately, Beck is going to need that peace and comfort because I have a feeling I'm not going to be too nice to him for a little bit longer. :/

I agree with this 100%. I also believe that anytime you love somebody, that love never truly dies, even though you may love somebody else just as much. As I like to describe it: "The part of me that is always 22 will forever love that person. But I'm not 22 anymore..." Different times in life; different loves (sometimes. :) ).

Oh, dear. Now I'm worried. Although, I guess I'll just have to make sure Heather comforts him in my story. LOL ;)
