But the relief lasted only a few seconds. The next moment, Ella said in a voice filled with despair, “But I actually said, I want to marry him.”

Stephanie’s mind went completely blank. “What? Wait, what did she say to Lorenzo? Marry Lorenzo? What kind of nonsense is this?” Her mind froze for several minutes before she stammered, “W–What did you say? Who do you want to marry again?”

She felt like she must be hallucinating. How else could she have heard Ella say something like that? She actually said she wanted to marry Lorenzo.

Ella’s voice was utterly dejected. “I kind of wish I could just disappear right now.” She felt so embarrassed that she wished the ground would swallow her up. She was so mortified that she couldn’t even bring herself to repeat it.

Stephanie swallowed hard and took several deep breathe.

steady herself. This was just too much. “No, I mean, you…”

Ella continued, “I don’t even want my mouth anymore.” And her hands–they always acted out of control around Lorenzo, and now she wanted nothing to do with them. How could someone be so foolish?

As Stephanie listened to Ella’s pitiful lament, a sudden thought struck her, and she blurted out, “I have to wonder if everything you’ve done before was leading up to this moment.”

Ella’s mind went numb. She quickly denied it, telling the truth. She really hadn’t done it on purpose. “I didn’t mean it.”

Stephanie insisted, “So why were you always messing with Lorenzo’s clothes before? Be honest, Ella. That time in the Shallow Bay when you were unfastening Lorenzo’s belt buckle, was it because you liked him from the start?”

The way everything was unfolding was just too connected–it all seemed random, but now it was smoothly lining up.
