"You cannot catch me!" Elizabeth laughed in the maze running from Forsyth.

Forsyth than jumped over the bushes and caught her. She laughed as he did.

Suddenly they heard "Elizabeth?"

They turned and saw a redhead and Elizabeth screamed and ran over hugging him.

"You're home brother..." Elizabeth mentioned.

He smiled and told her "the army could not keep me from you for so long..."

She laughed as her brother said "and you are?"

Elizabeth said "the boy I sent you a letter about Archibald..."

He then said "Forsyth...it's nice to meet you Mr Andrews."

Archibald was hesitant but took his hand and nodded still questioning Forsyth.

"I'm sure you have taken care of my sister well." He mentioned.

Elizabeth nodded as suddenly their mother came out and smiled seeing him.

"My son..." she muttered out in slight tears.

She walked over and hugged and kissed his head saying "Elizabeth stop fooling around we must get your dress prepared for tonight's ball."

She smiled and nodded as suddenly both Forsyth and her brother had said to her.

"Allow me to escort you..."

They looked at one another as Elizabeth said "I love you brother but I have found him now to take me, now you may take some girl you like."

She laughed and Forsyth smiled as Elizabeth ran inside.

"I do not know what you have intent with my sister for...but if it's something deviant I will kill you." Archibald mentioned.

Forsyth nodded and walked off and Archibald sighed. That night Elizabeth and Forsyth were in arms as they walked inside. Elizabeth saw her parents go off as Forsyth immediately spun her to dance.

As they did she asked "you know everything about me...I must know more about you."

He nodded and she said "parents? Brothers? Sisters"

He shook his head "all died and I had no siblings."

Elizabeth frowned and said "aspirations?"

Forsyth shrugged and said "I want to go through the unexpected..."

She nodded and as they continued Archibald couldn't help but feel something about Forsyth was off but he did know what.

As Forsyth held her as they danced he said "how about we go?"

She smiled and nodded, he smiled and they left quickly. They ran to his cottage and she laughed holding his hand as she held her dress to run.
