Okay, this will definitely be the last chapter with a cliffhanger. Actually, it's not really a sort of unanswered question, more of an answered question but you can't wait to see what will happen next. Brace yourselves, this chapter ain't gonna be a fantasy.

~Recap
“I’m tired of hanging around!” I continued. “You used to be the love of my life! And you still are and I know I’m yours too but the fact that you keep him hanging around is driving me crazy! I may seem like just some toy to you. You think I’ll cling to you no matter what you do but I’m tired, Lindsey. It’s either I’m your first option or you don’t get me at all!”
Lindsey closed her eyes, took a deep breath and stood up. She didn’t even kiss me or gave me eye contact. She simply left the garden and my house without even a goodbye. What had I done?
He opened the box and revealed a ring with a small, simple shiny diamond rhinestone on top. “Lea Nathalie Jansen, will you marry me?”

~I am lost, I am vain, I will never be the same without you.~
“Are you serious?!” I yelled out smiling widely.
“How could I be lying?” Lea laughed showing off her finger. The silver ring shining as Danny and I peered into it.
“I can’t believe it!” I smiled. “I brought a couple together and now, they’re about to get married!”

“Oh, how did things go with you and Olivia?” Chris asked. Lea sort of filled him in about…I guess, everything.
“We’re doing great.” Danny’s smiled grew even bigger. “I won’t say anything else but all you need to know is that we’re doing great!”
“And how about you and Lindsey?” Lea questioned.
I have this belief that in every conversation, there is at least one moment of awkward silence. It usually happens when one question is brought up and it just can’t be answered. It’s sort of like taboo. For this conversation, that had to be the one.
I still haven’t heard from Lindsey. I knew that she had left because of what I said and I know that she went back to New York but what would she do in New York?
Who knows what would happen? Lindsey must be devastated. I really hurt her. I always told her that she could take her time to adjust to the two of us so that she could let go of Derek as gently as possible. What if she didn’t break up with Derek?
