Sophie headed back from the matchmakers office, sad and lonely, hoping that Fitz would still like her. By the end of the day she was sure he would, but she didn’t know if she could let him. When it was near midnight, she went to bed, thoughts keeping her awake but her tired body drifted off to sleep.

The next day

“Here we go,” Sophie said softly as she steeped into the light path to Everglen. She was super nervous but she knew she had to do it. She knocked on the door and Fitz opened it.

“Sophie!” He said happily as she gave a small wave hello

“Can I talk to you?” She asked. “In private.” Fitz nodded and she led him to the lake that was just another feature of the expansive mansion. “I went to the matchmakers yesterday,” she said to him, once they were far away from the actual house.

“That’s great Sophie!” Fitz said. Sophie sighed and mumbled.

“I’m unmatchable,” she managed to say loudly after several minutes. Fitz didn’t answer her for a second and she hoped he wasn’t mad.

“You think I would care about that, Sophie, I don’t care.” He was clearly very optimistic right now.

“I care,” Sophie slowly said.

“Your family’s name has been trashed with all of the Alvar stuff, Fitz. I can’t make you be a bad match on top of that,” she said, wiping a tear from her eye.

“I guess you should go then,” Fitz said, he looked sad now. Sophie felt terrible.

But she didn’t know who was going to be there for her as soon as she went home.
