Eva is back from the hospital, she feels a lot better and confident than before. Carter will be back from his trip today and she feels the best way to convince him will be a nice dinner from the restaurant he took her to when he asked her to be his wife.
Carter used to be romantic and sweet to her, he only changed after the wedding, he was the man of her dreams
“You look perfect Eva, you are nothing but perfection, you are an angel who has come to bless me with love, happiness and good fortune. ”
“Why fortune Carter?”. “Well Eva, ever since we crossed paths, everything has changed for the better. I mean, new career breakthroughs and opportunities, you have been an encouragement when doubt creeps in. You are my muse.”
Eva remembered the sweet words he used to say to her, they were the power couple back then. Everyone envied the way he treated her.
She prayed and hoped this dinner would be a reminder of the love they share and would convince him not to leave her. “Ma’am everything is ready and set in pace.” “Thank you, Jolie, I will be downstairs shortly.”
Eva had made everything perfect for Carter for his return. She was unhappy with the news of divorce she got from him early this week before he left. She wanted her marriage to work even though it had always been a one-sided love marriage.
She got him his favorite dish from the famous french cuisine in town, and had the entire house decorated hoping it could remind him of an important day in their life and possibly change his mind and remind him of her endless love and affection for him.
He loved the popular Paupoetter of Sea Bass from Le Bernardin, it had always been his favorite dish there, from the very first day he took her there to their last visit 3 years ago. She remembered the excitement he had every time they went there.
She sat slowly at the dining table waiting for him to come home, the thought of the beautiful romantic past memories Carter and Eva shared trailed in. She remembered the first day he took her to Le Bernardin.
“Eva, I want to show you something outside.” Carter tried to get her outside after having dinner.
“What is that babe?.” “Well, you are going to have to see for yourself .” “Okay, lead the way.” “After you my darling princess.”
Carter led Eva outside the restaurant but it was not the way they came in. There were roses on the floor leading the way outside. Carter was smiling leading her outside, he was so romantic.
Eva was led to a band performance performing her favorite song but with a refix of praising her as the perfect woman of Carter’s dream, a big rose flower was handed over to her and two workers from the restaurant moved in a big poster with “Will you marry me?”.
Eva turned to Carter who was on his knees with a beautiful ring saying “Eva you have been beyond a blessing and guidance to my life, your addition to my imperfect life has made it perfect. I have loved you all my heart and would like to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to wake up to your beautiful face and be blessed. Will you marry me Eva? ”
“Of course I will marry you.”Eva said with a big smile on her face as Carter swept her off her feet and kissed her passionately. He was that kind of person, sweet, loving and caring.
She poured out a glass of water to drink, she believed she could get that version of him back. Just as she dropped the cup her phone rang. It was Dr. Steve “Hi Steve” as she picked up the call.
“Hey Eva, how are you doing?” “I am doing fine and much better, I am taking my drugs regularly if that is what you are checking.”
Eva does not like taking drugs and she usually skips them, a fact Dr. Steve is aware of. “Well, thank God for that but I was not calling for that. We need to see as soon as you are available, I would even appreciate it if you could make time.”
“Steve, you sound worried, is everything okay?” “Yes everything is, i just want to confirm something so i need you to make time.” “Alright then I will make time this week and let you know.”
Eva could hear Carter voice across the room as he is talking with someone who she believes is Jolie. “Steve, I will call you back with the date of when I will be able to visit. I have to go.” She ends the call.
“This is your dining room my darling” Carter's voice brought Eva attention to the door, she dropped her phone as she stood to greet him but she saw an unfamiliar face.
The lady he called Darling. She was confused and asked “who is the young lady Carter, you didn't say we were expecting a guest?.” She said with a faint smile even though she was confused.
“And why should I inform or take permission from you.” “I just was not expecting a guest, that's all. Is she your co-worker?”
“She is not a guest, she is my wife, the love of my life!!!.”
