She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

"So, uh, Dylan has been trying to convince me of something I think is ridiculous! He seems to think that during the time we spent together in the theater troupe, that you were in love with me. Ridiculous, I know, right?" Victoria said.

Alice locked eyes with Victoria in a serious but unthreatening manner and said, "What if I told you it wasn't so ridiculous?"

"It isn't?" Victoria said, pleading. Pleading it to be true, and deathly afraid it wasn't.

"It's not," Alice said. "I was in love with you Victoria Mae Waters. Were you in love with me, Alice Marie Fairfax?"

"I don't know," Victoria said. She looked lost in a sea of self doubt and confusion.

"You don't know?" Alice said, with a slightly raised voice. "Would you Victoria Mae Waters have taken me, Alice Marie Fairfax in sickness and in health, til death did we part?"

"Yes! Of course I would have!" Victoria said, trembling.

"That's love you imbecile!" Alice said.
