Wicked Wednesday #322 — Tradition

Rafe came from a traditional family, his mother and father had been married for a long time. His departure from this was inexplicable, his departure from that tradition caused his separation from his fiancée.
This was his third end of engagement from Eliza, and he was shell-shocked at first because he did not want to end their engagement. He had proposed to her because he wanted to marry her, and because he could not imagine his life without her. Now here he was, alone again without her and there was nothing that he wanted to do but be with her.
But this time he was not going to chase her, this time he was going to give her the space that she needed. The last time he made it too much about him. This time he was going to let her see that she wanted to be with him too. That she had agreed to marry him because she wanted to spend her life with him.
He saw her in newspapers, she looked happy and was with the same guy when she was with a guy. He knew that guy, and he was sure that he was happy to swoop right in. Who would not be happy to swoop right in, and take Eliza? She was the type of woman that you wanted forever.
The pictures of himself that he saw in the newspaper, he looked like a caricature of himself. He looked like a stern business man—and he was always alone. Did Eliza note that he was alone in all of his photos?
His father even called him, and asked him what was going on and what was he going to do? Rafe explained that he was waiting, that he was going to get her back. She was his, and she would realize it on her own.
He was not much of a gambler, but this was biggest gamble of his life and he had to win it.
He had to get her back.
