cooking their steaks. “Men and women who possess great minds have argued for centuries over the matter of destiny versus free will. Is it your destiny to marry Tom or is that a choice you make? If your marriage is nothing more than your fate or destiny, then we can end our conversation right now and enjoy the homemade ice cream.”
    Neither Michelle nor Scott understood exactly where he was going with his ideas. Michelle then spoke in a clear and concise tone. “It would be my choice and mine alone.”
    William next turned his attention to Scott and given his question, Scott started to understand what William’s intentions were. “Tell me something Scott. When you were reading the script, was there anything you said to Michelle that was untruthful?”
    Scott was reluctant to answer his question for several reasons and his hesitation caused Michelle to turn her attention from William to him. It was clear to Scott that she wanted to hear his answer. He then turned to look at Michelle. “Everything I said was the truth.”
    William then continued as he glanced back at Michelle. “The day you told Tom that you would marry him, did you know that Scott had been in love with you since the first time you ever met?”
    William gave her no opportunity to answer his question before he spoke again and Scott could see the confusion in Michelle’s eyes. “Tell me something Michelle. In the privacy of your own thoughts, did you ever wish that you and Scott could have been in love with each other and not just friends?”
    William rose to his feet, indicating he was getting ready to leave. “The world is full of endless possibilities and each of you is free to make choices in your best interest. Betsy told you both that I would provide you with an opportunity, but I have decided to offer you two opportunities. I won’t discuss the second offer until I see what you do with my first offer. I have a beach house at Emerald Isle, which is about a one-hour drive from here. Either one or both of you are welcome to use that home for several days. You can leave tonight and be there by ten-thirty.”
    William started for the door, but turned around just before leaving. The keys to the beach house are in an envelope on the table in the foyer. I suggest you take a few minutes to talk it over and then join your family and friends for some ice cream”
    When Michelle was sure William had left the building, she looked at Scott with an almost relentless stare. Sometime between the ninth and tenth grades, she had abandoned her tomboy ways having traded her baseball uniform for dresses. What she did not trade away was her assertive nature, which was never obnoxious or overly confrontational. Rather, she had the ability to stand up for herself and Scott suspected he was getting ready to see that part of her personality. 
    What Scott actually saw was a mix of emotions that he was not prepared to deal with. She appeared vulnerable, assertive, confused, happy, and hurt all at the same time. He really was not sure if he should put his arms around her or just run like hell for the door.
    In a moment of brief wisdom, Scott tried to focus her attention on William and away from himself. “Well, I sure didn’t see that coming.”
    She started walking slowly towards Scott with an almost fierce expression. “What didn’t you see coming, Scott?”
    In deference to her apparent mixed set of moods, Scott opted to be as vague and evasive as possible. “Actually, I didn’t see any of this coming. Who knew?”
    “So what you’ re really telling me is that you didn’t see my world being turned upside down in two minutes.” Michelle said as she came closer.
    Scott had known Michelle for almost ten years and for the first time, he was having a hard time reading her. Scott understood what she was going through, but he was anything but certain of her reaction to their brief experience. He chose to address the issue head on and give up any attempt at avoidance.
