to marry him! Can you believe that? I’m getting married!”
                  “What?” Caitli n was floored by the announcement . “What are you talking about?”
                  “I’m getting married!”
                  “To S ir Anthony? But you hardly know him! And just where the hell will you live?”
                  Val tried to calm down. “I’m going to live with him. In the middle ages. I never really did ask him what year it is where he’s from. Oh Caitlin, can you believe it? I’m finally getting married!”
                  Caitlin didn’t know whether to be more shocked or horrified at the revelation.
                  “Good god Val! You were saying just a while ago that you were only here to say goodbye. T hat it couldn’t work out!”
                  “I know what I said.” Val stilled. “Caitlin. I’m never going to find a guy like Anthony anywhere else. Especially not in this day and age. He could never fit in here. Hell, what would he do for a living? In his own time and place, though, he could actually be a really good provider.” Val patted her stomach. “We’ll need that.”
                  “You’re pregnant? You’re pregnant!” She pulled Val into a hug of her own. “Oh my god! I mean congratulations! But Val …. ” She pulled away from her friend and studied her face. “Val, you’d be giving up so much . And you hardly know him! ”
                  “ Stop saying that! Look, I know. The re’s a lot of stuff I’ll miss -- m ostly my best friend in the whole world. But, Caitlin, I’m in love with him . I know I haven’t known him a long time, but I know what I feel . I was miserable the whole time I was away from him. I know it’s a huge risk and I’ll be giving up every modern convenience, but love doesn’t exactly come around all that often. I’ve never been so crazy about any man. Especially n ot one who’s crazy about me too! ”
                  “I just. Can’t believe it.”
                  “Caitlin…I know that we always had a thing where neither of us pries in the other’s love life, but…well, you’ve been miserable too. I can see that.”
                  She’s right. I have been.   She shook her head. “Val, there’s just no way it could work out.”
                  “Why the hell not? This place is here for a reason. If that kind of relationship never worked out, would they offer it as a choice?”
                  “I guess I never thought about that….”
                  Val kissed her on the cheek. “ Well do.  Anyway, Anthony’s waiting in the room. I just couldn’t leave without saying goodbye.”
                  They squeezed each other tight ly for a few minutes. “Why not give the guy a fair chance, Caitlin? It isn’t like you could never come home if it didn’t work out! ”
                  A fair chance?
                  “Goodbye Val.” She sniffled and tried to smile for the last time at her very best friend. “I’ll miss you.”
                  “Me too. But don’t just write me off! I mean, jeez, I can always come and visit you, where ever you end up! ”
                  Val virtually skipped to the door leading to the hall of historic dates and mates. “Bye Caitlin!”
                  In moments, Caitl in was left alone with nothing but her thoughts.
                  Had she really given Killian a fair chance after all? Enough of one to learn about him, to like him , but a real chance? Val is giving up everything for a chance at happiness. Would I really be giving up that much to be with Killian? She turned toward the door she had rushed out of only minutes before.
