The Things That Will Be

Chapter Seventeen

The next day, James found himself in the kitchen making eggs and listening to Shooting For The Moon by Amy Holland.

He could feel it in his heart and soul that today was going to be a good day. The sun outside was shining brightly but the air was cool and crisp. It was about 60°-70° fahrenheit.

Eileen walked into the room and overheard the song and didn't recognize it.

"What song is this?" She asked him.

"Shooting For The Moon by Amy Holland." James said.

"Never heard of it." She said. James nodded.

"It was on Teen Wolf." James said. She shrugged. "Wait, you've never seen Teen Wolf? Michael J Fox as a teen who is a werewolf?"

"Doesn't ring a bell." Eileen said.

"Wow, it's a classic." James said.

"Perhaps we can watch it tonight." Eileen said. James nodded.

"Oh, you bet we are." James said and he hugged her and embraced her. "I love you." She looked at him and smiled.

"I love you too." She said. Around this time outside, an index card flew onto the porch and rested under the welcome mat. There was no knock. But on the front, the card was blank. On the back, the word read:

Coepit

If James would've heard the knock, come outside, and see this card, everything he had calmed down from yesterday would come back and today would be just as scary as yesterday. But alas, fate decided to give James and Eileen this last moment and day of bliss before the treacherous storm heading their way would pass over and the wrath of God, if there was one to begin with, would take over successfully.

The two sat down on the couch and watched Teen Wolf together and ate their dinner.

"I heard a rumor that he actually despises this film." James said. 

"Really?" Eileen asked. James nodded. 

"Yeah, apparently so." James said.

They were close to the end of the film, specifically the scene where Michael J Fox's character arrived at the school dance. James looked over at Eileen and he could tell that she was into the film. James sat there and looked at her with love in his eyes. How did a guy like himself win over a woman such as Eileen? He was one lucky bastard. And he sat there in love with her in this moment.

He then snapped out of his romantic daze and noticed the scene that was on.

"So, Scott's about to be confronted by the principal of the school. This is one of the best scenes." James said. The two finished the movie and both parties were satisfied.

"So, what'd you think?" James asked her.

"I'm surprised I haven't seen it sooner." Eileen said.

"You liked it?" James asked. She nodded with a grin.

"I did." Eileen said.

And soon, the two went to bed and held each other lovingly. And off somewhere close, while the two of them were experiencing this ethereal bliss, fate was being pulled and put together. Coepit.
