Elizabeth Schuyler stood near the snack table at the winter party stuffing cheese puffs in her face as she watched a man at the end of the room. He was so handsome. Her sister Angelica stood near her chatting with a man with jet black hair. She looked to see what had gotten her sister's attention. Her eyes widened and she smirked. Eliza saw her sister and got nervous and jealous. She pulled her sister by the arm and whispered into her ear. "This ones mine." She said
Angelica smiled and walked over to the man. Eliza now made her ways to the chips after finishing the bowl of cheese puffs. Shoving them down her throat, she watch nervously as Angelica talked to the man. Eliza sighed and knew that her sister was much more attractive than she. The man probably won't think about anyone else after he met Angelica. Still having a bit of hope in her, Eliza continued to watch. Her sister than made a gesture towards her. The man looked at her. Eliza felt as though they were the only people in the world when their eyes met.
Angelica smirked and took the man, who's name was Alexander and led him to her. "Where are you taking me?" He asked. "Imma bout to change your life." She replied. "Then by all means lead the way." He said with a smile. She lead him over to Eliza. She stopped and Angelica could see that her breathing was becoming ragged. "Elizabeth Schuyler. It's a pleasure to meet you." Eliza said stuttering. "Schuyler?" Alexander said, looking at Angelica. "My sister." She said proudly. "Thank you for all your service." Eliza said looking at the man who about 3 inches taller than her. "If it take fighting a war for us to meet it well hade been worth it." He said. "I'll Leave you to it." Angelica said as she walked over to the bar. They talked the rest of the night and even slow danced together. Once Alexander's friend came to get him, Eliza took up courage, stood on her tip toes and kissed him on the lips. Alexander kissed her back and put his arms around her waist so that she could take pressure off her toes. His friends whistled and cheered him on. It seemed like years until they finally disconnected. "Bye Eliza." He said and gave her one last kiss before leaving. Peggy came running over and literally threw herself onto Eliza. "YOU KISSED SOMEONE!" She screamed. Eliza didn't hug back at first because she was still shocked at what she just did. She gave her sister a tight squeeze.

Eliza sat star struck at her desk as she re-read the letter that Alexander sent her for the 10th time. In her drawer was all the other letter she got. Despite him having her text, he was old fashion and would write her a letter every other day. Angelica walked into the room and looked at her sister. "Earth to Eliza." She said and smiled. Eliza looked over at her and sighed happily as she pushed her self with her spinny chair until she was stopped by her bed. "Ya know that if you really love me you would share him." Angelica said. Eliza looked at her as if she had grown a mustache. "Ha." She replied as she fell back onto the bed.

Eliza was in the living room watching tv when she heard a knock at the door. She jumped up and walked over to the door. Her father had a worried look on his face as he went into the parlor. Eliza shrugged and continued to the door she opened it to see Alex with an equally worried face. "Alex!" Eliza said as she grew her arms around him and kissed him. He kissed back but would occasionally glance at the parlor. Phillip Schuyler looked up at him and Eliza. "Eliza, could you leave the room please." Her father asked. Again she shrugged and walked out into the living room.

It's been about an hour since Eliza was asked to leave the room. She paced slightly and would look at the parlor waiting for Alexander to come out. Angelica saw her sisters stress and put an arm on her shoulder. "Watchya waiting for?" She asked and looked at the parlor.  "Alexander and dad. They shooed me out of the room to talk. That was about an hour ago." Eliza said sighing. Angelica pulled her sister over to the couch and turned on the tv. She knew this is what losened up her sister. For Peggy it was food and for Eliza it was electronics. This was the awe of being the older sister. Peggy walked into the room with a bag of pretzels and a can of coke. "what are we waiting for? Turn on 'The Walking Dead.'" She said as she plopped down next to Eliza. "What's wrong Eli? You look pale." She asked as she poked her sisters cheek. "Alex is in the parlor with dad and shooed me out." Eliza replied and took a handful of pretzels and shoved it in her face.

Just then Alexander walked out with a smile with Phillip Schuyler. Alexander looked at Eliza and got down on one knee. Eliza looked at him. " Elizabeth Schuyler. Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?" He said. Eliza stood there." YES! YES!" She cried and flung herself at him. "I call brides mate!" Peggy said and flung herself at her future brother-in law. "Me too!" Said Angelica ad followed her sister's action. Phillip Schuyler smiled and hugged his middle child. His Eliza, was getting married and he approved of the man. Alexander picked up Eliza and spun her around. He brought her down and gave her a passionate kiss. "I do!" Eliza said and hugged him. "I'm helpless." She said to him. And kissed him again.
