"I'm so glad I got everyone to come to your house for new years." I smile excitedly as Juan and I settle into our seats on the jet. Its a few days before New Years Eve and I was able to get everyone from LA to come to Juan's house in Colombia to ring in the new year. Juan and I have been married for about Seven months now, and I cant express how amazing its been so far. I've been working a lot, and so has he, but we always meet at home and have the most amazing time together. I am incredibly happy with the life we've built for ourselves thus far.

He furrows up his eyebrows. "My house?"

"Your house." I nod slowly.

He shakes his head, taking my hand. "Our house, Bonita."

"Stop." I smile, shaking my head. "Its your house. You bought and worked hard for that house way before me."

"What's mine is yours, you know that." he smiles, bringing my hand up to his lips, kissing it gently. "What? Are you telling me it doesn't go both ways?" he asks, smirking.

I laugh, rolling my eyes. "Of course it does. You're my husband." I shrug.

"Exactly." he smiles. "You got everyone to come to our house."

I nod, laughing. "Okay, our house." I smile, kissing him gently.

"You look amazing, Anna." Liz smiles as we get ready in the master bathroom at Juan's--our house a few days later.

I smile, taking a few selfies. "Yeah? Thanks. You do too."

"I think it's great you got your Dad out here to celebrate with us too

"I think it's great you got your Dad out here to celebrate with us too." she nods, smiling.

I nod, setting down my phone. "Yeah, I wanted everyone that's important in my life to ring in the new year. He's played a major role in my year." I shrug.

"That's sweet."

I nod. "What about you though? The years ending in a few hours. A whole year of you never getting any real hope of a potential relationship with Oscar."

She sighs, looking away. "Don't remind me."

"Liz, when are you going to talk to him about this?" I ask, shaking my head.

"I don't know. I'm scared." she shrugs.

I shake my head. "Of what?"

"Are you serious?" she scoffs. "I love him, Adrianna. I don't want to lose him. If I bring this up, I might lose him."

My eyes widen. "Love?"

"Love." she nods.

"Wow."

She sighs, nodding. "Yeah. I just...don't want to ruin things right now."

"You've been saying that for over a year."
