Merry Christmas.

My present?

Unwelcome choices.

Robert? I'm confused. Is everything alright?

*sighs and runs a hand through his hair* Nothing for you to worry about Giselle.

How's Edward?

But you look troubled, I can't help but feel worried.

He's fine. We're going to stay in New York a bit longer... *a sad smile crosses her features as she glances down at the ground*

*looks away so she doesn't see the pain in his eyes*

So...you'll be returning with him, then. *deep breath and false smile* Good. Good. It's where you...where you belong.

*Her eyes flick to him before flicking away again* Yes I...well, that is to say...Edward, he- he's traveled such a long way to find me...

*unable to keep the sarcasm from his voice* And you've known him for so long. Surely you must know everything about him. Does he know you like pizza? Does he know you look your best in blue, because it brings out your eyes? *sighs softly* Doe she know that when you sleep, you snore...just slightly not enough to wake up a mouse...and it's all I can think of now that...now that you're gone?

Robert I... don't I?

*heart lurches, but he looks away* Right. Edward. Of course. If he's what you want, have a happy life, Giselle.

Oh, Robert. Everything is so... so.... confusing! I fear that if I return to Andalasia that I may very quickly begin to miss New York, and begin to miss you, and Morgan...and... its all so very complicated... *She says with a breath out as she takes a seat on the couch.*

Then... *sits at the far end of the couch* Giselle...don't...if he's not... *hangs head* Giselle, do what makes you happy.

Yes but...what if what makes me happy hurts someone else?

Giselle...either way you choose...someone's going to hurt. You need to do what makes you happy and...and don't worry so much about everyone else.

Oh my...that doesn't sound very nice at all...

It seems though, If I choose the way my heart is telling me to..I'll hurt two people. Not just one.

You'd rather sacrifice your happiness than go with what your heart is telling you?

Of course not... I've just never had to make a decision quite this difficult before...

*sighs and rubs his neck* If...if Edward is what makes you happy, Giselle, go with him. Morgan and I will be alright, don't worry about us.

*Giselle paused a moment. He thought that she meant... oh dear.* No, Robert. I...I was referring to Edward and Nancy. *She said glancing up at him, her blue eyes searching his*

*looks at her, surprise clear in his eyes* You...If you want to stay...you're more than welcome... *looks away* I'd never be as happy with Nancy as I am with you.

Someone has to make them.
