**AFTER DINNER, BEFORE WEDDING STUFF**
It had been difficult, waiting for Jake's reaction. Alex found herself nervously toeing the doorjamb as she knocked, anxious to find out from Lizzie what the verdict was.

*Lizzie finally answered the door, looking rather flustered, but in a good mood.*
"Alex!" *She squeaked in delight, quick to add.* "-andra. It's so good of you to stop by." *Her pleasure at the girl's presence was obvious, but she also obviously had something on her mind that wasn't her business with the red-head.*
"Come in. Come in." *She ushered her quickly inside.*

Alex wondered if the fluster was for her, but it didn't seem likely--perhaps Jake had done something, said something. But then, Lizzie didn't seem out of spirits, either. She followed her inside and carefully refrained from anything more physical than pressing Lizzie's hand.
"What happened?"

*The touch made Lizzie stop and yield a slight blush.*
"What'cha mean?" *She grinned.* "I mean, we're just in a bustle 'ta get things ready and all."
*Her eyes sparkled happily, for she had missed Alex, even if she hadn't had the time to realize it.*

"Ready..." Alex echoed. "Ready for what? What did he say?"

"The wedding, 'fcourse." *Lizzie answered easily, then paused. Realization hit her with a gasp.*
"Oh! 'Ya mean...oh. Um, 'bout that, the movin' bit I mean..." *Lizzie's cheeks flushed a bit as her eyes dropped.*
"I think...I think after all this. I mean, he seems 'ta understand. Well, maybe not understand but know he ain't got much of a choice when it comes 'ta..."
*Her eyes lifted anxiously to Alex's, and she was struck mute, but managed a bright smile and a tight nod.*

Obviously there were other things weighing on the girl's mind, but Alex couldn't gauge which were which. "Lizzie... are you certain about this? Is this what you want? You're under no obligation; I don't mean to take you away from your family if you don't want to go."

*Lizzie's brow arched indignatntly.*
"Now 'ya think I don't wanna?" *She asked, mostly in jest. But there was the slightest warning of hurt in her eyes.*
"Sides...won't be too much room about here for awhile. Bad enough with me and the boys but now with Lark..." *Her gaze wandered briefly and her brow furrowed.* "Ain't sure I wanna listen to those two, if 'ya know what I mean. He's my brother an' all."

Alex laughed outright. Lizzie could be rather droll, when she pleased. "I'm not sure I want to, and he isn't," she said. "Then it's settled. I'll look for someplace suitable--with your approval, of course--and after all this is over..."
Her smiled turned a bit saucy. "Well, then, it's every woman for herself."

"Yeah." *She whispered in proud realization. Lizzie's face lit up in unadulterated happiness. Things were going so well with Jake and Lark and now this... it was perfect. She blushed slightly. Or at least it would be shortly. Then she suddenly remembered herself.*
"Ya want somethin'?" *She asked politely.* "I mean, I brewed some tea, if ya like."
*She wanted to talk more, hell...just be around her. Felt like it'd been ages. Strange, since she hadn't really thought on it until now, being as busy as she was. But now it left her all sorts of thirsty.*

She was such a little lady. It made Alex smile. "I'd like that," she agreed. "Thank you." Everything about Lizzie was so uniformly endearing, it quite drove everything else from her head--while Lizzie was there, at least.

*Lizzie happily led her into the kitchen, pulling down some glasses and pouring some tea. She offered Alex a cup, licking her lips as she did so.*
"So...things been good? I'm sorry I ain't been around the past few days. Things just been so crazy."

"I guess so, with the wedding and all," Alex said. "It's fine, really. It's a big deal." She smiled. "Rehearsals are going well, for the most part," she added. "That's... pretty much it. What do they have you doing?"

"Everythin'." *Lizzie poked.* "Well, cookin' mostly, but in this house that ain't no small fare. And makin' sure the house looks respectable for Lark and the preacher man..." *She smiled with a contented sigh.*
"I'll be happy when it's over, but it's sure a bit of fun in the meanwhile."

"That sounds like a lot," Alex said dubiously. "I'm sure I wouldn't be able to manage half of it. He's lucky to have you."
