Henry awoke the next morning with a strange sense of restlessness. He had thought he would feel something more akin to dread that he had felt when he had first left Ellie in the hospital after attaining her agreement.
Today was the last day he would be a sought after bachelor.
Strangely, he wouldn't miss it. He knew once it was general knowledge people who flock to find out who Ellie Chen was. He had done some research into her background and had found she had actually been a decent racer. If she had been well and whole, he would have considered her potentially. She was not without merits.
He dressed himself with care in a sober maroon three piece suit and slicked back hair. When he unfolded it he had found the white carnation had been removed by whoever had done the laundry and placed on top. He looked at himself in the mirror as he pinned it back to the lapel. It was fate maybe that his old man was stuck with him on this momentous day.
