My future self wanted nothing more but to go after him and give him a true piece of my mind. Instead I felt that would make me no better than him. Looking over to Jane I raise my head high. Jane tried to smile but even she could tell that I wasn't in a good place at that moment. George and Angelica were barely out of the room when I heard Angelica talking.

"To think you would have married a commoner like her." Angelica states with a giggle.

My body acts without my minds permission. Leaving Jane, Fanny and Plumtree behind I make my way right up to them pulling Angelica to side and having her look me right in the eyes. My mind was still trying to catch up with my body as it sent a right hook right to the side of her face and sent her falling backwards. Maybe I shouldn't have done that but oh did it feel good.

"Clara? What in god's name are you doing?" George asks as he goes to Angelica's side.

"Where I come from that is called defending my honor. Perhaps you should be more careful who you speak of when you are not even out of the door." I say as I cross my arms not caring what anyone thought at that moment.

George helps Angelica stand up and she looks at me with fear and hate in her eyes. Knowing her past I knew that she wouldn't be faithful to George and that in itself would hopefully teach him a lesson. She decided to play the damsel in distress and began to weep.

"To think I would have married you." George states looking into my eyes. "You are just the women my father warned me about yet I was willing to look past your birth and heritage but now I believe I see who you really are. You are no one to me."

I couldn't help it a quite from Pride and Prejudice came to my mind and though it might not make sense in this situation I decided to use it.

"And those are the words of a gentleman? From the moment I met you your arrogance and conceit and your selfish disdain for the feelings of other made me realize that you are the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry. "* I declared using Elizabeth Bennett's words as my own.

George looked at my dumbstruck probably because I was using true English pretty much to tell him that I never wanted to marry him. I admit I did like him a lot perhaps even loved him as well. Marriage was something I would have looked forward to with him...if who I had been with the whole time was the true side of him. Knowing now it was not I have the nerve to smile at him and turn back the church and almost back inside when I see the door open and there stands Mr. Plumtree looking around frantic.

"Oh thank goodness, Clara where in the world did you go?" Plumtree asks me just as Jane and Fanny join us and look at the scene behind me.

"What in the world happened?" Jane asks looking from me to George and Angelica behind me.

"Nothing at all, I think not marrying him may have been the best thing to ever happen to me." I reply with a smile as I walk inside the church.

All of the guest had already been informed and in the torn wedding gown I approach the alter. Looking around the church and how beautiful it was decorated it was hard to imagine that no new Husband and Wife left her today.

"After all your hard work, it seems it was all for not." I hear a male voice say as I turn around and see Plumtree smiling at me again.

"You seem to be following me as of late Mr. Plumtree. Dare I say you do not trust me to be alone after now my almost wedding?" I question him while using a bit of sarcasm.

"That could be one reason but I know you would not do something too drastic however punching that woman... that did show me a different side of you." he says as he walks up to stand opposite of me.

Right, I am sure George informed them of everything that happened. Still I did not regret it, after all I could not have made her look any worse. That woman oh her and Westley together still is a horrible memory I try to erase from my head. Yet in all that time I do remember Plumtree, yes sometimes he was a pain but he was there. In his own way I suppose he thought he was doing what he could to help me or annoy me but it still helped me take my mind off things.

"A side that I never want to be on the receiving side of." he tells me this time with a chuckle.

"Your first name is James isn't it?" I ask him as he looks me right in the eyes a bit shocked by my question.

"Yes, now you know my first name yet I fear I do not know your family name." he says now trying to get information out of me.

I had no family in America right now so if he did research I would be found out. Still I began to think of a popular name or one that I could just make up off the top of my head. Eventually my head won and I thought of a fake name to give to him. Hopefully he would believe it.

"Worthington, Clara Worthington my lord." I say as I curtsey to him.

James smiles at me and bows. For a moment or perhaps a bit more I feel at ease with him. Not knowing what was going through my mind my body decided to take control as I took one step closer to him and our eyes locked. My heart beat faster and my mind was trying to make sense of anything and everything.

"Finally I can say this. I wish to know more about you. Clara Worthington." James says taking my hand and kissing the top of it.

"And I you, James Plumtree." I reply as I smile back at him.

Alone at the church we begin to talk of anything we could think of. Our childhoods only mine had to be slightly modified after all there is a big time difference. For once even though I was with a man I felt at ease and was able to relax and not worry as much as I usually did.
