"This is the fiftieth time he's been kicked out of school, Dave! And you know what? 5-0! Who else is going to take our precious Keane in?" Gladys asked in disbelief.

Dave shook his head.

" Our old friend will. Eloise. Surely you remember her? The girl I had to jilt so that you could marry me." Dave smirked as Gladys flushed pink, all the unpleasant memories rushing back.

"Eloise runs a school? And what's it's name?" Gladys challenged.

"St. Louis."  Dave finished. "Keane shall enroll there and start next week."

Gladys paced about, her diamond necklace sparkling in the pale sunlight. All her silver and gold wasn't doing any good.

"Fine." was the only thing she could come up with.

She would not lose to Eloise. Gladys had Dave, Eloise's former fiancé, and all Eloise wanted.

Gladys knew fully how Dave was still seeing Eloise, even though he could be severely punished and removed from his Senator position.

His love for the girl he jilted was more than his for her.

And that was what always made her snap.

No matter how many times she tried pleasing him, how many nights she spent in bed with him and how she tried so hard to outdo Eloise...

It would never match up to the nights he spent sleeping in Eloise's bed.
