Elizabeth Thatcher he thought it would to arrive early and awaiting in meeting Elizabeth at Abigail's Cafe for dinner. He knock on the door, hoping to gleam at the sight of Elizabeth's Beauty, but surprising it was Abilgial who answered the door instead and greeted him,

"Why, Hello there, Jack, How may I help you this evening?"

Jack answered, "I am meeting, Elizabeth, here for dinner, I know I am early, I just can't wait to see her."

Abigail understood as let Jack in the cafe, "You may come in, Jack and wait, it is just, Well know, Elizabeth, she always wants to look her absolute best, and especially for you.

Jack admired by that thought and thanked Abigail, "Thank you, Abigail, I didn't want to wait in the Jail anymore."

Jack finds an open table for 2 in the corner and sits down to wait, smiling as he thinks of Elizabeth . Abigail decides to leave Jack to his thoughts as she informs Jack,

"I am going to check on Elizabeth, See what is keeping her, and then I will start on your apperizters,"

Jack replied, "Thank you, Abigail, not only you are an amazing hostess but good friend, I am sure once Noah is clear of any wrong doing this place will be filled again."

Abigail smirked and walked upstairs, to Elizabeth's room, she noticed that Elizabeth was dressed in a beautiful maroon gown. Elizabeth turned and asked,

"Well, How do I look, does it look to forward for me to wear?'"

Abigail was shocked in how insecure Elizabeth was feeling as She thought Elizabeth looked stunning, So she admits to Elizabeth,

"Elizabeth, you are stunning, tonight, Why are you so insecure for?"

"I am not insecure, just nervous, tonight will be third date with Jack and this I want.."

"You want to be prefect," Abigail finishing Elizabeth's sentence as she inform her, "Sad to inform you Elizabeth nothing is prefect."

Elizabeth sighed but there was one aspect about tonight that Elizabeth wanted to be prefect and she was not sure how it could be so she asked for Abigail's advice,

"Abigail, can I ask you some personal questions?"

"Depends, but no harm in asking?"

Elizabeth took a deep breath there was no turning back as she asked,

"When you and Noah were courting, which one of said, I love you, first."

Abigail smiled as she still remembers as clear as day her courting days with Noah, even though he made the first move in asking her out, she always love Noah ever since the first day he enter the school house, and she remembered after the third date she could not contain her feelings as she was the one who said "I love you" first.

So Abigail told Elizabeth, "I did,"

Elizabeth sighed, "How?"

Abigail confused, "How What?'

"How did you tell him?, You loved him?"

Abigail finally understood the meaning of this questioning, she didn't to frighten her by admitting she knew that Elizabeth was in love with Jack, and Abigail was happy for her after all, Elizabeth's has done for her and the children of Coal Valley, Elizabeth deserved to be happy and in love, So Abigail sat Elizabeth down on her bed and told her the best way to say "I love you."
