Who is she?

Harry and George's eyes were focused on the entrance as Garry went to open the door. The opening of the door grew and slowly revealed who was standing on the other side of it. It was non other than Elizabeth who appeared in the doorway. She wasted no time on small talk as she waltzed into the living room bypassing old man Garry and simply called out to all that were present "Where is Jason. I need to talk to him". "Elizabeth.." "Lizzy what brings you here in such a fit". Both friends had never seen Elizabeth in this state. They were used to her at least pretending to be a lady. Posing to be grace and peacefulness itself. But right now she showed her frustration clearly and seemed like she wouldn't give up until she got answers. "I don't have time for chit chat right now. Tell me where he is. I deserve some answers". "I will take you to him, but Lizzy I think you should calm down before you go talk to him. Your emotions seem all over the place." George could see Elizabeth's eyes getting red. "I simply need you to point me in the right direction. This is a matter between me and him. I want to talk to him in private. I need to know what the relationship between him and that new girl is. I have invested too much time into this to be brushed off with a "you will know when she want to tell me"." George sighed. He felt like this was an unavoidable conversation that Jason would have to have sooner or later, so he gave up and simply pointed in the direction of the kitchen. It seemed like Jason's confrontational moment would come sooner than planned. George only hoped that Jenny was out of sight, because otherwise things could get ugly. Harry took this time to send Jason a message to inform him of the situation. This way he could at least prepare himself and Jenny if she was in the same room.

Jason was busy with the task he was handed and did not notice the commotion in the living room. When he heard his phone go off he went to take a look who could have messaged him, because most people who had his number were present here at the moment. He saw it was a message from Harry, saying nothing more than "Elizabeth is here". Jason heard the clicking of heels the moment he placed his phone back down and took a deep breath to prepare himself for what was to come. He was glad that Jenny wasn't here right now. That would have added fuel to the fire on both sides. He didn't have the chance yet to talk to Jenny about Elizabeth and explain the connection he had with her, so if she were to see that Elizabeth had come to Westwood mansion she might misunderstand. The kitchen door opened and in came Elizabeth. She was standing right in front of him, trying to remain calm and eyes reddened. "Elizabeth, what brings you by here?". "I think you know why I came Jason. I need to know. Who is she? What is the relationship between that new girl and you? I cannot accept that vague answer you gave me during class." Jason looked at the kitchen counter for a second and let out a small sigh before starting what he should have done a long time ago. "Elizabeth..at first I wasn't planning on telling you, because I figured there was a reason that Jenny herself didn't want to tell you. However Harry and George brought it to my attention that a certain misunderstanding that has been living between us was brought up in class and could possibly harm my relationship with Jenny and our friendship as well. So based on that friendship of many years I will tell you. Jenny is my fiance..." Elizabeth's eyes grew wider from disbelieve with each word that came out of Jason's mouth. "She just moved here from the Netherlands and that is why no one has heard of her before. She wanted to keep it a secret because she wanted to make some friends before adding the pressure of being my future wife." Her mind was spinning. How could this be. His fiance?! His future wife?! Hadn't that position always belonged to her? Elizabeth stepped closer to Jason and clasped her hands onto Jason's arm. "No this can't be Jason. What about me then?" Elizabeth looked at Jason with eyes filled with confusion and denial. Yes, this must be a mistake. This must be a ploy to test her feelings. She had chased everyone that came near Jason away till now, so that she would be the only one in his sight. How could she allow this little Dutch girl to suddenly come into the picture!
