you and jeremiah were getting married. a discussion that seemed to be a distant memory, where you and jeremiah decided to tell conrad first. to prepare him. but that didn’t exactly go as planned, everything went to hell.
first off, you were sitting at the dinner table after susannah’s memorial, the fisher family and conklin family all there. it was full of laughter and memories of susannah. as you sat next to jeremiah, hearing adam fisher talk about conrad most of the time ticked you off.
jeremiah seemed to be getting upset about the fact his dad favored conrad once again. your hand squeezes jeremiah’s tightly in discomfort wanting to defend him somehow. as tensions already somewhat filled the air, you decided it was time to tell the family about your engagement.
“me and jeremiah are getting married!” was all conrad heard come out of your mouth. he didn’t hear much after that, swigging down his champagne with a shocked expression and a look of longing. the families tensions have heightened from your words. conrad looks more depressed than ever before.
this led out into a big brawl, the families broke out into a fit of arguments, saying how the two of you weren’t ready to get married. you disagreed and showed them the ring on your finger, everyone in disbelief and anger. laurel immediately asking for the check, no one eating their appetizers on the table before the meals came out. you had gotten up with jeremiah in hand, leaving the restaurant after the blowout and arguments.
after the family has departed, conrad was left alone standing outside the restaurant, a quiet expression… he looked heartbroken. the girl he has always been in love with, was getting married to his younger brother. in that moment, his heart clenched. he no longer had a chance. he was no longer hers.
