Bellamy Blake doesn’t consider himself an important man, but he’s always had a destiny: to marry the glamorous beauty Echo de Winter, and take over his father’s business. And that’s fine. It’s not his passion, but it’s…fine.
Until down-to-earth artist Clarke moves in across the hall from him, and turns his entire life upside down.

Clarke, blessed Clarke, finally gets her door unlocked and asks, “wanna come in for a nightcap?”
A sober Bellamy would know this is not a good idea.
Unfortunately, he’s not sober.
“Yeah, let me just put my things down.”
So he throws his coat, scarf, and gloves down on the couch, just like the first night he met her, and crosses the hall to let the door click gently shut behind him.
“Whiskey on the counter, beer in the fridge,” she calls from the bedroom.

Clarke extends a hand, but Echo pointedly ignores it.. “You must be Echo. I’m Clarke–”
“Griffin,” Echo finishes, “I know.”
“Oh, have we met?” Clarke looks slightly puzzled, blue eyes wide open, mouth pursed.
Echo forces a smile to her lips–Bellamy knows that look.
Clarke reminds him of a politician, but Echo reminds him of a politician’s wife.

Echo is standing in the hallway, bristling, demanding: “Where have you been? I thought you and Octavia would be bonding for sure.”
“She went shopping,” he says, annoyed with Echo’s intrusion.
Echo’s mouth falls open. “You let a fifteen year old girl go shopping by herself in the city?”
He rubs his forehead, gives a little sigh, admits the truth. “She went with Clarke, and her friend, Raven. To shop for a dress, for Saturday.”
“But–I texted her. I told her I was coming over. So we could look at some ideas I had for bridesmaids’ dresses.”
You looked at me intently and asked ‘Why do you smoke?’ I looked at you intently and replied ‘Why do you cheat?’

Summer Love and Other Buried Treasures
Summer love... long nights on the beach... holding hands while gazing at stars... kissing while the waves lap at our feet... clinging to one another in the shadow of the diving board... I am so not making any of that up. That's all true. Not only is it true, but, the guy? Yeah, we stayed together after school resumed. Of course, he had graduated; I was the only one going back to school. And he had no worries about me meeting competition in the hallways (remember the nuns?). So staying together... that seemed kind of easy. He didn't go to college, instead taking a full time day job. I headed into senior year, doing homework right after school, so we still had nights and weekends. there was nothing in the autumn air to pull us apart. Except... I have to confess, looking back over the years... the romance was doomed. From the very beginning, I wasn't being entirely faithful to him. My heart had already begun turning toward someone else, someone tough and determined, brave and smart. Resourceful. Charismatic. Someone... someone.... terrified of snakes... **SIGH***
Indiana Jones.... **SIGH** Okay. Wait. Before you judge, you need to understand that back in the days of Indy's introduction I was working at movie theater (a single screen movie theater) and we ran that movie for SIX MONTHS. From June to December. Seriously. That's a relationship. I spent three nights a week with Indy, and all day Saturday. And he never, ever let me down. He was never late, always made me smile, and never made me cry. Okay, so he wasn't real. So he was a made up guy with an irrational fear of snakes. So what my real boyfriend was 6'2", blonde hair, blue eyes, with a killer smile (also true). No matter how wonderful the real guy was... the guy I still love to this day is Indiana Jones. Man, Indy would just stand and glower, and the minute he settled that Stetson on his head.... *swoon* you just know he's going to help good triumph over evil. So why do I still love Indy, when the blue-eyed-guy is relegated to dim memory status? Well, truth be told, it's for the same reasons the relationship with my boyfriend lasted past the summer. It wasn't the good looks - though that was there. It wasn't the conversational skills - I remember Indy's dialogue better than boyfriend's. It was the fact that both of those guys stood for something. They both had a strong moral center, a concept of right over wrong and the determination to make sure right prevailed. And that moral center? That belief in something bigger than the self, that's one of the key character attributes that shows they'll stick around when school threatens to get in the way. They'll understand when homework or studying has to take priority, and they won't resent your involvement in school sports (though they might get cranky over Glee Club, you never know). Now as the summer draws to a close, those of you reading this may have a guy or a gal and may be wondering, will this last? Hey, I could be wrong. But my theory is if your current heartthrob is the sort to stand up for the little guy and has a solid sense of justice, you've got a good chance the relationship will last well beyond the first bell. A healthy fear of snakes is also a bonus. But hey, clearly if I fell in love with Indy way back at the beginning, I'm a seriously old broad. So you tell me: what characteristic do you think a person would possess that hints at a relationship lasting?
