Remind me once more where this is going

 "How can she do this to me!" Jade felt as if she was yelling to no one, but Ari was off in the bathroom doing something while she was on the phone with Delia/Dale. But she didn't yell until after she got off the phone.

"What's wrong?" He finally asked after he told her that she should use her quiet voice. What would the neighbors think?

Jade gritted hard in a pout and threw her phone hard on the bed which meant it bounced off into the floor.

Ari just sighed and looked at the phone on the carpet. He went to pick it up. It wasn't damaged.

"What is it this time?"

Jade hugged herself as her frown swelled bigger.

"Delia is leaving for Florida."

"Oh." Ari nodded as if it was no concern of his. Jade only sighed. Ari gave her a hug. 

"I thought we were-"

"What?" He looked into her eyes then as if he didn't have a clue.

"Never mind." She grumbled as if he was just not in his right mind. Was he even thinking of a wedding?

She walked away. "You don't understand," Jade mentioned all of Delia's time in the hospital. "Now she'll be a week in Florida with her boyfriend."

"Well, it's winter. A lot of people go to Florida," Ari shrugged about the matter.

"But not  us." The bed was between them.

"Well, you know..I..I just started that job..and..and I can't ask for time off, just yet." He was even-lipped about it. "You know, Delia has worked there a lot longer than you have..and..and."

"I know," Jade sighed. It was the same old story, wasn't it? Always at the bottom of the barrel. She sighed. She couldn't help to have tears in her eyes. Here she had her hopes up, like some sort of fairytale. She was sure of it now. She bet they went nowhere. They might never get married.
