PROLOGUE:

"Oh Theresa, you look beautiful!" Whitney gushes to her friend.

"Thank you whit! I can't believe this day is finally here! I'm gonna be Mrs. Ethan Crane today!"

"Theresa, your dreams have all come true! I'm so happy for you!" Pilar enters her dressing room at the church. "Oh mija, you look wonderful!"

"Thank you mamma! Can you help me with my veil?"

"Of course mija." the women all continue to chat as there is a knock at the door.

"Come in!" the women say in unison.

"Hi Theresa," Chad said nervously.

"Chad, hey! How is Ethan? I bet he looks so handsome in his tux!"

"Um, look Theresa….about Ethan…"

"Chad, what's the matter? What's going on?"

"Theresa….I…."

"Is it Ethan? Is he ok?"

"I…I found this, in his dressing room." He hands her an envelope.

"Wha-what's this?" she asks, almost afraid to take it from him.

"I think you should read it."

She opens the letter slowly, and begins to read.

Dear Theresa,

I don't know how to say this, but I can't marry you tomorrow. I'm leaving harmony tonight. I don't know when I'll be back. All I know is that I can't do this.

I'm sorry,
Ethan

Her hands were shaking as she read the last lines of the letter, tears streaming down her face.

"This can't be happening!"

"Mija, what is it?" Pilar and Whitney quickly scan the letter.

"Oh my god," Whitney whispers.

"Why mamma!? Why would he do this to me!?" Theresa was yelling and shaking at the same time.

"I don't know mija, I don't know," she said as she wrapped her arms around her quivering daughter.
