OMG How wonderful is this...

[h3rtzoom]

he swallowed thickly as she pulled away, already regretting everything he had done in the past two minutes. "no, i mean yes, i mean, yes i want to marry you. i want to be with you but should we be getting married?" he took a deep breath and loosened his tie just a bit so he could feel like he could breathe. "i mean did you look out there and see how everyone is here for you, sutton and i'm..i'm just some guy with no family, no history, n-nothing." he thought he had long shed his insecurity about being an orphan who simply aged out of the system and had essentially been alone in the world until he met sutton. "i...i'm fucking freaking out that i won't be enough. what if you wake up one day and want a divorce and then i'm..i'm all alone again," he felt pathetic as he admitted it, especially when all of those people were waiting for them out there.

sutton didn't know what to do but she felt as though she couldn't breathe. this wasn't the way she thought that her wedding day was going to go and she wanted nothing more than to cry, scream, maybe even run away. she allowed the man to pull her away from the altar and once the two of them were alone, she pulled her hand away from him and wrapped her arms around her body. "you don't want to marry me?" she asked, her voice cracking as she did so.

From your story Romance is not dead, is there a reason with the fact that all their kids' names (or nicknames) start with a "s"? I do have a theory that Skyler is Skyler because Derek wanted her to be a part of the Smerek/Smarti thing. You know, it's the circle of the best. (this is actually from my LWL fic that I'm working on, oopsie, big secret's out). When I saw the names of their children in your story, I couldn't help to wonder if you were thinking something similar. I love their names by the way.

Yes, all of the kids are named/nicknamed with an "S" because Derek worries his children having Casey's genes will make them lame and if they have S names, they can be in the Smarti/Smerek awesomeness!

Skyler's name definitely works for that theory as well! It also fits the "~2014 cool girl daughter of model and rockstar" vibe I think that she's got going on. Derek refuses to have lame children.

Here's their kid's names and stories, just for fun, in the everyone knows nothing universe!

Kate "Scout" James Venturi- born in August of 2017, Scout's name was chosen because Casey really likes literature and Derek thinks Scout sounds cool. But last minute, Casey worries about the implications of naming her child after one of the most loathed protagonists in literature and what that's setting her up for in life, so she changes her first name to Kate, keeping Scout as a nickname. Derek just thinks she's insane, as do the children once they're old enough to learn the reasoning.

Sutton "Spud" Andromeda Venturi- born February 2019, Spud's name was chosen because Derek and Casey got stranded on a vacation in a resort named Sutton, and both like the name. She gets the nickname Spud because, well, she's a little potato spud at first and it just sticks.

Spencer "Spen/Spin" Darcy Venturi- born November 2020, Spin's name was a compromise. Casey always wanted to name a kid after Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, but Derek is vehemently against this idea, so it's a middle name because he can justify that. Spencer is because Derek watches a ton of soap operas after he retires and he likes the Spencer family on General Hospital. And, of course, Spen and Spin are used interchangeably as nicknames because Spud and Scout aren't thrilled that there's going to be a boy in the house, so he needs a fun nickname. And as a reference to Spinner Mason on Degrassi, because I think it's funny.

Willow "Sawyer" Francesca Venturi- born May 2024, no one's really sure how Sawyer's name came to be. She's one of the twins (or babies, as they're referred to in romance is not dead), so maybe it was some weird mixup or Derek had too much free time, but she was Sawyer. Casey, however, didn't want to be seen as naming a child after Peyton Sawyer or her One Tree Hill character, so her first name was Willow, because it's a pretty tree and close enough to Sawyer they can blame the nickname on the kids. Francesca is after the second car Derek ever had, who tragically passed before they had the twins.

Shawn "Shay" Mackenzie Venturi- born May 2024, Shay's name is the result of a Boy Meets World rewatch. Derek pitched it as a name for one of the twins and it got approved, but the Mackenzie comes from Casey, who once read a book with the name and thought it was beautiful. The girl was questionable (being an axe murderer and all), but the name was nice enough to be given to her daughter.

Lonely Harte (Damon x OC) CH.2

SUTTON'S POV

I wasn’t even sure what time it was but I knew I would be pissed at myself tomorrow morning when I had to get up for class. Mira and Carleigh were well on their way to drunk when I had arrived and now they were fully sloshed. I myself was heavily buzzed on my second Long Island. It’s funny how fast you can get drunk on an empty stomach.

The three of us were playing pool with a few guys from school. I didn’t really know them but Carleigh did and told me they were on the basketball team. They were sorta cute but I didn't really have any interest in any of them. The only reason I hadn’t left was because I was feeling the liquor I had consumed and definitely couldn’t drive anywhere yet.

Mira and Carleigh were practically making out with the two guys they had been hitting it off with. The third guy who had been talking to me, Shawn was now standing awkwardly next to me with his beer. I may have been plenty tipsy but I had no interest in making out or going home with him. At first he had seemed nice but as the night went on he started to get a little handsy and I just got a weird vibe. I broke away from our little group excusing myself to the bathroom.

I let out a deep breath as soon as I was in the bathroom. I took in my appearance, yeah I was definitely a little drunk and a little disheveled at this point. I smoothed down my hair a bit and readjusted the black tank top I was wearing and attempted to fix my make up a bit. Much Better.

I savored my last moments of quiet before heading back out to whatever I was about to encounter with my roommates and the basketball boys. Upon coming out of the bathroom I slammed into a hard warm body. “Shit—I’m sorry.” I said looking up into the ice blue eyes of Damon Salvatore . I felt all the heat rise to my face and he just smirked as I took a step back.

“We meet again.” He said.

“That we do.” I laughed. If I was sober I would have been way more embarrassed but my liquid courage was still in effect at the moment so I was only a little embarrassed. I caught myself staring at him, he was probably one of the hottest guys I had ever seen. No scratch that he definitely was the hottest guy I’d ever seen. Damon’s expression seemed amused by me not so subtly checking him out.

“Sorry.” I mumbled “I may be a little buzzed.” I said half-heartedly.

I saw something flash in his eyes and for a moment I felt a twinge of fear deep inside me.

“Can I get you another drink?” He asked

“A water first.” I insisted and motioned for me to lead the way to the bar.

He got himself a glass of whiskey and I got myself a much needed water. I needed to sober up. Lord knows how I would embarrass in front of Damon if I kept drinking.

“Your friend left?” I asked him.

“Yeah he has school in the morning, can’t hang I guess.” He said giving a little smirk.

“Yeah, I should probably be home myself. How about you? No school?”

“Yeah I finished school quite a while ago.” He said taking a sip. I wondered if he was older than he looked. The man was just intriguing on all levels.

“So what do you do?” I was even more curious now, I wondered what kind of job he would hold. He could definitely be a model but if he was he wouldn’t be here in this town.

“A little bit of this and that.” He said noncommittally. I was about to give him a witty response when Shawn the basketball player appeared In front of us. Oh Great…

DAMONS POV

Sutton was a curious little thing and the way she had stared at me when I ran into her definitely caught my attention. I had of course heard she was heading here after she had left work. Was that why I had come here? I told myself no. That would be ridiculous.

When I noticed she was a little drunk my instincts almost took over, being so close to her, smelling her. She smelled delicious. I almost pushed her into that bathroom and had a little drink myself but something stopped me and it annoyed me.

Other thoughts flooded my mind after that, other fun things we could do in that bathroom but even though I didn’t know her well she didn’t seem like the type to have casual sex with a stranger. I decided to buy her a drink and see where the night led it couldn’t hurt anyways.

We were now standing in front of the bar, Sutton asking me casual enough questions that I answered evasively. Suddenly a guy walked up to the two of us. Was this her boyfriend? She could definitely do better. She looked surprised to see the guy and not overly excited. So maybe not her boyfriend. Good. Good? Why did I even care?

“Hey.” The guy said looking over at Sutton. “Getting another drink?”

“Yeah, I needed a water.” She smiled but it didn’t meet her eyes.

“Who’s your friend?” The guy asked sizing me up. Yeah buddy try it and see what happens. I was itching to let off a little steam I'd been having to play "well behaved" far too much recently.

Sutton glanced at me and chewed on her bottom lip for a second before moving right next to me and looping her small arm around me.

“This is Damon, my boyfriend.” Boyfriend? I almost snorted at her blatant lie. I had half a mind to blow her cover but I was too amused at this situation. I scanned the room and noticed two girls and two guys staring in our direction, I connected the dots assuming they were her friends who had paired off and she was left with this guy whom she seemed not interested in in the slightest.

What the hell? why not play along? I swung one arm around her shoulders the other holding my drink. “Yep, I’m the boyfriend.” Disappointment was all over the guy's face. I smirked feeling more triumphant than I probably should. Yeah you won’t be getting any from her tonight buddy.

“Oh uhh well nice to meet you, I’m Shawn.” He said looking awkwardly between Sutton and I.

"Thanks for keeping my girl company until I showed up." I said hoping he'd get the hint to buzz off and thankfully he did.

“Well I’m just gonna grab another beer. See ya around.” He said moving to an open spot at the other end of the bar. Sutton politely waved bye to him then quickly stepped out of our embrace. Oddly enough I kind of missed the contact.

“Sorry.” She said looking up at me through her thick lashes. She was short little thing. “Thank you for playing along…you’re a lifesaver.” She smiled gratefully at me.

“No problem, but you owe me.” I said giving her a wink. She laughed light heartedly and I had to admit I liked the sound of it. She bought me a drink thanking me again and got another water for herself and a plate of fries eating them happily as we sat at the bar.

“So no boyfriend?” I asked. I was a little surprised she didn’t have one. She seemed fun and she certainly was pretty enough.

“No, not really looking for one to be honest.” She said taking a bite of a fry. “How about you? Sorry if you do have a girlfriend.”

“Nah, I’ve sworn off woman at the moment.” She arched an eyebrow at me.

“Long story.” I said.

“Fair enough.” She nodded. We sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes as she finished her fries. “Well I should probably get home.” She said looking at the time on her phone. “I’ve got class in the early.”

“Are you good to drive?” I wasn’t entirely sure she had sobered up enough for that also I wasn't sure why I cared.

“I’ll just walk, our apartment is only a couple blocks away. Plus I know my car will be safe here overnight.” She said too casually. This girl had no idea what lurked in the shadows of this town.

“I can drive you.” I offered and again I didn't know why.

“You’ve been drinking far more than me.” She pointed out laughing. She also had no clue how much liquor I had to consume to actually get drunk. I wasn’t anywhere close to drunk but I played along.

“Fair point. How about I walk you then?” She chewed on her bottom lip again something she seemed to do when she was thinking something over.

“Okay.” She finally said. “I’m just gonna say goodbye to my roommates and make sure they’re okay.”

I nodded and watched her walk over to the two inebriated girls. They seemed to have sobered up a little from earlier though and were sipping on water themselves. The three of them talked briefly and I saw the girl's eyes all glance at me for a moment. College girls. I smirked to myself.

About a minute later Sutton was back at my side. I finished the last of my drink and we headed out the door. The night was cool for late August but it felt nice.

We fell into silence as we walked side by side down the streets of mystic falls. I could see her occasionally glance over at me and I wondered what she was thinking. The further we got from the Grill the more the thought popped into my head to take a little drink from this girl. A little eat & erase wouldn’t be a big deal and no one would know. But for the second time tonight I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

“So are you from here?” She asked breaking the silence.

“Yep, born and raised but I have done some traveling over the years. How about you?”

“I’m from town about an hour away. It's actually smaller than this. That’s where my grandma lives. I haven’t traveled much, honestly I’ve never been out of Virginia. I like it here though, this town I mean. It’s nice.” She smiled looking around the dark streets.

“So other than your grandma any other family around?” I didn’t know why I was even asking her these questions. Was it to fill the silence or because I genuinely wanted to know?

“Nope, it’s just her and I actually.” I felt for the girl, she didn’t have much family and that was something I could relate to. “How about you?”

“It’s just my younger brother and I.” I said honestly.

She nodded understanding in her eyes. We were two people who had lost the majority of our families for whatever reasons.

“Well this is me.” She said as we arrived to one of the few old apartment buildings in town. “Thank for you walking me home and for playing along earlier.” She smiled.

“Thanks for the entertaining evening. Goodnight Sutton.”

“Goodnight Damon.” She said and paused before she turned and walked up her steps and unlocked the door. I slowly walked away but made sure she was securely inside before I disappeared back to my car.

Only Memories and Remnants of the Riverside Restaurant Remain

(Publisher's Note: With the demolition of the former Wheeling Inn pending, we at LEDE News are re-publishing this article concerning what remains inside the dilapidated structure, including the former Riverside Restaurant 7 lounge.) She recalls frozen drinks were a favorite during the days she was a bartender at the former Riverside Lounge and Restaurant in the 1990s. Pina coladas, strawberry daiquiris, and loaded margaritas were a few of the top sells while Lynne Walton was behind the bar at the establishment that was inside the Best Western Wheeling Inn. Walton began working at the Riverside in 1994, and at that time, country music’s most popular still were playing inside a nearby theatre called the Capitol Music Hall each and every Saturday night in downtown Wheeling. The hotel’s 80-plus rooms consistently were full of out-of-towners, and local residents frequented the establishment, too, because of the terrific views of the historic Wheeling Suspension Bridge and of the Ohio River. Or maybe it was the frozen drinks. “My favorite times there were when I was behind the bar with Mick (Webster), Julie (Thames), Kathy (Sutton), and Terri (Tennant). That really was the most fun because we worked really well together, and the place was always hopping. It was really popular,” Walton reported. “The place was always full of people from the Wheeling area and with the people who were staying at the hotel.

The reason for the name of the establishment is obvious once walking out on its deck area. “That was almost 35 years ago but I can still remember how much of a blast the place was,” she explained. “And it seemed like everything I was making was with a blender. I think those blenders were going from the time I walked in for work until I walked out. One after another, the frozen drink was the thing back then just like martinis are now. Back then, though, everyone wanted something frozen with a bunch of whipped cream and a cherry on top.” The structure that housed the former Wheeling Inn was purchased a few weeks ago by the Wheeling Convention and Visitors Bureau for $1.7 million after the business was deemed a nuisance in May 2022 by Wheeling Police Chief Shawn Schwertfeger. The hotel was constructed in 1962, and the property was bought in 2005 by NALINI LLC for $1 million. That company never operated the restaurant or the lounge and the areas since have suffered heavy water damage. “And what a shame, too, because the place was always crowded, and the money you would make back then was crazy, it really was,” Walton said. “And the banquets were great, too, because once they closed Fabulous Fannies, they made that whole area for banquets, and that money was nuts, too. I think the only bad part about working at the Riverside was how far away the kitchen was. It seemed like it was a half-mile away some nights. “George Boury and the managers at the Riverside were fortunate because a lot of their employees stayed for as long as I can remember. Most of them were still there even after I left to start a family,” she said. “It was a well-run place, though, and there was money to be made every time you went to work, so it’s no wonder the employees stayed around as long as they did.”

Currently, there is standing water resting on tarps inside the former restaurants.

The Food and The Fun

George Boury joined his two brothers, Ellis and Mike, to create the legendary Elby’s Family Restaurant, an empire that grew from the first eatery on National Road in Wheeling to 73 locations in four states. The company also had a hotel in State College, Pa., Fabulous Fannie’s in the Wheeling Inn, and a stake in TJ’s Sports Garden. But it was the Riverside Restaurant and Lounge that allowed George to create a place for fine dining and nightlife. “People loved the food there, too. I really don’t remember anyone complaining about it at all,” Walton said. “But to be honest, I really don’t remember much of what I ate there because we always seemed to be too busy to sit down and actually eat a meal. It was more like picking at something in between this and that every shift.

The Riverside’s bar is still intact today but water damage has ruined much of the infrastructure. “But it was a place for special dinners for special occasions, and I can’t tell you how many people have told me that it was their favorite place to go in the valley. So many people would come up from Glen Dale and Moundsville, and they would come down from Steubenville, and so on,” she said. “I do remember that everyone loved the burgers there, and they enjoyed all of the entrees, too. We served a lot of burgers at the bar, and people would compare the food to where they were from in the area.” The menu, Walton recalled, was completely different than what most people recognized as offerings from an Elby’s. “I know that was important to George. He told me that many times during those three years,” she said. “And when people said something to him about that, he was really proud of it. I know he was a big fan of Ernie’s Esquire and a lot of people compared the menu to what they served up on the hill (in Bethlehem). “Just like everyone else my age who grew up in this area, I was very familiar with Elby’s. The Big Boy, the Slim Jim, and that stuff, and the Riverside had nothing like that on the menu. It was strictly upper level,” Walton remembered. “That’s probably why we were always crowded, and not just on the weekends.

The current state of the bar inside the Riverside Lounge would not pass a Health Department inspection.

The Best of Times

When purchased in the late 1970s, the Wheeling Inn was called “The Downtowner,” but two years’ worth of interior and exterior improvements later and the new Best Western franchise opened to much fanfare. A decade later, Walton moved from her home in Moundsville to Wheeling Island, and initially, she was employed by two different restaurants in the same building. First, it was Applejack’s that was located at 329 N. York Street before the restaurant was transformed into La Docs. That restaurant closed in early 1994. Several years later, Golden Chopsticks opened for operation at the same address. “I worked at a couple of places in Wheeling before I started at the Riverside, and I met George Boury back then because he always came into those places during the evenings,” Walton recalled. “So, I talked to him a lot and once the place where I was working closed, I didn’t know where to go next. I love bartending because it was a terrific night job so I wanted to find a new place.

The roof for the Riverside deck has leaked for many years. “But I knew George Boury so I asked him and he said yes,” she said. “The funny thing was, though, that when I went to the Riverside that first day, George wanted me to work in every other position first before I went behind the bar. So, I was the hostess, I waited tables, I made tossed salads, and everything else before I started bartending. It made sense, too, because you usually have to do everything when you work in a place like that back then.” Walton has bartended in a plethora of places since and she still is employed part-time in a couple of establishments today, but the Riverside Restaurant and Lounge always will be one of her all-time favorites. “I have bartended in a lot of places here in the valley, but the Riverside was definitely one of my favorites because of the people, the money, and because it was really a lot of fun. Some places frown on taking time with customers and things like that, but not at the Riverside. George and the managers encouraged it,” Walton explained. “And the people from out of town? That’s why they came to Wheeling … to have fun. “Those Jamboree weekends were nuts, just nuts, and we got so slammed in the Riverside that there were some nights when I wouldn’t get home until 4-4:30 a.m. because those country music fans would just want to stay up as late as possible on those Saturday nights,” she added. “I do miss those days because the Riverside was the place to be back then. Now, everyone in town can’t wait to see that eyesore come down and go away, and that’s just so sad.”

The deck area once was a very popular place to sit while eating at the Riverside Restaurant.

The blue booths inside the restaurant now are stained from dripping water.

The bar stools were not where to be found inside the former bar and restaurant.

This area of the former hotel has been soiled by a plethora of water leaks. https://ledenews.com/wheeling-ohio-county-cvb-buys-former-wheeling-inn-property-for-1-7-million/ https://ledenews.com/an-open-letter-to-author-the-art-of-the-deal/ https://ledenews.com/a-fat-cat-a-kid-named-paisley-and-a-hotel-across-the-street/ https://ledenews.com/an-open-letter-to-wheeling-mayor-glenn-elliott-2/ Read the full article

All The Light We Cannot See Season 2: Unraveling the Future of the Acclaimed Netflix Series

Introduction:

Netflix's adaptation of Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "All The Light We Cannot See," has captivated audiences with its historical drama set against the backdrop of World War II. Released on November 2, 2023, the miniseries explores the intertwined lives of two teenagers, Marie-Laure LeBlanc and Werner Pfennig. As fans eagerly await news of a potential second season, let's delve into the current status, plot intricacies, cast details, and insights from the creators.

Has Netflix Renewed 'All The Light We Cannot See' for Season 2?

Despite its success and popularity, Netflix has designated "All The Light We Cannot See" as a limited series, signaling uncertainty about a second season. The four-episode span neatly wraps up the storyline adapted from the source material, and as of now, there have been no official announcements regarding a renewal. The likelihood of changes in the foreseeable future remains low.

Plot Overview:

Directed and produced by Shawn Levy, with Steven Knight as the writer, the series follows Marie-Laure, a blind French girl, and her father Daniel LeBlanc, as they flee Paris to avoid falling into Nazi hands with a precious diamond. Their journey brings them to Saint-Malo, where they take refuge with Uncle Etienne, engaging in covert resistance broadcasts. Meanwhile, Werner, a brilliant teenager under Hitler's regime, crosses paths with Marie-Laure, leading to unexpected connections and a shared belief in the goodness of humanity.

Cast Details:

The Netflix series boasts a stellar cast, with Aria Mia Loberti portraying the older Marie-Laure and Nell Sutton capturing the younger version. Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie take on crucial roles as Daniel LeBlanc and Uncle Etienne, respectively. Louis Hofmann stars as Werner, Lars Eidinger portrays the cruel Gestapo officer Von Rumpel, and Marion Bailey embodies the character of Madame Manec. The ensemble cast contributes to the series' success and resonance.

Season 2 Prospects:

As of now, the absence of official announcements regarding a All The Light We Cannot See Season 2, coupled with the limited series classification, suggests that "All The Light We Cannot See" is likely to remain a standalone experience. The show's success is undeniable, but the conclusive nature of its finale and the departure from the novel's conclusion hint at a self-contained narrative.

Ending Choices and Creator Insights:

Director Shawn Levy made significant decisions in shaping the series, deviating from the book's epilogue scenes to offer a conclusion infused with a "promise of hope." Levy explained that while the book's bleak and upsetting scenes were omitted, author Anthony Doerr expressed satisfaction with the adaptation. The divergence from the original novel's conclusion was aimed at creating a more impactful and hopeful ending for a global audience in 2023.

Conclusion:

While fans may yearn for the continuation of Marie-Laure and Werner's story, it appears that the current release of "All The Light We Cannot See" represents a complete and beautifully encapsulated adaptation. As the streaming landscape evolves, the decision to designate it as a limited series ensures that audiences can savor the poignant tale within the confines of its four episodes, leaving a lasting impact on historical drama enthusiasts.
