The Warren offer for a helo ride was simply that; it wasn’t going anywhere out of his way and he could provide the ride to someone he liked and still likes. Nothing more except he knows it will give him presence.
There is no Warren knowledge of Paul’s activities, not does he have any reason to know/suspect.
Paul, on the other hand is in his home area, his “girlfriend Elizabeth” is distantly away in two ways; physically and socially (e-mail and IM don’t count); he’s living his day-to-day life while he’s at his home and she’s away. His day-to-day life included the arrival of an old “friend” who he got to see daily/frequently, and it was a simple matter of being together. And what happened when he was living his life at home, happened. Knowing when Elizabeth was scheduled to arrive, he could have just left his stuff where it was (assuming it was at his “friend’s” house) or have her leave his house and stay at her own home for the few days that Elizabeth would be visiting; the “friend” already knew the Paul-Elizabeth relationship when she restarted her relationship with Paul, in Elizabeth’s absence. And, when Elizabeth left Paul and returned home, Paul would be free to do whatever he wished until Elizabeth’s next visit (probably at the end of the school year).

As for Elizabeth, transportation opportunity came from Warren, and that’s it; Elizabeth simply decided to take the offer, arrive a day early, and surprise Paul. And, maybe, in the back of her mind (we’ll never know), thought that they could quickly marry/elope over the few days there. But I have no problem with her accepting the transportation offer, knowing that she thinks of Warren as a friend (regardless of what Warren thinks).

While I liked Anthony a while back, and everyone accepted his marriage; that’s passed. What I hope is that Elizabeth doesn’t rant and rave (which she has every right to do if what I think is happening with Paul and his “friend”) and then return home and feel she’s a jilted woman, and Anthony offers her comfort.

First, I’ve read and liked FBOFW a long time; I don’t want to see Elizabeth taking ‘comfort’ and then becoming a quick stepmother. I’d rather the series end with her on her own and there not be closure to the series.

But, as suggested before, I’d like to see the FBOFW team, even if not under Lynn, carry on a series with April as the lead and the collective family as background. It could be interesting.

But then, I’m a traditionalist; I like FBOFW, Mark Trail, Prince Valient (sometimes), Family Circus, Peanuts.

I’m open to comments, being dismissed, slings and arrows, etc., if anyone wants to e-mail me and say I’m right or wrong. Again, only my two cents
