The trouble with Liz, she's heard Mike bemoan on more than one occasion, is that she really is too good for him. Really just too quick and too pretty and too long-suffering, really the best gal in the world.

And of course the one and only Elizabeth Imbrie doesn't believe that. She's not too good or too bad for anyone; only herself, and only worse off if she doesn't encourage others to be the better versions of themselves that she's seen are possible.

So she's waiting, for this whole Lord Haven situation to shake itself out.

And then she'll see.
