"Baby, did you get back the doll?" Lorenzo asked as she walked in.

"Mama, Mama, Where's Lala." Mari cried, running to her mother.

"I forgot it," She responded, looking outside the window. She left it at Landon's house.

She cried even harder which was adding to the headache she got from her own crying. "Marianna Sofia Santiago please stop your whining! Life sucks, okay!?" She yelled, causing her to cry harder. Silently.

"Mama," She trembled.

Carlota sighed. "I'm sorry, baby." She cooed, kissing her forehead. "Mommy's not in the mood. We're leaving tomorrow night? I'll pick up LaLa tomorrow, I promise." She smiled, hugging her.

"O-okay." She whispered, hugging her back.

She walked away into another room.

"What happened with your mom?" He asked, concerned.

"Nothing, Enzo. I really just need to sleep, okay?"

"But-."

"Take care of the girls." She kissed his lips and crawled into bed.

She wanted to sleep Landon off.

Annie came back early in the morning to her brother collapsed on the couch. "Were you drinking?" She asked, hanging her coat.

He didn't respond.

She noticed the doll on the coffee table. She sat on the ground watching her brother become depressed. "Why are you so upset, Landon?" She asked, growing worried.

"You were right. It was Carlota. With short hair. And she does have a child, actually, more than one and I just let her go. Again." He sighed.

"I-I. She got herself pregnant and forgot you? She's a b*tch Landon and you deserve better." She said, getting angry.

"Annie, Carlota said goodbye to you in a letter." He confessed sitting up. "But I threw it away. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. She said those horrible things about me and then expects you to say 'I love you'. Forget her Landon." She said rolling her eyes.

"Actually, she said all those things to protect you Annie and there were times she did defend you. In the goodbye letter, she explained everything to you. She also gave you a makeup kit." He explained, quietly.

She blinked a few times. "You had me believe that Carlota was this cause of all this?" She asked. "Why, Landon? And my first makeup kit? So all of this is your fault? Landon why?" She questioned, with anger.

"Leighanne, I'm sorry, okay? I feel bad for what I did to you and Carlota. I don't think you understand that. And it doesn't matter because she's not going to stay for long and she hates me. She wanted me to tell you hi by the way."

Annie sighed. "Landon-." She began but was interrupted by the door knocking.

Annie walked to the door and opened it.

The door revealed a tired-looking Carlota. "Hi, Annie." She sighed.

"Carlota!" She yelled, embracing her for a hug. "I'm so sorry for hating you. Landon just told me what happened between you two. Please don't leave his life, he really loves you and he's sorry." She begged. "And he's so depressed without you, it's annoying."

She nodded her head and walked into the house. "Landon, I need Marianna's doll." She said, walking towards him.

He threw it at her, not sparing her a glance.

She wasn't going to give in. She wasn't going to give in. "Landon, I didn't just come for the doll." She let out.

She gave in.

Carlota made her way to the couch to sit next to him. "I've missed having you around, Landon." She confessed. "But I'm moving back tomorrow, so we might not see each other again. Move on Landon, okay?"

He closed his eyes because he didn't want Carlota to see his tears. "Did you just come here to formally break up with me?" He asked, his voice cracking.

She rolled her eyes and used her hand to touch his beard. It did make her cringe at first but she brushed it off.

He turned to look at her and she pressed her soft lips against his own igniting the electrifying shock they once shared.

This simple yet sudden kiss was enough to satisfy his thirst for her but Landon was a greedy person.

He held her thigh and lifted her to sit on his laps, never breaking their kiss.

Deep down she knew she never stopped loving him but she wasn't going to admit it.

"Landon," She breathed against his lips.

His eyes opened to gleam into his long-lost love.

"I'm going tomorrow and I'm not coming back. This is the last time we'll see each other. So I want to have you while I still can. Do you want me?"

He nodded his head. "I want you every way I can Carlota Rosetta Santiago-Smith." He spoke.

She nodded her head and pressed her lips against his once more.
