"There's no way that Jurassic Park is better than Jurassic World." Kyle shook his head as he held the Cafe door open for Juliet to walk inside. "Are you kidding me? It's a classic. Jurassic World is a cash grab, even if it is good." She laughed.

"Which, it is. Chris Pratt owned the role as Owen."

"And Sam Neil did great as Alan."

"Who?"

"Oh wow."

The two were laughing at one another when Juliet looked up and saw Spencer behind the counter. She offered him a small smile but could see him tense up. "Spence!" Kyle shouted and headed his way pulling Juliet behind him. "What y'all up to today?" Spencer asked them hoping to keep a conversation going to avoid any awkward silence.

"Lunch and then probably a little shopping then back to Jule's place. Want to come?"

"Thanks man but I'm here all afternoon then I have to head back home."

"Damn."

"So lunch. What can I get y'all?"

"Jules?" Kyle said.

"Uhm, a grilled chicken salad with raspberry vinaigrette sounds good." She said meeting eyes with Spencer.

"And Kyle?"

"I'll just take a triple bacon cheeseburger and cheese fries." He replied

"Eating light I see." Spencer laughed.

"Always."

"Hey, yo Kyle!" They heard someone yell and when they looked towards the pool table they saw JJ waving him down.

Kyle looked to Juliet and said, "Do you mind?" "Not at all." She replied. She was glad she was going to have a moment to check in with Spencer.

Kyle reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet and handed it to Juliet so she could pay before joining JJ.

She looked towards Spencer and he said, "What to drink?"

"Waters."

"That'll be $25.67"

She handed Spencer Kyle's card and leaned closer to him. "Are you just going to avoid me forever?"

"I told you I loved you last week. I overstepped a boundary."

"You we're expressing your feelings. In no way were you out of line, Spencer."

"And if Kyle found out?"

"He won't. Besides, this is all part of you trying to heal. You're navigating your mind, this just may be how you think you need to feel right now."

Spencer realized what Juliet said had some depth of truth to it. He was so caught up in his mind, he was so obsessed with the idea of figuring out what his stuck point is, he would hold onto anything and force it to make sense. "You think?"

"There's a possibility. Do me a favor and explore the thought with Dr. Spears during your next appointment, please?"

"Anything for you, Juliet." Spencer smiled handing Kyle's card back with a receipt. As he did he noticed Jordan walk in with Simone. Spencer looked Kyle's way and saw his eyes were already locked on Jordan. "So, does Kyle know about what went down with in Vegas?"

"He does. Why do you ask?"

"Because Jordan just walked in and Kyle hasn't taken his eyes off of him."

Juliet turned and saw Kyle staring just like Spencer said he was. "Good news is Simone won't let Jordan come anywhere near me."

"Yeah but that doesn't mean Kyle won't go anywhere near him."
