3rd person POV

After Riley finished her homework they cleaned up their stuff and left the coffee shop. They walked to Lizzie's car in silence. Not an uncomfortable one but one where they were enjoying their company. Riley's thoughts were racing as always, Lizzie was happy to have her two favorite people together and Robbie was thinking about what movies to watch. They are three totally different people that yet fit together like they were made for each other. It's like fate played a good game: all the bad and all the good led to this moment.  It was as if their paths were meant to cross.

All Riley could think about was everything that could go wrong. What if's where playing in her head like it was her day job. What if Robbie was like all the other men she met after her parents died? What if Lizzie changed? What if they didn't want me to spend the evening there? What if...

''Sweetie?'' Lizzie's familiar loving voice broke Riley's thoughts. She looked up and saw they were by the car. Riley forced a smile to Lizzie before getting in the car. Lizzie was worried. She saw a lot of pain in Riley's eyes and Lizzie wants nothing more than to take it all away.

"Hey Robbie, can you drive?" Lizzie asked, her eyes locked on Riley in the back seat. Robbie had noticed the tension in Riley's behavior and wanted to do whatever he could to help. Without hesitation, he nodded and Lizzie tossed him the keys. As they passed each other, Robbie took Lizzie's arm and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek as a way to wish her good luck.

Lizzie got in next to Riley and holds out her hand in the middle seat for Riley to take. Riley looked at it and didn't know what to do. The voices were very loud again. She looked at Lizzie with hopeless eyes, not knowing what to do with herself. Lizzie smiles at her and nods her head toward her hand while wriggling her fingers. With some hesitation, Riley reaches over and takes Lizzie's hand. Riley subconsciously tried to pull Lizzie's hand closer and Lizzie took the hint. She climbed into the middle seat and laid her hand on Riley's lap. Riley turned around so she was looking out the window and leaned back into Lizzie. She let out a content sign, Lizzie was providing her enough comfort to make the voice sound a bit softer. Lizzie looked out the window and saw that they were already halfway home. Meanwhile, in the rear-view mirror, Lizzie and Robbie locked eyes, both thinking back to what their lawyer had said to them.

''If it all goes well Riley will be yours by the end of the month.''

It was a somber moment, but Lizzie was determined to be there for Riley and help her through whatever struggles she was facing

Before they know it they arrive at home. Riley has been looking at her phone for a bit, constantly rereading the text she got from Faye. Lizzie read the text too but she doesn't say anything. She nods to Robbie to just go into the house. Leaving the other two behind in the car.

Faye:
Hi love! I wanted to wait until I saw you but you seem to ignore me a bit these past few days... I hope you're alright! Buttt............. Me and Jack are officially in a relationship and I couldn't be happier.

Riley has written almost fifty different replies, but she can quit get it right. She knows Lizzie is looking at her phone to, so she speaks up.

''I don't know what to say, Lizzie.'' She starts.

''I can see that, why don't you know?''

Riley shrugs. ''I don't know, I mean Jack seems nice but something in me tells me not to trust him, but if Faye is happy, why should I bother?''
