Early in the morning, Aria shook them all awake, Lottie trailed behind everyone else, rubbing her eyes. It was final safe to leave Spencer's room, the night before Ian had left to be with Melissa in Philly.

"I didn't realise life existed at this hour" Emily sighed hungover.
"Come on, guys, just walk. You need to see this" Aria told them, reaching for Spencer laptop.
"I always hoped my first sunrise would have tequila in it" Hanna said. Lottie sat down exhausted, putting her head down on the counter.
"I'll make coffee" Spencer said.

Aria brought up the picture the picture of Ali.
"I thought we were done with this" Lottie yawed, "Ian was the one following her"
"You woke us up for this?" Emily asked.

"It's important. I couldn't let it go " Aria said, putting a printed copy of the picture down.
"Have you been up all night?" Hanna asked.
"Maybe" she answered.
Lottie focused on her eyes, "One eye bigger than the other like a creepy power puff girl".

Aria waved her hand, "Stop looking at the eye, just look at the picture". Lottie sighed and sat up, looking at the picture, not seeing anything new. Aria picked up the picture, "There's only one place where this picture could have been taken from".

"Where?" Lottie asked.
"Alison's bedroom" Aria said.

Spencer stopped making the coffee and looked at the picture.
"No, Alison is in the picture. She clearly didn't take that." Hanna argued.
"I don't think Aria is saying she took it" Lottie reasoned.
"So her parents took it?" Emily questioned.
"No. Her brother" Aria said.

"Jason" Spencer said, Lottie put her head back down, the less she was reminded of her mistake the better.
"You know, my mom ran into him at the bank. He's back in town" Hanna said.

"Why?" Emily questioned.
"We have to call him" Aria said.
"Eww. I am not going to talk to him" Hanna refused.
"Me neither" Emily added.

Still with her head down she waited for someone to speak. Spencer still hadn't said if she would or not. "You're looking at me right" she sighed. When she looked up they were all indeed looking at you.

"He might be more willing to answer you" Hanna shrugged.
"I'm not gonna kiss him again"

She watched Jason run up and down the bleaches topless, with a frown, talking to him and bad enough now she had to make eye contact.  He spotted her an waved, jogging up to her.

"Hey" she waved, shuffling her feet, "Thanks for agreeing to see me".
"Well it sounded important" he said.
Lottie nodded, "Why are you back in town anyway?".
"Just taking care of family business. So was there a reason you wanted to see me or did you just need an excuse?".

She stumbled out a few words, blushing. Fumbling in her bag to find the picture, "I do". she handed him the picture, "And I wouldn't just make up an excuse, if I wanted to see you I would just say".
