"What can I help you with today? I saw you guys eyeing the ring case, is there's any specific ring you want to look at, let me know." Buck nervously laughs, hen noticed a flirty hair flip from the worker. "we're actually here for a pair of earrings, silver to be exact." Hen interrupted. "Of course, if you'll follow me." She walks away and hen rolls her eyes at buck. "I don't know how you do it." Buck follows behind her. "I don't know either." They started to thoroughly look through the glass case until a pair catches his eye. "That one." He pointed at it. "This is the Victorian foiled sapphire silver closed back earrings, Valued at 450." She takes it out of the case and shows it to Buck and hen. "I think that's the one, what do you think?"

"It's definitely beautiful." Buck smiles. "I'll take it." The saleswoman nods her head. "Great, I'll get that up wrapped up for you." She rings Buck up and he is overcome with relief. She hands Buck the receipt and they walk out the store, "wow those earrings were pretty penny but she's going to love them, no doubt." Hen says enthusiastically. "Ummm- what is this?" He looks behind the receipt and it was the saleswoman's number. "Call me" was written in red ink. "No thanks." He rips it up throws it in the nearest trash. "If I was Artemis I would appreciate you deposing a another women's number who was hitting on you but you're an idiot." She snaps at him. "W-what d-did I do?"

"That was still the receipt. What if Artemis didn't like it and needed to return it?" He stops his tracks and finally realizes what hen was talking about. "Ohhh ummm, oops." She hit her forehead with the palm of her hand. "If you happen to propose to her one day, you have to find some way to top this. Good luck with that, Evan."

I woke with buck not beside me, it was nice having the whole bed to myself and not almost falling off the bed. I checked my phone and groaned into my pillow, "I deserve to wake up this late." I looked at squeaky the dragon and here I am talking to myself again. I toss the covers off of me and sit on the edge of the bed, "let me guess, you wanna take a walk?" Luna hopped down the stairs and i yawned loudly, i  made my way downstairs to get ready. "Hello?" I answered my phone. "Artemis... I-i really screwed up." I heard Eddie crying through the phone.

"I'm on my way." I hung up and quickly got changed. "I promise I'll give you a walk when I come back." I fed luna then left in a rush. As soon as I arrived to eddies house, I noticed bucks car parked. "He called you too?" Buck asked while getting out of his car. "Yeah, something isn't right." Buck rings the doorbell and Eddie opens the door. "Thanks for coming." Eddie sighed. "So, what happened?" I asked. "I messed up. So last night, Marisol took Chris and her nephew to the movies and while she was gone. Kim came by." he was nervously playing with his hands. "You had her over here?" buck asked.

"After we talked, I brought here to come clean. To tell her what she thought was happening between us wasn't really happening." Eddie was starting to freak out while Buck was trying to calm him down. "What exactly happened after that?" I sat on the arm rest of his couch. "About as well as you'd expect. I thought that was it then she came back while Chris was out with marisol.... You guys don't understand, she didn't just look like Shannon... she was Shannon." Buck and I took a quick glance at one another. "It's hard for me to say, she was trying to be kind but then Marisol walked in with Christopher." My jaw dropped, "oh shit." Escaped my mouth without even thinking. "And at first. He thought his mom had come back. I guess I did too." Buck hated to see Eddie this way, but he also knew that Chris was hurting too.
