Daria ate lunch with Leo and Alex.

"Where's Taylor?" Leo asked.

"She couldn't make it" Daria said.

"What is with Taylor these days?" Alex asked. "She's always too busy for us."

Daria shrugged.

"I'll ask her when she talks to me" Daria replied.

Leo and Alex share a look.

"What are you talking about?" Leo asked.

"Ever since I got hit by the car we haven't really talked much" Daria said. "It feels like me and her haven't had sex in months. Even marriage counseling won't help."

"Maybe you should talk to her" Alex said. "I mean you guys love each other. You have to fix it."

Daria nodded.

"And you have a baby to think about too" Leo said. "At least your daughter still has two parents. Callum will grow up with one dad."

Alex looked saddened by Leo's words.

"Craig deserves to be here" Alex told Leo. "He was a good man."

Leo nodded sadly.

"He was a good father too" Leo said sadly.


Connor enters the school and walks into the gym to see Ava sitting with his class.

"What's this?" Connor asked.

"Your late" Ava said. "So Lena needed someone to watch them so I generously watched them."

Connor stares at her.

"I mean I make a better gym teacher than you ever did" Ava said laughing. "God did you even teach in here?"

Connor stares at Ava confused.

"Have a good day" Ava said smirking.

Ava laughed and walked out.


Victoria and James were in her office discussing the new wine options.

"Well I can't go to taste it" James said.

Alex entered and put some papers on her desk.

"James I need you to go too" Victoria said. "Your my partner in this business. I need a second opinion."

"You should take Alex" James said.

"I don't think he wants you pushing your work onto him" Victoria argued. "Besides he's a recovering alcoholic."

"I don't mind" Alex said. "A sip of wine won't hurt."

"Really?" Victoria asked. "I mean are you sure?"

"Yeah" Alex smiled. "I'd love to spend some time with you. It might be fun."

"See" James smiled. "Have fun, Alex."

James left.


Alex sat next to Victoria sipping wine.

"Well?" Victoria asked.

"It makes me wish I could still drink all the time" Alex said handing it back to her with a smile. "it's really good."

Victoria smiled.

"This is fun" Victoria said smiling. "You and me just sitting here sipping wine. This is the first time we've ever spent real time together."
