Tiffany took Thomas's son Lincoln out to lunch while Thomas was on set.

"How's your grilled cheese?" She asked him.

"Not like my dad's," he replied. "But it'll do. How's your raw fish?"

Tiffany chuckled. "It's sushi and it's good."

Lincoln's face scrunched up. "Fish are friends, not food."

"You're right," she grinned. "This fishy just decided they wanted to help nourish others."

"He sacrificed himself?" Lincoln's eyes grew wide and Tiff decided to quickly change the subject before things got too morbid.

"Hey," she cleared her throat. "What do you think of your Dad's new car? The Ferrari."

"It's okay I guess," Lincoln shrugged. "I'm more into science than cars, we never really talked about it. Besides, I know why he got the car."

"Why?"

"...I can't tell you," Lincoln giggled to himself.

"Now you have to."

"Nope!"

"Lincoln..." Tiffany was interrupted by her phone ringing. "I'll be right back, Mister."

She walked over by the window that looks over the ocean and answered the call. It was Serenity.

"Hey what's up," Tiffany answered.

"Hey," Serenity sniffled. "So...it's official. Sammy and I are done."

"Oh babe, I'm so sorry."

"Maybe it's for the best, you know?"

"It certainly is. You're going to New York after graduation! You'll find someone there that's more your speed. After you invited him to Kylie's house, he thought he was hot shit. You can do so much better."

"I asked him if he wanted to be with Stassie because, you know, I'm not a fuckin' idiot, it was obvious. He said that she didn't even want him. And it hurt me more because now I know that he still tried to find out. He obviously asked her out."

"Holy shit...are you still working for her?"

"Yeah. But I won't say anything unless she wants to tell me herself. Until then I'm just gonna ride it out, keep making my money, then get on the first flight to New York."

"Jeez...this is so much."

"Yeah well...high school, right? Anyway, how's Catalina? How's the old man?"

"Stop calling him that," Tiffany laughed, glancing over at Lincoln. "He's cool. Catalina is nice. We sorta...had a moment."

"What?!"

"Yeah we, uh, we held hands on the balcony. But it was awkward."

"Ew. I'm sorry I'm just trying to figure out how you go from Nate to a 49 year old actor."

"Because I'm looking past the exterior this time. He listens to me and makes sure that I'm okay. And, you know, I'm a woman now. I can date any guy over 18 at my leisure, thank you very much."

Serenity chuckles. "18 or not, you're still in high school and this is all still weird. Anyway, I have to go. Talk later?"

"Yeah just text me, hun. Feel better."

"I'll try."

Lucy and Kian collapse backward onto his bed; naked, out of breath, and sweaty.
