'What's your plans for today?' Mike asks as Demi lies on the sofa curled up under a large blanket.
'I'm going to go see Joe, I think.' She replies causing him to smile.
'Did you miss him while you were away? I mean it's been what? Five weeks?' Mike asks and she nods her head.
'Yeah, it was really strange. We spoke as much as we could but it was strange not being able to see him.' She replies.
'What's going on with you two? Do you see this working out or is it still a bit of fun?' He asks sitting down on the edge of the sofa as batman jumps into Demi's arms.
'I don't know. I mean I know it seems like we're jumping into this really quickly but something just feels so right about this.' She replies.
'I think you should do what makes you feel good. If Joe is making you happy then why shouldn't you be with him. Why shouldn't you be happy.' He says and she sighs.
'I just feel like everyone is going to think I'm moving on from Wilmer so fast and I don't want people to think I didn't love Wilmer because I did.' She replies and he smiles slightly.
'Everyone knows you loved Wilmer, no one will ever dispute that but you are entitled to move on...' He says and she nods her head.
'I know... I just- I don't know if I'm ready for another serious relationship.' She admits.
'Has Joe said anything about a serious relationship?' He asks and she shakes her head.
'Nope.' She replies quietly.
'Then why are you worrying?' He asks.
'I don't know.' She replies.
'Stop worrying... Just go with what's happening and if you feel like it's too much then speak to Joe, I'm sure he'll understand.' He says.

Knock. Knock. Knock.
Demi stands outside Joe's house as she waits for him to answer. It's a little after 3pm and she's spent most of the day trying to sort out things at Mike's.
'Hey, you...' Joe says smiling as he opens the front door.
'Hi... Not busy are you?' She asks.
'Not too busy for you.' He replies smiling as he lets her through the front door. He closes the door behind her and turns to face her as she smiles.
'Your hair...' He says running his fingers through her newly dyed blonde hair.
'Do you like it?' She asks and he nods his head.
'I love it.' He replies. Smiling she wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him closer to her.
'I missed you.' She admits.
'I missed you too.' He replies.
'You okay? You're a bit pale.' He says leaning back to look at her face as she yawns.
