As Spencer went away to California to investigate the murder of Haley I sat in my desk, bitting my nails. Someone we know has to be behind all this, from California. I moved here so I would forget my past, not to re-live it. "Come in" I said as someone knocked, "Hey" it was Jeffrey.
"Hi, did you make an appointment?" I said as I looked over some random papers, trying to look important, "Um, no but as a worker here I suppose I can just come here" he said, Oh. "Well, congratulations. Now I need some time alone, I have a lot of work to do" I lied "Oh, well that Papa Johns menu looks like it'll help the company" he said, I quickly looked at my papers and realized that I just picked some random sheet, and it got to be a pizza menu...
"Listen, I just want to talk, okay?" He said, his face showing sadness, "I- I don't know about this" I shook my head, I stood up, then grabbed my bag and coat exiting my office and heading towards the elevator, after seconds to head down my heels clicked as I walked towards the exit,
"Carmen!" looking behind me I see Jeffrey jogging towards me, stopping I rolled my eyes,
"What" I sighed

"Please, Carmen. I just want to talk about it, please." His brown eyes looked into mines, it felt like if he hypnotized me and sadly, it was working... "Alright, but it has to be quick" I said, he nodded quickly, then we both exited the building.

It was noon and Jeffrey and I sat in a coffee shop, he ordered a coffee and I ordered a tea, I was eating an sandwich, while eating I felt his eyes on me, "So, what do you want to talk about" I sighed as I grabbed a napkin, "Just about everything" he smiled, "oh, well how's your wife doing" I smiled, sarcastically, " um we divorced" he said, I kinda felt guilty now... "Oh, I'm sorry" I said, drinking my tea, "Na, it's alright, ever since we moved to Cali we did have some problems and she just thought that me being in prison will just be easier to end it there" he sighed then gave me a small smile, "Enough about me, who's Spencer?" He said, I chuckled and looked at my plate, "I met Spencer in California, when you were in trial, the one with the curly hair" I said, he was trying to remember but he didn't get it, "The one with the mind of a smart computer" then it hit him, "Him??! You could've done better" he scoffed, "Excuse me? I'm pretty sure I chose the right one, he's very nice and lovely" I smiled "So you're not dating anymore bad boys huh" "No" I said.

"Well, here's to the new Carmen" he raised his coffee, I chuckled and raised my cup of tea, then clinking our glasses together we drank looking at eachother. "Want to come to my house?" He said, "What?" I almost spitted out my tea, "Yeah, I mean I really want to keep being friends" he said, should I do this? What if something happens, something that I don't want to happen, I'm not Carmi anymore.
