Candice POV
I set my alarm on my phone so I don't wake Grant. I wake up at 6am and go on a walk to the beach with the dogs. When I get back Grant is sitting on the couch watching baseball.

Candice: Hey babe.
Grant:Hey. Where did you go?
Candice: I just went on a walk to the beach with the dogs. I love it here.
Grant: Im glad you like it, I made a pot of coffee if you want some.
Candice: Oh, thanks.
Grant: And I just got a call from my manager that I have a meeting with a couple of producers for a upcoming movie. The meeting is at 8, so I would leave at 7:30. Sorry we can't have a nice breakfast this morning.
Candice: No, its okay. I have to go run some errands.
Grant: Okay, we have about 15 minutes till I have to start getting ready...

I run to the couch and jump on Grant. He kisses me and rips of tank top off and throws it behind the couch. I push him onto the couch and kiss him. He rolls over and pushes me onto the couch.

Candice: I love you.
Grant: I love you.

Soon we are interuupeted by the three dogs barking at a bird that has landed on the porch.

Grant: Shut up!
Candice:Its kinda weird that just like Iris and Barry, we get interuppted too.
Grant: Yah, I always hated when they did that.
Candice: Well I should probably take a shower, cause now I'm all sweaty.
Grant: Yah...me too.

Grant picks me up and runs us to the bathroom.

20 minutes later

I hop out of the shower and hand Grant a towel and grab one for myself. Grant stays in the bathroom and gets ready. I put on a pair of jeans and roll the bottoms up, grab Grant's La Dodgers hoodie and put my white converse on. Grant walks back into the living room in a suit and he hands me his tie.

Grant: Can you please do this?
Candice: You haven't learned how to do this yet?
Grant: No.

I put his tie on.

Grant: Thanks.
Candice: Your welcome.

He kisses me.

Candice: What time is our flight  back to Vancouver?
Grant: I think its 1.
Candice: Okay, I should be back around 10.
Grant: Yah me too. I'll take the rental car and you can take the BMW.
Candice:Okay, thanks.

7:30am

Grant: Babe, I gotta go.
Candice: Okay, I  love you.
Grant:Love you too.

He walks over to the couch and kisses me.

Candice: Bye.

As Grant walks out the door I get ready to leave. I put the dogs in their crates and clean up the kitchen. Before I walk out I put my hair in a bun and grab one of my hats. I put my sunglasses on and walk out the door. I can't risk someone noticing me with Rick and then have them thinking that I am cheating on Grant with him. That would be awful.
I get into the car and turn on the radio. The drive is about 15 minutes.That was the shortest 15 minutes of my life. I pull into a spot on the side of the street close to the coffe shop. I walk in a Rick is sitting in the corner next to the window. I look at the chair at the table and there is a bouquet of flowers. I walk to the table and he gets up and tries to kiss me but I just hug him. He looks confused but doesn't ask.

Rick: Hey Candice.
Candice:Hey.

Rick: I missed you so much, I'm sorry I haven't chatted in a while, I have been very busy. I wanted to tell you that it was a mistake to break up before I went back to Australia. I really did some thinking, I love you Candice. And I want to move to Vancouver to be with you. My manager told me that there is a part open in a show that shoots there and I thought it would just be perfect to be with you. There hasn't been a day that I  didn't think of you. I know now that you are the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to start dating again. This past year has been bad. Those two years that we were dating, I should have asked you to be my wife and then when I had to move back, I froze and made everyhting more difficult. I love you Candice.
Candice: Rick, that was really sweet and I loved you too. But that was a long time ago. I realized that I love someone else. I found my forever and I need you to know that those two year, they were great, and at the time I thought you were my forever. When you left, I was heartbroken. I hated you for leaving me, but I knew that it was the harder for you. I was sad then, but now I'm happy and in love. I'm really sorry.
