Toby and Connor-Old friends

Ezra stepped out of the interrogation room and collected his phone from Tanner. He saw Aria with her parents heading towards the exit. They locked eyes and Aria smiled, but Ezra looked away. Toby, accompanied by Connor, drove him home.

Connor "Looks like you're off the hook. I was hoping to arrest someone."

Ezra "Sorry."

The men laughed and continued their drive. Toby dropped the teacher off at his apartment, then rode back with Connor to the station.

Connor "What happened between you two?"

Toby sighed, knowing he was talking about Spencer.

Toby "I moved away. My dad got a new job in Maine."

Connor nodded, satisfied with the answer.

Toby "What about you? What happened to your old friend?"

Connor "He Uh....He committed suicide a few months back in December."

Toby glanced over at his friends for a quick second before looking back at the road.

Connor "He was an alcoholic with a dead son and spent his days playing Russian Roulette. I tried to help him...I really thought I was getting though him. He even called me his son, took me in when my dad kicked me out. After he...died...I changed my last name from Kamski to Anderson, adopted his St. Bernard Sumo, and moved to Rosewood."

The ride back was silent. Toby felt bad that he lied to Connor, and his friend gave him the truth. He knew it wasn't his place to tell Connor about Spencer's secret though. The two arrived at the station and went to their respective places.

Toby opened his desk drawer and took out the old bracelet Spencer made for him with her name on it. The young girl had a similar bracelet with his name on it. Both wouldn't fit in their wrist today, but they never got rid of them. Toby sighed and continued his reports, keeping the bracelet next to him in the desk.
