Jennifer and Colin told Evan everything from he first time they met and to how they broke up. While Jennifer and Colin talked Evan was silent. When they finally finished he said, "So mom wanted you guys to be together," Evan said. Jennifer bit her lip. They had portrayed the story in a way to be if it them. They told the truth, but not the whole truth.
"Your mom saw something that we didn't. She sacrificed everything so that we could be together," Jennifer said.
"Were you and dad together before mom talked to you?" Evan asked.
"No,"'Colin said immediately.
"We were together on the Once though, as you already know," Jennifer said.
"But did you guys like each other? Was mom just in the way?" Evan asked. Neither Jennifer nor Colin knew how to reply. If Helen and Colin weren't married Jennifer and Colin probably would have tried at a relationship earlier. They were attracted to each other, but they never acted because Colin was married.
"No nothing happened until your mom talked to us," Colin replied before Jennifer could find the words.
"Ok," Evan said.
"So..." Evie said. "Are you ok with Jen marrying dad now?" She asked.
"I guess so," he said.
"If you ever want to know more about mom you can always ask me," Colin said.
"Ok thank you!" Evan said.

Evan slept over at Evie and Daniel's for a couple more days even though he was back to loving Jennifer. Evie had already taken a couple days off, so Jennifer and Colin got the rest of the week to themselves. Colin was in between projects and Jennifer taught an acting class once a week at a local collage, so they were able to sped a lot of quality time together. They stayed in bed until late in the afternoon and they watched movies late onto the night. If only it could be like this all the time. They both loved Evan, but it was nice to have some time away from him. They didn't have to worry about him instead they could just enjoy each others company.
"This week went by so fast," Colin rolled onto his side so that he was face to face with Jennifer. He could see her eyes flicker with lust.
"Yes it did," it was the morning of her dress fitting. Jennifer and Colin were gonna go to Evie's to pick up Evan which meant their short vacation was up. Then she would go to the dress shop with her friends while Colin and the boys went tux shopping. He was going to just wear a regular black suit, but Jennifer insisted Colin buy a wedding appropriate tux.

"I can't believe you two actually pulled it off," Ginny said shocked. Ginny and Lana were both at Evie's apartment waiting for Jennifer, as they were all traveling to the store together in one car. The rest of the bridesmaids were going to meet them at the store. Evie and Lana had just explained to Ginny how they managed to fix the Evan situation.
"Yeah well you were right. Jennifer and Colin needed to know," Evie said.
"I glad you listened to me," Ginny smiled.
"Sorry we are late," Jennifer and Colin rushed through the door. Ginny, Lana and Evie all burst out laughing.

The three girls walked into the dimly lit parking garage that was underneath the apartment building. "Who want's to drive?" Jennifer asked. She hated driving and all of her friends knew that. Colin was always the one who drove.
"I will drive," Ginny said. Lana alike Jennifer didn't enjoy driving either. She always got frustrated at the other road users.
"Or I could drive," Evie said.
"That's ok Ginny's got it," Lana said. Jennifer and Ginny both nodded in agreement.
"You guys don't trust me?" Evie questioned.
"No we trust you, but we just prefer Ginny to drive," Jennifer said. Evie would always be a teenager to them, even though she was well into her twenty's now.
"Did you know that Jared drives a motorcycle," Lana changed the subject.
"So..." Evie could feel herself start to blush at the image of Jared on a motorcycle.
"Wait do I not know something?" Ginny asked.
"This is nothing to know," Evie said sternly to Lana.
"Are you sure?" Ginny raised an eyebrow.
"Fine, Jared and I kissed," Evie confessed.
"Oh my gosh! Why am I the last one to know?" Ginny yelled.
"Shhhh. It's not that big of a deal," Evie said.
"Then why are you acting like it's an enormous secret? Does Daniel know?" Ginny bombarded her with questions.
"Yes he knows and he understands that it was a one time thing," Evie said.
"Wow that's...great," Ginny said unconvinced. She found it hard to believe that Daniel would be fine with the kiss. Evie and Jared had history and Daniel knew that. He must have felt threatened or jealous. "Do you have feelings for Jared?" Ginny asked.
"She does," Jennifer and Lana answered for her.
"I might... but I just need to think about this before I make a decision. Daniel has been the best boyfriend ever, and our relationship is quite serious. I don't know if I want to throw it all away. We live together... we love each other," Evie tried to explain her thoughts.
"If you have feelings for Jared maybe your relationship with Daniel isn't actually that strong. There is no point in staying in a relationship just because you are comfortable," Ginny tried to give her some advice.
"But I really do love Daniel," Evie said.
"Well then you need to stop dwelling over Jared," Lana said. Evie knew that they were all right, she should just forget about Jared. However, for some odd reason she couldn't stop thinking about Jared.
