At the office, Sal was talking to Joe. Murr was there, too. Brian was late and that rarely happened. Sal is the only person that was always late. They hadn't talked to him for a while now. They had time off from work and Q went on vacation by himself. "So you told him that you still want to get married. Sal, come on now. I love seeing you guys together, but you are making it difficult to do that," Joe said. Sal sighed and looked towards the door. He was waiting for Brian to come in so he didn't have to talk about this with Joe. Murr glanced at Sal then Joe. In a few minutes, Brian came in. They all looked over at Brian. "Hey, sorry I was late. Traffic and shit ya know?" he said and glanced at each of his friends. "It's fine," Murr said. Brian looked at Sal. He smiled a little and nodded at him. Sal nodded back. He wanted to ask him if he was okay, but if he wasn't Brian would have told him. They always talked to each other about that stuff. Sal just let it be. Soon they got to work.

After two hours, they finished up in the office. Murr left to go see a friend while Joe, Q and Sal stayed at the office. "How about we go and eat out? I know it's just the three of us, but we can do this again some other time with Murr," Joe suddenly said. Sal and Brian looked at Joe. "Um...sure," Brian said and glanced over at Sal. He wondered if Sal will consider doing that. Sal sighed and shrugged. "Sure I can do that," he said. He didn't look over at Brian. Joe nodded and packed up his bag while Brian and Sal did the same. Soon they went to their cars, Brian looked over at Sal and asked if he wanted to ride with him. Joe glanced at Brian then at Sal who was putting his bag in his car. "Um...sure. Thanks," he said then went to Brian's jeep and got in. Brian smiled then looked over at Joe. "Text Sal where to meet," he said. "Alright," Joe said then got into his car as Brian got into his. He glanced at Sal who was looking at his phone. Brian sighed then started up the jeep and headed out.

While driving, Sal got a text from Joe to meet him at Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. "Alright," Brian said. They were silent for a few minutes until Brian turned the radio on. Sal glanced at it then at his phone as he looked through his twitter. A song came on the radio that Brian knows. It was "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. He smiled and tapped his fingers to the beat. Sal glanced at Brian's fingers then back at his phone. He bit the inside of his cheek to keep himself from smiling. He was supposed to be mad at him not happy. After a while, Sal put his phone away and looked out the window. There was a lot of people walking around to get to their locations. He heard cars honking and people yelling. New York can be stressful to live in, but he loves it. It's his home. He even wants to die here. Grow a family. With Brian. Although Brian doesn't want to get marry or have kids. Sal looked over at Brian. He watched him drive. Brian felt eyes on him. He glanced over at Sal and saw him looking. He smirked and looked back at the road. "Do I have something on my face?" he asked. Sal shook his head and looked out the window. "Just thinking," he replied. "About my face?" Brian asked. Sal pursed his lips and didn't answered. Brian smirked and took that as a yes.

In an hour, Brian parked where he don't have to pay then got out. He looked over at Sal and walked over to him. Hard Rock was down the street. Sal exhaled a breath as he looked around. Brian glanced at him. "Shall we go?" he asked. Sal raised an eyebrow and looked over at Brian. "Shall? Really?" Sal asked and laughed. Brian smiled. It felt like forever since he heard that laugh. "Ha. Yeah. Wrong choice of words I guess. Come on," he said and clapped Sal's on his back as he headed towards Hard Rock. Sal followed him. Once they got there, Joe and Murr were waiting for them. Joe saw Brian and Sal plus he noticed them smiling. Murr looked over and saw it, too. When Sal and Brian got to them, Joe hugged Sal then Brian. "How was the ride here?" Joe asked. "It was fine," Brian said. Sal nodded. "What Brian said," he said. Murr nodded. "Good. Let's go in and eat up," he said. They followed Murr into Hard Rock.

When they went to work again, they filmed at a place to do a focus group. Sal and Brian got along. Sal kept his feelings in the back of his mind. After filming for the day, Joe looked over at Brian and Sal. He smiled when he saw them getting along. "Maybe they will get back together," Joe thought.
