   "Okay, and who's the chick I dated who turned out to be bipolar?" Israel quizzes Rhyannon on their front porch. Israel is looking down at the list of questions he has written for this quiz about the last three years that Rhyannon begged him to do. Rhyannon wants more than anything for his memory to come back but in the mean time, he's been studying up on all the relevant drama that have been taking place for the last few years.
   "Tatiana Kapur." Rhyannon answers, looking down at her picture in the school yearbook he has on his lap. "And she also had a thing with Emerson Crawford- the son of a bitch that killed Cambridge." Israel waits for him to go on. "And he burned down the dance studio and threw you under the bus for doing it but you really didn't. He did it for Harrow."
   "And where did Brooklyn Sabin go?" Israel questions.
   "Europe." Rhyannon answers. "Too tired of everything that happened here and she's relevant because Cambridge was on his way to tell her he loved her at Palm Springs."
   "What state did Kai go to and with whom did he go there with?" Israel glances down at his list.
   Rhyannon roots through his head. He remembers Kai explaining this whole thing to him not too long ago. "Mr. Gilmore. This was after he was raped by DeVitis and after Emerson bailed Mr. Gilmore out of jail to ruin Kai's relationship with his brother Emlyn."
   "And?" Israel nods for him to go on.
   "Emlyn and Kai are still together?" Rhyannon guesses.
   "Aaron went back to New York for his career and Kai broke up with him at the airport." Israel explains. "That was the same time you had to say goodbye to Kent."
   "Kent!" Rhyannon jumps up. "He calls me Squirrel because of Harrow spreading rumors about me taking the heads off squirrels." He thinks harder. "I built a fort for us on the beach before he left for camp..."
   "What did you get each other for your one year anniversary?" Israel writes something down.
   Rhyannon's mind goes blank and shrugs both shoulders. "A shirt?"
   "You both didn't know what to get each other so you both gave each other a stuffed squirrel." Israel responds. "Okay, now onto my drama."

   Tatiana walks out of her physics class that same morning, holding her big textbook close to her chest, stopping her tracks when she sees Navid heading down the hallway with a quiet smile on his face. Tatiana's eyebrows pull together. "Navid? What are you doing at my school?"
   "Your parents want us to hang out tomorrow night." Navid explains as if he's excited about this. "They're planning to drop us off at some arcade."
   "And why do you look happy about this?" Tatiana wonders aloud. "Wouldn't you rather be with your girlfriend?"
   "I am going to be with her." Navid claims and before Tatiana can tell him that they're not a couple, he continues. "We'll go to the arcade, make our parents think we'll be spending the evening together and then just ditch to go meet our significant others."
   Tatiana looks at him, impressed. Ever since the hurricane, she has felt better about her relationship with Ty and even her relationship with Navid. He doesn't make that bad of a friend- obviously since he's willing to play their parents out. "You think this will work?"
   "It will if we're sneaky enough." Navid shrugs. "So wear something green. I like green."
   Tatiana grins as she watches him continue down the hallway. Her grin grows wider, now that she has something to look forward to for tomorrow.

   Case opens the front door to the Sepulveda house, carrying a bag of breakfast sandwiches and muffins in his arms, using his leg to shut the door behind him. He thought he would surprise Israel and Rhyannon with breakfast just to do something nice. Rhyannon is going through a pretty tough time with his memory, and Israel has been an awesome boyfriend. They deserve something good.
   "I brought food." Case sing songs, going into the kitchen where Harrow is sitting with the twins at the table, specifically right next to Israel. Case slows down when he sees her. "Hi everyone."
   "Hey you." Israel smiles up at Case, not even getting up to greet him.
   "Food, please?" Rhyannon looks up from a list of questions in front of him. He snaps his fingers. "I need energy."
   Case puts the bag down on the table and digs inside to pull out the food. "Sorry Harrow, I didn't know you were going to be here."
   "Kind of ran away from home." Harrow stifles a laugh, her short hair pinned away from her face. "Israel was more than happy to let me crash here, thankfully."
   "Yeah, thankfully." Case fakes a laugh, glancing at his boyfriend. Why didn't Israel tell him about this? He would kind of like to know that Harrow is coming back into Israel's life in more ways than one. "I don't think there's enough for all of us though."
   "Oh, that's okay." Israel puts a muffin and a sandwich in front of Harrow. "She can have mine."
   "You need to eat too." Harrow's face brightens when she looks back at him.
   "Okay, then we'll share." Israel chuckles for no apparent reason, grabbing another paper plate from the middle of the table.
   Case watches the two of them in annoyance. Why are they acting like a couple right now? Don't they see him standing right here? Doesn't Israel know that he's dating Case or did that change when Harrow moved in? Case glances at Rhyannon, who ducks his head back to the paper in front of him. "Dig in, everyone."
