it's a date (the only problem is it's fake)

protecting Lizzie is my priority, it always has been

Josie drags her feet as she follows Lizzie to another store. They've been shopping for the last three hours, and Josie's feet are killing her. The blonde twin doesn't seem affected though, she goes from one store to another. Lizzie said new clothes for a new year are essentials, so Josie had to follow. It's been two days since she came back from Hope's family cabin, and maybe she missed her girlfriend a little. They saw each other for a total of three hours in two days, and that really wasn't enough. 

"Lizzie… I'll wait for you in the food court, okay? I'll just go sit down and have a milkshake or something. I'm tired."

Lizzie rolls her eyes. "You can say the truth, you want to go sit down and text Hope."

Josie blushes. "That- okay, yes that is exactly what I'm gonna do."

"You two spent three days together, wasn't that enough?"

Josie chuckles. "No, it wasn't. Meet me when you're done."

Without waiting for her twin's answer, Josie walks out of the store. As soon as she gets to the food court, Josie goes and orders a milkshake. An idea pops in her head.

"I'll take a a peanut butter blast, with whipped cream on the bottom please."

The guy behind the counter gives her a weird look, but he does as he's asked. Josie gets her milkshake and then she goes to sit at a table. She quickly snaps a picture of the milkshake before sending it to Hope.

To Hope :

I can't get a certain someone out of my head… So I ordered their favorite milkshake.

Josie smiles and hits send. She puts her phone on the table and then takes a sip of her milkshake. When someone pulls a chair at her table, Josie immediately looks up. She's surprised to see Dana Lilien sitting down in front of her with a smile.

"Hi Josie." 

"Dana… hi. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

Dana laughs a little. "Let's not pretend, okay? Before I say anything else, I want to tell you that nothing that will happen has anything to do with you. I actually happen to think that you're not that bad."

"Uh, thanks?" Josie says with a frown.

"Okay, now that that's done…" Dana gets her phone out of her jacket's pocket. "I found something really interesting online during the holidays. My friend told me about an app called "The Stand-in", I just thought it was ridiculous but I had to check it out. It really surprised me to see a familiar face in the candidates."

During her speech, Dana goes through her phone. As soon as she's done talking, she hands Josie the device. The brunette has been tense ever since Dana said the app's name, and sure enough when she gets Dana's phone, Josie sees her face staring right back at her.
