Bryan Endicott POV

She still looked exactly as I remembered. 
Chocolate brown eyes that made me think of bounty candies and dairy milk treats. 
She looked older...matured..
She looked different..what happened after I left?
"So tell me what brings you back to this God forsaken town? "
I chuckled.  "I would be nicer to talk sitting on a comfy chair relaxed, don't you think? " she looked flushed and embarrassed.
"Where are my manners. Come in, come in.." I could tell she was nervous.  I didn't spend all that time in the agency for nothing just so you know.
Her eyes darted from the kitchen to the stairs. "Wa..s someone here...co I could leave if you need privacy." she shook her head smiling.  "Nonsense. My Mom will never forgive me if I refused to let you in, God bless her soul. " she said solemnly.
"Yeahh, I heard about how she..." she frowned and walked to the kitchen clearly not in the mood to talk about her mom's death. "Right...sorry. How are you? "

That lovely smile returned to her face. "Am fine, things haven't really changed much around here well except for the killer. "
She offered me a glass of juice which I kindly accepted. "Don't worry we'll get to the bottom of this. "
"We? " she cocked an eyebrow sitting down infront of me.
"My brother and I. You remember him right...Kyle? " recognition flashed in her eyes.
"Ohhh...I remember him, he was the one dating that fair girl.." she said. 
"Who? " she looked at me weird. "What? "
"Kyle is your brother and you don't know the girl he dated..Becca. The one with the sassy attitude and all that shit. "
To say I was taken aback would be a very big understatement. "Enough about my brother, tell what you've been up to lately. You know any boyfriend yet? Or a crush....what am I saying you're a girl of course you have a crush so tell me who the lucky person is."
"I don't think I should. " she said placing with her fingers.
"Why? I won't tell and beside I may not even know him. So tell me." she bit her lip. "Nah. Let's shift from that , yes? "
"Sure. "
"So you remember my question about the reason you came back...you're answer was quite vague do expansiate."
"Oh about that? Well Immediately I left, I went to this school where I studied engineering and computers...anything computer am your guy. Then my brother got me this spot at the agency so I've been working there for like...3 years now. Pretty neat right? "
She giggled. "Yep am impressed, good  to know you're enjoying life Endicott.  "
I laughed.  " MY old man's at home. "
"How is he? " I emptied my glass and dropped it on the center table. "He's as strong as a horse. He's okay. " she hummed looking else where that was when I saw the hand print on her neck.
"Who did that? " I asked hoping she'd confide in me but imstead she asked. "Did what? " she was trying to act dumb like she didn't know what I was talking about. "That?!" I answered watching her demeanor. 
"Oh this? " she said nervously rubbing her neck. "Its nothing. "
"Paige...are you in some kind of trouble? Am here for you all you just have to do is talk to me. "
"Why would you think am in any  kind of trouble? " she asked rubbing her laps.

Tough cookie. 

"Paige."
"It's nothing really. Don't worry about it. Where's Lulu and Zachy anyway? "
"They asked me to come instead I don't know why but I don't mind. Do you? "
"No. Should I? "
I shook my head. "Still cocky I see, I like it. "
She scoffed and grabbed the glass heading to the kitchen and I followed. "Do you have a girlfriend? "
I smirked. "Why? You jealous Ellison? "
She laughed as she wiped the glass then dropped it in the rack. "And you are still arrogant. " she said flatly.
"Well that wasn't what you told me the day I was leaving.  " she folded her arms. "I was just emotional and I was still a kid. "
"Keep believing it I said looking around. 
"But its the truth. I was how old...I guess 13 or 14. So you can't hold that against me,it's not like what I said that day meant anything to you because you still left. " she said angrily.
"I'm sorry. " I whispered knowing she deserved to know that I felt bad about what I did.
She smiled softly.  "I know. " making me smile. 

I leaned against the counter and touched her hand.  "Am not ready for that again Bryan. "
I deserved that. 
I might have apologized doesn't mean she forgave me. "Paige..."
She withdrew her hand from underneath mine.
"I think it's time for you to leave.  "
"Ok. I'll leave but when you're ready to become matured enough to hear me out, You let me know. " I said walking away.
I opened the door and expected her to say something.  To ask me to explain myself but she didn't so I banged the door behind me not even bothering to know if it closed. I just entered my car and drove off.

Why do you think Paige reacted that way to a situation that was friendly and teasing like with no sense of insult attached to it ?🙎
What could their history have been?
Lulu did say he looked at her in Elementary but could it be that they knew each other way back?
