Of all the people she expected to run into tonight, it wasn't him. But, it had happened none the less.

She stopped into the club just to use the ladies' room and it was an expensive go because of the cover charge but nature was calling loudly.

She shifted through the crowd and felt as if her toes had targets on them as much as they were being stepped on.

She was shoved into a man at the bar. Tall and had a familiar scent that reminded her of some unknown happiness.

"Hey! Are you alright?"

She blinked up at him and suddenly it clicked into place.

"Raini?!"

"Calum?"

"Oh my God. " He scooped her up into a hug that crushed her airway.

She caught her breath and looked at him for a moment. He was 28 now. Age had done him well. He was just handsome. No two ways about it. He wore a familiar grin and his customary cardigan. She could also tell that he had one too many at the bar.

He led her to the side where they didn't have to shout.

"How have you been? What are you doing these days?"

Raini had not seen him in three years. Austin and Ally had three incredible seasons. They had loved it so much. After that, she took a stab at the theater. Live performances agreed with her. She had taken a few courses hoping to get into a good film school. She had taught acting classes to some children age 6-11. She even got to direct some episodes of some Disney shows. All was going pretty well. She kept busy and working. No child star pitfalls

She told him all this and her mind reeled with memories. They decided to give it a go when the tension almost broke them. They dated through the end of the series and about six months after. They remained friends and spoke with less frequency until they didn't anymore. She had seen reports in the tabloid of the starlets he had dated. She got queasy every time.

Not that she hadn't dated, she had seen a couple of actors, hometown boys and even Garron for a while. Right now, she was between relationships. She was actually happy alone. No one to answer to or fight with but sometimes it was boring.

He listened to her but she could see him swaying as he stood.

"Do you need to sit down?"

"Probably be better if I lay down. I was about to call a cab when I ran into you. Want to share one?"

"Actually, I drove."

"Can I bum a lift?"

"Sure."

"I'll pay my tab and meet you out front."

He slid in her passenger seat and starting talking as she pulled into traffic.

"Are you gonna tell me directions?"

"You don't remember the way?"

"I do. I just thought you would have moved."

"What for? It's just me and I like to keep things simple."

She drove the familiar route without even thinking. They laughed and talked all the way there. About old times, Ross, Laura and their Disney family.

She stopped the car in front of his place. He moved to open the door.

"Are you coming up?"

"Oh, well.."

"I didn't mean to assume. Just thought you might like some coffee." He grinned

"Coffee with Calum. Seems like a sin not to."

They sat on the couch with the coffee untouched. Calum told her about his life after Disney. She knew, of course, but she let him talk. Bit parts, character roles, voice over work and finally, the second leading man in a few buddy pictures. He mentioned taking a few courses for towards film school as well. They had always shared that goal.

It was 4:14am according to her phone. Her eyes fell half closed and she was drowsy. Calum was becoming slower to speak as well. She felt as if she had been slapped awake at his next statement.

"So, are you seeing anyone?"

"Not right now. You?"

"Tonight, you caught me at a very vulnerable time. I just found out my now ex-girlfriend has a boyfriend number two. Someone that takes her partying and on all sorts of other wild adventures. I am too much of a homebody but I paid the bills and bought the new shoes."

"Calum, I'm so sorry."

"I did let her move in with me after two weeks of dating. I should have seen it coming I suppose. At first, she thought it was sweet that I tried not to be pretentious. Then, after I started getting more famous I guess she thought I would change but I didn't. She got bored."

"Calum! Don't blame yourself. She was clearly a very superficial girl who only wanted your name and not you."

"Well, anyway, I am getting tired. Do you want to stay over?"

She took a deep breath to say who knows what and he broke into her thoughts midstream.

"I will sleep on my couch and you can have the bed. Scouts honor. Although, I never was a girl scout. They wouldn't let me in for some reason."

Raini giggled. "Okay, I am tired. Its been a long day."

"Want a shirt and some of my boxers to sleep in?"

"Ewww. Your underwear?"

"Really, Raini? I would think that would be a level of intimacy you were comfortable with." He gave her a meaningful glance and she blushed.

Their very last night together reverberated in her mind. He had been so patient and she wanted to give him something special to remember her by. It had been the most special gift she had ever given and she didn't regret it even after they lost touch.

He changed in the bathroom while she changed in the bedroom. Her hands were shaking.

How does he still effect me like this?

He emerged from the bathroom and knocked on the bedroom door. She opened it a crack not sure of his intentions.

"Goodnight, Raindrop. Did I ever call you that before? If not, I totally should have. You know, I am glad you were here with me tonight. It would have been a hard night without you. It's the second worst heart-break I ever had."

"Who was the first?"

He reached over and smoothed a fly away hair down as if he had never stopped.

"Goodnight, Raini"
