This is about when Eddie's ex girlfriend from high school comes back to the Ridge for a visit. Since we don't know her name yet, I just kept the actress's name who is going to play her Stacy Keibler because when I was trying to think of a name that fit her description, I couldn't get past "Stacy." If reminds me of a Barbie doll type girl and Stacy Keibler looks like Barbie! Hope you like it!!

"I can't believe it… a Best Friend Windows actually exists! With Nick's book bashing everyone in the Ridge, well I didn't even think you would speak to him again let alone be his business partner." Stacy started looking around the room when Eddie got up from his desk and walked over to her.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had a new life in the city, and now that your family doesn't live in the Ridge anymore… why are you here?"

"That's the kind of hello I get? I thought you'd be happy to see me…" She went to go kiss him on the cheek but he pulled away.

"You can't just walk in here like you own the place, or me for that matter!" Stacy was sort of shocked; she knew Eddie would be a little different since the last time she saw him 10 years ago, but something else changed about him.

"I'm sorry, I must be in the wrong place. I'm looking for Eddie Latekka, Knights Ridge famous football star who I fell in love with 10 years ago…"

"That Eddie Latekka doesn't exist anymore."

"I see. Well then, we should go out again and catch up. How about tonight, say 7:00?"

"I got plans tonight. Look, it was nice seeing ya again Stacy, but I'm working now."

"Yeah, ok. Sorry… I just thought we could talk. "

"Maybe some other time."

Eddie started to turn around but Stacy abruptly blurted out, "I got divorced. When I moved to the city to pursue my modeling career, I met this great businessman. We got married and I didn't need to work anymore because well, we made enough money for the both of us; I became his trophy wife. My name wasn't out there anymore, we slowly got distant and then I found out he was cheating on me, with another man. So, I got a divorce and found myself alone. Very alone. I started thinking when was the last time I was truly happy… and that was living here in the Ridge. Being with you. We had some great times!"

"Yeah… we really did." Eddie was standing there in front of the first girl he fell in love with, who broke his heart when she left, and yet he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She was trying to reach out to him again but knew what would happen if he reached out too. "Look Stacy, if you need anything you know I'm here and I'm sorry if I was an ass just now, it's just, I wasn't expecting you to come back. Ever. I mean do you know how much you hurt me? I know it was a long time ago and I'm really over it, over you, but I can't help and be a little defensive of myself."

"I know. I just hoped we could forget how things ended and become friends again. So what do you say, wanna hang tonight?"

"I told you I can't. Already got plans."

"Right. Maybe another time!"

"How long you plan on stayin?"

"I don't know, as long as it takes." She chuckled a little and smiled at Eddie.

"For what?"

"For you to want me again…" As she started to walk closer to him, Eddie realized what exactly she was trying to do. He threw his hands up so she wouldn't come any closer.

"Look Stacy, I can't do this. I don't love you anymore. That was a really, really long time ago! I'm not even sure what we had was real back then anyway."

"What do you mean it wasn't real?!"

"I mean we were like 16 when we started dating. We might have thought we were in love but it wasn't true love. We loved each other as friends."

"Why do you say that?" Stacy got just a little offended after he said that.

"Come on, you were married… you know what love is now."

"And obviously it wasn't true love. Wait a minute, how do you know what true love is?!"

"Because I have it. Right now."

"You're seeing someone? I mean I figured you probably were going out with someone considering your past, but you're like really seeing someone? Who? Do I know her?"

"You remember Janet Meadows?"

Stacy paused and thought a second about Eddie's new love interest. "From high school? Wow, you really have changed. And you're in love with her?"

"Yes. I'm in love with Janet. What?" She had a startled yet smirky look on her face. Eddie got all defensive again, "What. Surprised?"

"You could say that."

"Why? Because we're goin out or because how I feel about her?"

"Both I guess."

"Well if you don't have anything else to say, I guess you should be leaving."

"Ok, well I still hope we can hang out soon. I'd still like to catch up on the past 10 years. Call me sometime, we could meet at Sully's." Stacy wrote down her number on a post-it note on his desk.

"I don't think so. Janet works there. And besides, there really isn't much to catch up on. You just told me what happened to you, and as you can see, I've moved on with my life in more ways than one." Eddie's tone changed than before. Instead of being defensive about the whole thing, he was proud now. And felt good about himself. For the first time, he knew where he wanted his life to go. No more running around in circles, doing one crappy landscaping job after another. He had a good business with his best friend, and found the perfect girl to share his life with, hopefully forever. He knew exactly what he had to do. "Excuse me, but if you don't mind I have some place I need to be right now. Goodbye Stacy."

Eddie took the piece of paper she wrote her number on, wrinkled it up and put it in the garbage can. He grabbed his keys and pushed Stacy out of the door, closed it behind him, waved goodbye to her one last time, and headed for Janet's.
