Chloe was sitting on the couch in the living room of the Chancellor mansion eating a tub of ice cream when Chance walked in.

"Hey Chloe" He said and then he noticed she looked upset. "Are- are you okay"?

"Oh yeah, never better". Chloe said sarcastically as she shoved another spoon of chocolate mint ice-cream in her mouth.

"For some reason I'm having a hard time believing you". Chance said as he sat down next to her.

"Really? Whatever gave you that idea? Is it because of how pathetic I look or is it just because of my past with lying?"

"I'm sorry. I'm guessing this is about Billy."

"Then you guessed right soldier." Chloe said matter of factly.

"What did he do this time?"

"Its not what he did. Its what I did—what I do over and over just because I think he loves me or because I think he will love me. Whatever the reason was; I am done. I'm done making excuses as to why he's not here, I'm done making things up when I wonder where he always is when he's not at work because now I really know the answer."

"Mac." Chance stated.

"Is it that obvious to everyone else but me? Because I must be blind or just plain stupid—"

Chance cut her off.

"No, you're not stupid. You're in love. In love with the wrong guy might I add. Whatever Billy and Mac are doing now—who cares? You deserve someone who will treat you right and be there for you, be your rock. Someone who will take care or you all the time, not just when its convent for them."

Chloe stared at time unsure of what to say.

"What?" Chance asked.

"I don't know. The way you said that; Seems like you truly meant it."

"I did" Chance said with a small laugh.

Chloe stared at him again forming her words.

"I'm sorry, its just—it feels like that may be the nicest things someone's said to me since I came to Genoa City and I'm not sure where to place that exactly.

"Well while you're sorting that out why don't I take you out to dinner? Get your mind off things." Chance suggested.

"Oh, I don't think so. I don't think I'd be very good company right now".

"Hey, I'm not gonna take no for an answer. So go upstairs, get dressed; do whatever it is that you girls do and meet me down here in 15 minutes.

Chloe continued to stare at him like she was trying to figure him out.

"Okay, fine. But give me 20." Chloe said as she hopped off the couch and ran upstairs.
