As her last picture frame was set up Joey looked around her new apartment, satisfied with her work. She was finally in her own house. No roommates and no keg parties across the hall. Joey was relived to be out of the dorm and on her own. Things just hadn't been the same since Audrey dropped out of collage, stopped talking to Joey, and moved back to California. As Joey was reminiscing about the time she and Audrey had accidentally threw water balloons at Proffser Wilder the phone rang startling her. "Hello?" "Hey there! A familiar voice said. "Pace?!" "That would be correct! Pacey answered. I swear Potter nothing gets by you. So, Jack said you just got a new place. Congratulations!" "Thanks, Pace, but to tell you the truth I didn't think that I would be hearing from you. I mean we haven't talked in over a year." Joey said. "Well I got the sudden urge to see how my sailing buddy was doing so I decided to give you a holler." Joey listened to every word Pacey said knowing where he was about to say. "So, uh, Potter." Pacey said somewhat nervously. "So, uh, Witter." Joey said mockingly after Pacey searched for the right words to say to her. He laughed nervously and said, "I was thinking about stopping by later if that's alright with you, you know to catch up." "That would be great!" Joey said. They were only on the phone for a few more minutes. It was just enough time for them to make plans and for Pacey to get directions. They were going to meet at seven o'clock at Joey's apartment to watch movies and hang out. Joey watched TV for a little while and at six-thirty she got ready. She didn't know why but she was nervous about seeing Pacey. At exactly seven' o clock there was a knock on her door and when she went to answer it she walked past a mirror and stopped to check to make sure she looked ok. Joey had no idea why she was fixing herself up for Pacey. She wasn't in love with him anymore; well at least she didn't think so. He knocked again and she finally answered the door. "Hey." She said shyly. "Hi, Joe." Pacey said handing Joey a bouquet of flowers. "Thank-you Pacey! Why don't you com-" The words "come in" didn't even leave her mouth before she realized he had stepped closer to her and as their eyes met so did their lips, for the first time in over three years.
