Chapter 1: Chloe's Chapter Chloe Lane had slept late this morning because ahe had been dreaming. She had realized just how much Brady Black meant to her, and she wasn't going to wait to tell him. The dream had been triggered by a comment Brady made in passing, which had also made her think and realize that he cared for her, too. Now she wanted to find out for sure. She quickly got out of bed and took her morning shower, not bothering to blow dry her hair. It was raining outside anyway. She then spent just a little bit of time making sure she didn't just pick the first thing she saw to wear out of her closet. On her way out she grabbed to favorite animal-free leather jacket which she secretly knew Brady. appreciated. She was presently in the car driving, illegally, to his house. Nancy had so far delayed taking Chloe to get her license, but this was too important to wake up her mother to drag her along, so she had just left a note saying she would be gone for the day with Brady. Hopefully, they would assume he would be in the car with her. On the way there, she passed John Black and Marlena Evans, who were heading away from Brady's apartment. And as she passed Salem Place, she noticed Belle happily kissing Shawn. "Oh good," she thought "he won't be having any other visitors. I'll finally be able to tell him how I feel." "Okay, girl, settle down." She told herself. "It's only Brady, your best friend. Nothing's changed, really." "I am calm, cool, and collected." She said to herself out loud as she walked into the empty elevator leading up to Brady's apartment. She would find out her fate, good or bad, soon enough.
