"You just tried to get me to go out on a date with your ex-husband," Brian stated.

Reba musters up the courage to tell him she didn't love him. "Okay Brian, look. I'm gonna be honest with you. I just didn't feel comfortable about what we said earlier. And I know that it's Valentine's Day and that we're under a lot of pressure to say what we said and that… You probably didn't mean it because I didn't mean it either."

"Of course I meant it."

"Well I'm sorry because I didn't. I mean… You said it first, what was I supposed to say?"

"How about thank you?"

"I had that!"

Brian sighs, gets off the couch and walks toward the door. "Reba, you shouldn't have said it unless you felt the same way."

"I know, but in my own defense I only said it once, after that it was excuse me and out!"

Brian turns towards the door, "Well, excuse me."

"Oh Brian, I don't want you to leave all upset."

"Okay, I'll leave happy." Then he turns the doorknob and walks away.

Four Years Later

"What's on the shopping list today?" Reba mumbles to herself while walking through the dairy section in the grocery store. "Eggs, Milk, Bread… Cheetos? I knew I shouldn't have let Jake write out the grocery list for me!" Reba picks up the milk and eggs, and checks them off her grocery list. "Now to get the bread." Reba turns the corner blindly, and rams right into another person's cart, causing a couple cans of beans to fall to the ground. "I'm so sorry; let me help you with that!"

"Oh that's okay, thanks."

Reba finally looks up at him, and instantly recognizes him. "Oh my gosh, Brian!"

"Reba! Hey!" Brian gives her a huge hug. "Wow, I haven't seen you in forever, you look great!"

"Thanks, you look pretty good yourself! How are you?"

"I'm doing pretty well. I'm finally out of the commercial business, now I film documentaries full-time."

"Oh wow, congratulations!"

"Thanks! How have you been?"

"Really good! Van and Cheyenne moved out and are expecting another baby, Kyra's in a band, and Jake is doing really well in school."

"Do you still work as a writer?" Brian asks sarcastically.

Reba smacks him on the arm. "Ha… Ha… No. I'm a realtor now, and am partners with Van." Reba reaches into her purse and grabs a business card, "Here's one of my handy business cards if you're ever interested."

"I'll be sure to consider you if I ever move."

They both stand there for a second, just smiling, remembering the good times. "Well, it was nice seeing you again, take care." Reba states as she starts to walk away.

"Wait! Can I see you again sometime?" Brian quickly asks.

Reba hesitates, thinking he wouldn't be interested in her anymore. "I'm free on Friday, if that works?"

"Friday's fine, what time?"

"How about somewhere around eight?"

"Eight is fine; I'll look forward to seeing you!"

"You too, see you then!"

"See you!"

Thoughts were running through her head at a million miles an hour. "Wow, he hasn't changed a bit! He still looks as handsome as ever! I can't believe he's still interested in me! What will I wear?" She thought to herself as she picked up a loaf of bread and dropped it into the shopping cart.
