I was hiding in the back office when I heard Zoe ask where I was. Within a few minutes Zoe was knocking on my door.

"Come in." Zoe walk in, looking like the world was out to get her. Well the town of Bluebell anyways.

"Hey." Zoe said as she sat down.

"Hi, what brings you by?" I replied. Since our little chat a few weeks ago Zoe and I have been working on our friendship. We both admitted that we like eachother and would like to be more than friends but till we become friends that won't work. What Zoe didn't know was I was going to ask her about that rain check and take her up to Mobile to have a nice dinner.

Well that was before the town of Bluebell found out about Lavon and Lemon and was making her pick a side. It was you were friends with Lavon (who was dating Lemon) or you were friends with George (who has been one of Zoe's only friends since moving to Bluebell and also her high school crush) and let's not mention the fact she works with Brick. I don't envy Zoe at all in this situation.

"I needed to go somewhere where I could get something done and no one would bother me. I can't do it at home, nor the office. So I was wondering if I could do some paper work here?" Zoe asked.

"Sure. I'll show you to the spare office. Follow me." I said as I was getting out of my chair and heading out of the current office.

"There's not much in it. I've been using it as a file storage for a while now. But the desk all clean and chair are comfy and no one will know you are here. As there are no windows for anyone to look in and out of." I said as I walked her into the office. There were boxes of files lining the walls on one side, and file cabinets on the other. But in the middle of the room there was a wooden desk with plenty of room for anyone to spread out files and get work done.

"Thanks Wade. I really owe you." Zoe replied while she was sitting down. It was the first time I saw her pile of patient files she had to get done. If she was lucky she would be done by morning. The sad part of this it was only three in the afternoon, on a Friday. Looks like the plans to Mobile are yet again on hold.

But before I could stop myself I started to ask her... "Hey Zoe. I was wondering if you had time this weekend, would you like to go up to Mobile and have that rain check with me?"

"Um, sure! Tell you what. Let's do it Sunday. By then I will need to have a break from this town and these folders." Zoe replied and for the first time in a long time I saw her smile. Not just on her lips, but the smile was back in her eyes.

"Sunday works. How about we head up there around nine, have brunch as see where the day takes us? Be back sometime around six. That way we can get rested for the week ahead of us." I rambled on.

"I can't wait!" was all Zoe said.

It had been over four hours since I showed Zoe the file room. Not a sound was coming from back there. I ran into Shelly as she was leaving and she said that she brought Zoe something to eat over 2 hours ago and Zoe didn't even know Shelly entered the room. So wither or not she has ate is a different story.

So when I popped my head in on the way out saying I need to lock up, what I found surprised me. Zoe was dead asleep, hunched over the desk with two piles beside her, one was smaller than the other. From what I could tell she was almost finished and couldn't keep up anymore so she collapsed on the desk to get some shut eye. She did eat the dinner Shelly brought in so I was more than willing to let my next joke about room charge go.

"Hey Doc. It's time to go home. I am sure your bed is a lot more comfy than this desk." I said shaking Zoe in order to wake her up.

"Hmm, okay. Just let me pack up these folders and we'll go." Zoe said as she started to pack them up. I could tell that the thought of moving them again was not high on her list.

"Tell you what. This office has a lock on the door and I am the only one with the keys. So leave them here and you can come in tomorrow and finish them. And then I'll even give you a box to take them back to your office with. How does that sound?" I told her.

"That is your third best offer of the day." Zoe said grabbing her purse and leaving the office so I could lock it.

"Third? What was the first and second?" I asked.

"First was letting me use the file room, and the second was asking me out. But on second thought the first was asking me out for Sunday and the second was letting me use the file room." Zoe said as she put her arm around my waist while we walked out of the Rammer Jammer.

"Huh, well in that case, I should stop while I am ahead." I joked as I locked the Rammer Jammer's front doors. Then I put my arm across her shoulders when she put her arm back around my waist. And for the first time in my since I learnt how to drive, I wished my car was parked further away.

"Smart thinking. I wish your car was parked farther away. It's a nice night for a walk." Zoe said when we finally got to my car.

"Tell you what. When we get home, change your heels for some kind of walking shoe and we'll go for a walk around the plantation." I said when we were all buckled in and on our way to the plantation.

"Fourth best offer of the day. But First best offer of the night." Zoe said as she couldn't hide her smile.


Next up the walk through the Platation
