Spencer exited her office and walked into the parking lot to retrieve her car. Just as she was about to pull out of the lot her phone rang Aria

"Hey" Spencer answered

"Please tell me you're going on this date," Aria begged

Spencer laughed "I told you over and over, I don't do blind dates."

"But this guy is a total catch. He is an anesthesiologist, he owns a house in Aspen and he is sweet"

"Wow, you should date him" Spencer joked "Look I'm not ready to date anyone just yet"

Aria let out a sigh "Just please think about it."

"I have," Spencer said pulling up to a pre-school center "And my answer is no"

Aria hung up the phone while Spencer exited her car.


"Kaia, look its mommy" the pre-school volunteer called out. The little girl turned her head to her mom. Spencer s eyes lit up when she saw her daughter, besides having green eyes, given to her by her dad- she was a spitting image of Spencer. Spencer walked over to her daughter but was stopped by Kaia s teacher Amy.

"Hey Spencer, how are you?" Amy greeted

"I'm well" Spencer replied. Amy motioned for Spencer to follow her to the daily behavior chart. Spencer began looking at the chart and saw Kaia's name in the red square. Kaia walked over to her mom "Mama look she held up a picture I drew a dinosaur eating a lion."

"Why are you on red?"Spencer asked

Kaia was quiet, "She scratched another girl over a toy" Amy spoke up

Spencer gave Kaia a stern look. Kaia acted as if her mother wasn't there and walked away. Spencer turned to Amy "I am so sorry, she's like this today"

Amy shook her head "Dont worry about it, I know she has a hard time adjusting back to her routines whenever she spends the weekend with her father." Spencer smiled sadly, while Kaia loved being at her dad's house there was absolutely no structure or any type of rules. He would let the child do whatever she wanted.

"I will sit her down and reinforce the keep your hands to yourself rule," Spencer said walking back to the sand table where her daughter was playing. "Kaia go get your coat," Spencer asked

"No" the toddler replied.

"Kaia, now" Spencer scolded. Kaia still had yet to move "Kaia James, I'm going to count to three."

Kaia crossed her arms

"1" Spencer said

"Nope" Kaia repeated

"2" Spencer said in a warning tone

"NO" Kaia screamed at the top of her lungs, then quickly covered her mouth."3" Spencer asserted, placing Kaia on her hip and grabbing her jacket. The pair walked out of the pre-school and toward Spencer's car. Spencer attempted to secure Kaia in her car seat but the little girl kept squirming and screaming I WANT MY DADDY! Spencer entered her car and after a while of driving Kaia calmed down.


Spencer's fuel gauge began to blink as she pulled into the local gas station. Spencer helped Kaia out of the car and guided her into the mini-mart. Kaia ran down the aisle and grabbed apple juice and a pack of chips.

"Please mommy?" she asked, giving Spencer puppy dog eyes. Spencer rolled her eyes and smiled. Only if you promise to share Spencer said placing the items on the counter.

"$20 on 3" she reminded the clerk, handing her $30. Spencer retrieved her change and helped Kaia back into her car. She was inserting the gas nozzle when she felt like someone was watching her, she turned her head to the side and something - or someone caught her attention. He was standing in the same position as her and just watched her. Spencer didn't t know whether to be weirded out or pretend as if she didn't t notice. She smiled when their eyes met. He had the prettiest eyes she'd ever seen like the ocean Spencer thought to herself.

The sound of Kaia s voice broke Spencer out of her thoughts "mama, are you almost done? I think we need to put food in my tummy"

The blue-eyed stranger giggled at the little girl and then nodded at Spencer. She nodded her head and got into her car "yeah,let's go home"

The blue-eyed stranger watched her pull out of the gas station. Who is she? He wondered
