Hey, guys thanks for reviewing! It keeps me writing! BTW does any one know for sure how much older Esteban is than Maddie? Thanks!

Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you.
After all this time, you're still with me it's true.
Some how you remain locked so deep inside.
Baby, baby, oh baby,
Not a day goes by.

Esteban had just finished talking to Patrick, the Tipton's old Head Waiter. Patrick was telling him all about his new law firm that he had just opened. Apparently business had been so good that he 'wished there were more Patricks to go around.'

Esteban smiled as he walked over to the huge tree in the middle of the park. He remembered when the city had wanted to tear the tree, and the whole park down in order to make a new parking lot.

To everyone's surprise, Zack had been the one to realize that the historical Boston Tea Party had been planned under the very tree he now stood.

Zack, Cody, their mother, and Maddie had all sat under the tree to protest. They not only saved the tree, but they also saved the whole park.

Esteban smiled again, and fingered his soul patch. Thinking seriously about getting a Dr. Pepper, he scanned the park for the soda stand.

"So, Esteban, tell us again what exactly you do?" chorused two twin girls that had been maids at the Tipton.

Esteban suppressed a groan. These two had been at him ever since he had arrived. Batting their eyes, flattering him at every opportunity, and laughing at every thing he said like it was some extremely witty comment.

Trying hard to be polite, he stopped looking for the soda stand and smiled at them. But, before he could tell them what 'exactly' he did for the fourth time, the taller girl interrupted.

"Well, he probably could afford to hire some one to tell us couldn't he?" she simpered.

The shorter one let out a shrill giggle.

"But he wouldn't do that, now would you?' the tall girl whined, as she turned back to Esteban, and grabbed his arm.

Esteban just flashed a quick smile at her in response, as she went on.

He had spotted the soda stand.

If only he could act like he saw some he need to talk to, he could break away from the two girls. No one was by the soda stand except for one timid looking, blonde woman. Maybe he could act-

Esteban did a double take. That blonde woman standing next to soda stand, clinging to a can of Pepsi like it was a lifeline, was Maddie!

Except this Maddie was, well she didn't look like Maddie. Maybe it was just the absence of multicolored tube socks, and a tie, but she seemed so much older.

He hadn't seen her for seven years. That meant she was twenty-five. She certainly looked it, standing there in a pair of tan Capri's and a pretty short-sleeved, powder blue shirt.

As he was watching her, she looked up and right at him. Before he could do as much as smile at her, she quickly looked away.

Esteban felt like some one had just slugged him in the gut. Why was she ignoring him? He knew that she had seen him. Why did she turn away like that? Almost as if she was embarrassed that he might come over there.
