Melanie decided to break the news to Abby while at the mall. Maybe she wouldn't be as mad after a shopping spree. 'It does tend to cheer her up when she was upset about something so maybe it will also keep her from killing me,' she thought as she dialled her friends number.

"Hey Abby you wanna hit the mall today?"

"Sure sounds good."

"I'll pick you up in a few."

"Alright see ya."

They took a seat in the food court placing their arm full of bags on the floor, "I spent way too much money today." Abby said with a laugh.

"You always say that."

"And it's always true. I come in for one thing and end up with tons but not the thing I came for."

As Abby went to get their food Melanie wondered how her friend was going to react, she expected her to be angry but hoped that she would at least agree to meet the guy. He seemed like he would be great for her. "Here you go," Abby said placing the tray on the table in front of them.

"Thanks."

"What's up with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you've been lost in thought all day."

"Yeah um... I have something I need to tell you and I'm hoping you won't be mad."

Abby put down her smoothie, "Oh god Mel what'd you do?"

"Uh... well I sorta signed you up for that dating site I told you about."

"What?! Melanie I told you I didn't want to."

"I know but I thought if I signed you up and found the perfect guy for you, there was no way you could be mad at me."

"The perfect guy? You really think it's possible to meet the perfect guy online. There's crazy people online, you never know who your talking to and besides doesn't it make me seem a little pathetic if that's how I have to meet someone?"

"No sweetie tons of people meet online these days and not everyone is crazy. I met this great guy on there and..."

"Mel I am not meeting him."

"Come on just give it a shot. Look I can show you the profile on my phone," Melanie said opening the page and handing it over to Abby. "Isn't he hot."

"How do you even know that, that's what he really looks like."

"Well you meet him in person and see if you like him."

"What if he's a crazy person."

"Chad and I will be with you and we'll be in a public place, what have you got to lose."

"No, I don't think so."

"Or we could always sneak a peek at him, he works at the hospital."

"He's a doctor?"

"Yeah. I talked to him earlier he's a doctor, just moved to Salem to be near his sister and he thinks your beautiful."

"You put a picture on my profile?" Abby asked with a sigh.

"Yeah you'll get more messages that way. Oh and you'll never guess who his sister is."

"Who?"

"Lexie."

"I didn't know Lexie had a brother." She asked as they finished their food.

"Look here's the password," she said as she grabbed a piece of paper out of her purse and wrote it down. "Why don't you check him out and chat with him tonight see if you like him."

"I don't want to check it out Mel."

"Come on just take it in case you change your mind," She said handing it back to her.

"I'm not gonna change my mind but I'll take it to make you happy," she said as they picked up their bags and headed out to the parking lot.
