Thanks to everyone who reviewed! They made my day!

I realized the other day that I haven't had a disclaimer yet...

The incredible story of the Gallagher Girls belongs to Ally Carter. I own nothing.

"I'm Leo," he stuck out his hand for me to shake. I grabbed it lightly, and smiled.

"Megan, but you can call me Meg," I told him, looking around his booth again. He then casually walked over to his little table, where his newspaper was and leaded against it, crossing his arms.

"So Meg, what brings you here?"

I shifted my attention from a wooden chair to Leo.

"I could ask you the same question," I turned back to the chair.

"It's a long story," he sighed. He seemed uneasy about it. That confused me, because he was careless and confident just a moment before.

"I have time," I said as I sat down in the chair and focused all my attention on him.

"How about I tell you about it over dinner?" he asked me.

"Are you kidding?" I spat out quickly. I then cursed myself for being rude and looked at him apologetically. He looked confused.

"You aren't dating somebody are you?" he questioned. Then it happened again. That little ping in my heart. It struck me harder each time. My mind then pictured somebody else standing where Leo was. His green eyes just stared at me sadly. I instantly felt guilty, but I mentally shook myself. Why should you care? I asked myself. You will never see him again! Quit remembering him! He has probably moved on! My stupid brain pictured him again and I could barely contain the tears that were begging to fall. But before I knew it he was gone, to the back of my mind and I was left with the resulting feeling of pity and regret.

I entered reality again and looked at Leo. He still looked confused. Poor guy. I hate myself so much that I am confusing innocent people. Standing up, I managed to choke out a "no".

He slowly walked over to me with his hands in his pockets, easily maneuvering through the maze of furniture.

"Did you date somebody?"

I looked up and he was right next to me. It was a little too close for comfort for Cammie, but Meg was fine.

I looked into his eyes and felt an urging to tell this stranger my whole life story. From the beginning. The truth.

"Yes, a year ago," I lied, still looking at him. I wondered if my pupils dilated, but that wasn't the main thing on my mind at the moment.

"I'm sorry," he took a slight step back. "He must not have been a smart guy if he let you go."

The fact that he sounded so sincere about it made me believe every single bit. I then grabbed my purse off of the ground and started to walk out. Cammie absolutely did not want to go out with this guy, but Megan saw it as a great opportunity to meet somebody new, since you know, she was in a relationship with somebody a year ago. Cammie wanted to stay isolated and alone, especially after getting that mysterious package, but Megan wanted to go out and be wild, which gave Cammie a perfect chance to take her mind off her past life…my past life.

It took every once of my being to decide. Leo stayed put as I turned and said,

"Meet me at the dock at seven tonight and I will tell you all about it."

I saw him as I walked down the hill. Cammie was yelling to go back to the house, but Meg was yelling faster. Once I reached Leo he was just staring at me. Confused I looked around.

"You know, it's not rude to stare," I chuckled, clutching my purse to my shoulder.

A light smile appeared on his face. "I thought you would be a no-show."

"I don't blow people off," I told him. He nodded and we headed down the dock, past all the little fishing boats. Once we got to the edge where we had a clear view of the sunset, I took off my sandals and rolled up my jeans. Dangling my feet over the edge, with my toes just barely touching the water, I urged Leo to sit with me. He grinned and did the same. After exactly 4 minutes and 45 seconds of silence I finally spoke up.

"So you want to hear my break up story?" I turned and looked at him, noticing how the sun hit his face in all the right places. It made him look tan and made his deep blue eyes even deeper.

"Not if you don't want to tell me," he looked at me too and smiled. Meg blushed and looked away. Cammie's heart hurt.

"I will give you the shortened version, how bout that?" Meg had a slight southern accent, Cammie didn't.

"Sounds like a plan to me," he glanced out to the horizon while I looked at my feet just barely touching the small waves.

"His name was Danny and he dumped me right before I moved here. Actually he broke up with me before I left. I asked him to come with me, but he didn't want to," I lied. Megan looked sad, but Cammie didn't feel anything.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, almost too soft for me to hear. But Cammie is a spy, she heard it all.

"Thanks," I answered, almost as soft as him.

"So where are you from?" he asked after another minute and 54 seconds of silence.

"Texas," I answered. "What about you?"

"Colorado," he stated.

"So what brought you here?" I questioned.

"To be honest, I have no idea."
