Brooke touched the her lips as though the sensation was still there, the slight sting of sparks and fireworks that was brought about by Lucas' goodbye kiss last night. It was nothing more than a friendly peck, but just the feel of his breath crashing against hers even for a mere second was something she could never truly explain. It was something that she only felt with Lucas.

Haley snapped her fingers in front of Brooke who was spacing out while manning the counters, "Hello? Earth to Brooke?" she waved her hand in front of her friend's face.

"Yeah, what?" Brooke snapped out of her daze and faced Haley.

"You've been standing there like a lunatic staring out into nothing for quite some time now, is there something you'd like to tell me?" she asked, half-concerned, mostly intrigued. Whenever Brooke was this way, there was usually something juicy that came along with it.

Brooke smiled, "I guess I just miss Julian so much." she lied. Immediately after that alibi came out of her mouth, her smile turned into a frown. Why was she thinking of Lucas that way? She should be thinking of her husband who loves her and only her, deeply, passionately.

"Okay then." Haley replied in order to avoid any drama. Brooke returned to her chores in the cafe, and then Haley remembered something she had to tell her best friend, "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, Lucas will be stopping by here. I have a surprise." she winked.

Brooke's eyes widened. They really didn't talk about the kiss. It was a harmless kiss. It was just a good night kiss. It didn't seem that much to him, it shouldn't to her either. Oh no. Lucas was going to see her that early looking that wasted already. She tried fixing her hair and her apron a little, but then the bell jingled to signal that someone had entered the cafe. She looked up to see who she knew would come through those doors.

"Hey." he smiled.

"Hey." Brooke kind of gushed a little as Haley nudged her rib.

Lucas chuckled. "She's been like that the whole day." Haley explained.

"It's cool." Lucas said, "You rang?" he asked Haley.

Haley couldn't hide her excitement from her two closest friends in the world. Her smile reached both ends of her face. "Okay guys, I promised Nathan I wouldn't tell you guys until we had a venue, but..." Haley looked at both of them as though waiting for a drumroll, "We're having our vows renewed!" she yelled out.

"Oh Haley, congratulations!" Brooke said as she wrapped her in her arms, "You guys have been together for what, ten years?!"

"Yeah." Haley giggled a little, "So we thought that it would be an appropriate way of celebrating our marriage, especially now Lucas is here." Haley looked at her best friend. Oh how long it has been since her first wedding reception that was made possible by Lucas, and the second that he had a great contribution to as well. "We'd really love Sawyer to be a flower girl along with Lydia." then she turned to Brooke, the unlikely friend who's been there for her for years, "and Jude and Davis to be bearers..." Haley clasped all of their hands together, "But most importantly... we'd like you to assume the roles you had before as well..."

Lucas looked up at Brooke and remembered their big fight that day of Nathan and Haley's second wedding, how the tears fled her eyes, how the pain escaped her soul.

Brooke was staring back at Lucas, remembering the same fight he was thinking about, how they shared their last dance that day, their last real kiss as a couple before things broke apart.

Haley turned back to Brooke, "Would you be my Maid of Honor?" she asked hopefully.

Brooke slapped back into reality, "Of course I would!" she exclaimed, almost off guard.

Haley faces Lucas, "Nathan's best man?" she asked.

Lucas gave Haley a faint smile, "How could I say no?"

"Yeay!" Haley pulled the three of them into a hug. "You're the best friends in the world!"

Lucas broke away from the embrace, massaged his temples a little, "Uhm, I have to be somewhere, but, hum, I'll call you later." he excused himself and ran out the door.

Brooke stared as he walked away. Haley stared along with her, then looked at Brooke, then back at Lucas, "I'll go talk to him..." she said
