Brenda shut her phone after listening to Carly's message. She walked into Robin's spare room and quickly repacked the few things she had removed this morning. She called out, "Robin?"
"Yeah Brenda?" the petite brunette asked as she walked into the room. "Where are you going?"
"The MetroCourt. I got one of the penthouses there, and since I don't know how long I'm going to be staying, I can get out of your way."
"You're not in the way Brenda. Plus, you do know that's Carly's hotel," Robin teased, knowing the strained relationship between the two women.
Brenda laughed. "Yeah, but I think we'll be okay now. It was always about Sonny you know? And she's not with Sonny, she's with Jax…which is weird, I'll admit, but if they're happy, then more power to them."
Robin looked Brenda in the eye, a serious expression on her face. "Does this mean you're going to try and get back together with Sonny?"
Brenda's hands stopped folding her clothes for a moment and she looked up at Robin. "I…I don't know Robin…I mean, there's so much history there, and it just has never worked out. But I can't deny that I have feelings for him. I probably always will. But I just can't say right now."
Robin thought on this for a moment. "Well, you know, maybe it just wasn't the right time then. You never know, it might end up working out, but please be careful no matter what you do. And you better stay away from Jax, that's for sure!"
The two women laughed, and Brenda zipped her suitcase shut. Sighing, she set it on the floor, and sat next to Robin on the bed. "You ever think about how different it could have been if Stone had lived…and Sonny and I had made it work?"
Robin's eyes glistened. "All the time. But that's the past. No point in focusing on it. I will always have the memories of Stone in my heart."
"What about you and Patrick?"
Robin groaned. "Ugh I don't know Brenda. I mean, its fun, we get along great, and the sex is amazing, but I just don't know if he is the one…I mean, he says he wants to be with me, and we're happy together, I just don't think he's ready to settle down and be serious with me."
Brenda nodded. "Yeah well…he better not mess around with you, otherwise I am going to have to say something, and I can guarantee he won't like it."
Robin laughed. "I'll be sure to warn him next time I see him."
"You would."
They grabbed Brenda's bags and carried them out of Robin's apartment, and downstairs to where a car was waiting to take her to the MetroCourt. Robin hugged Brenda, and said, "I know you're only going a few blocks away, but we still need to make sure to see each other plenty. I've missed you Brenda, and I'm glad you're back in Port Charles."
Brenda hugged her back and slid inside the car. As the car pulled away from the curb, she leaned against the headrest and said softly, "It's good to be back."
