Sunday afternoon.

It's a rainy day and Hanna is lying on her bed. She has been weeping for the last hour thinking about Caleb. Seeing him the night before just made her realize that her feelings for him hasn't change a bit after all those days of being apart. And what happened at Ethan's just confirmed it. She knows that the only reason why nothing happened between her and that guy is because he wasn't Caleb. But she also feels angry with him, because although she told him that she wouldn't get back with him, she was still waiting for him to fight for her and it didn't happen. The love that she feels for him is mixed with the anger, and that makes her feel very distressed.

Her phone rings and she thinks about ignoring it for a moment, but when she sees that it's her mom calling her, she decides to take the call just not to make her worry.

Hanna "Hey mom, how are you?" she says softly, trying to hide her teary voice as she wipes her tears with her free hand

Ashley "Hi, baby… were you crying again?"

Hanna "No mom, I was sleeping"

Ashley "Don't lie to me Han, you were crying again, weren't you?"

Hanna "Please, don't start or I'm gonna hang up on you"

Ashley sighs "I worry about you, Hanna… most of the time when I call you, I find you sad, and that's not like you, you aren't like that… I understand that you are still hurt because of what happened with Caleb but you can't-"

Hanna cuts her off "Don't talk about him… I'm okay"

Ashley "Why don't you come to New York? I want to see you"

Hanna "I can't take days off at work"

Ashley "Han, you are not working at the shootings. Be honest with me, do you like what you are doing? Do you like your actual job?"

Hanna doesn't answer.

Ashley "Please, I want you to come home, just for a while at least"

Hanna "This is my home now, mom"

Ashley "I understand that you have built a life there in LA, you have your apartment, your friends, your job… but you still have a home here in New York, you have me, your dad, Aria… I miss you"

Hanna "I know… I miss you too mom" she says and she squeezes her eyes shut as a few tears start to roll down her cheeks again

Ashley "Is that a yes?"

Hanna "No… I don't know"

Ashley "Come on baby, quit your job and come here… you can stay as long as you want, maybe a few weeks, a couple of months, and then when you decide that it's enough, you can go back there to LA… talk to Sarah, she will understand… what do you say?"

Hanna "I don't know, mom"

Ashley "Okay, think about it, you don't have to decide anything right now… but just to remind you, we are only two weeks away from New York Fashion Week and I could get a pair of VIP passes for you and Aria"

Hanna smiles slightly "Hey! Are you trying to bribe me to go there?"

Ashley laughs "Maybe"

Monday afternoon.

Hanna is about to finish her workday when Sarah goes up to her.

Sarah "Han, can I see you for a minute?"

Hanna "Sure" she gets up from her chair and she follows Sarah into her office

Sarah sits down on the couch, so Hanna takes seat as well next to her.

Sarah "I need to ask you for a favor"

Hanna "Sure, what is it?"

Sarah "Maggie just called me, she won't be able to come work for the next two days, her son is sick… Could you please cover for her at the shootings?"

Hanna "I really don't know… I don't think I could do such a thing, I mean, Maggie's job is so important and she is always racing against the time and-"

Sarah cuts her off "Han, if I'm asking you this, it's because I know you can do it, and so does Maggie, she asked me for you to cover for her"

Hanna "Really? She wants me to cover for her?"

Sarah smiles and nods "We both agree that you are our best option, I could call someone with more experience, yeah, but you know how things work there at our shootings, you know the story-line, you know our people, and it will only be for two days, you can do it. Besides, Spencer will be there to help you, she gets along very well with the new guy who took your place at the shootings and I can send Josh to support you as well if you need him at some point"

Hanna "I don't know… I'm really thankful, I feel so flattered… it's just that…" she says doubtful "I don't know"

Sarah "This is about Caleb?"

Hanna shakes her head, but Sarah doesn't believe her.

Sarah "Look Hanna, I would understand if you don't want to do this because you don't feel ready, I know what I'm asking you is a huge responsibility, but you can't miss an opportunity like this just because of a love that didn't work… Anyway, I can give you ten minutes to think about this and decide what you want to do, but I need an answer because I have to find someone to cover for Maggie for tomorrow and I don't have too much time to do so"

Hanna "I will do it, I'm covering for Maggie tomorrow"

Sarah "That's my girl!" she smiles widely but her smile disappears when she realizes that Hanna doesn't seem happy "Are you okay?"

Hanna nods "It's just that I wanted to talk to you too about something"

Sarah "Okay, I'm all ears"

Hanna "I'm thinking about going to New York to spend some time with my family, I haven't decided anything yet, but what I have already decided is that I won't keep working here at the office. I love working with you but I feel like this is not for me… I'm sorry, I'm so grateful to you, working on this show was so amazing. Anyway, I'll come to work until you find someone to replace me"

Sarah "I completely understand. I knew that working at the office wasn't exactly your dream job when I offered it to you. It's okay, you don't have to come to work here at the office anymore, that you cover for Maggie at the shootings these days is a great help" she smiles at her

Hanna "Thank you for understanding" she smiles back

/

Tuesday morning.

Hanna arrives at the TV Studios. She parks her car and heads right to the set. She feels a little nervous, but she is prepared, she has been working hard on the shooting schedule the night before.

As the members of the crew arrive, they start to set everything for the first scene. Hanna is waiting for the director to arrive when Spencer shows up over there.

Spencer "Haaan!" she greets her with a huge smile on her face "I'm so happy for you! I'm so glad you are back! Even if it's only for a couple of days" she hugs her "Congratulations"

Hanna hugs her back "Thank you, Spence! I'm gonna need your help" they pull away from the hug

Spencer "Don't worry, you will do it great!"

Hanna smiles at her.

Spencer "Besides, this guy who has taken your place here at the shootings is really good at his job, he will be very helpful as well… and he is really handsome, by the way" she winks at her

Hanna raises her eyebrows "I'm done dating people from work"

Spencer "No one said you had to date him" she laughs

Hanna "Anyway, Luke and Caleb should arrive any minute now"

Spencer "Yeah, and Emily too… she's on the second scene but I asked her to come earlier so she can be ready to shoot as soon as the first scene is done, it won't take too much time to the technicians to get that second set ready to shoot"

Hanna "Great"

Spencer smiles while looking somewhere behind Hanna "Turn around, the hottie I told you about is coming over there" she says "His name is Ethan"

Hanna turns around "Holy shit!"

Spencer "Told ya" she says smiling "He's cute"

Hanna "No, Spence! I'm screwed!" she says annoyed "Fuck! Why this sort of thing only happens to me?"

Spencer "What? Why?" she asks confused

Hanna "I know him!" she just says and shuts her mouth because he reaches them

Ethan "Hey Spence" he says looking at her, and then he turns his gaze to Hanna "Hanna! I wasn't expecting to see you here"

Hanna smiles awkwardly "Hi Ethan"

Spencer "Hanna is replacing Maggie today"

Ethan "Oh, okay"

The director shows up as well.

Hanna "Excuse me, I gotta go talk to the director"

Spencer "Okay, I'll be at make-up, and Ethan will be at the dressing rooms"

Hanna "Perfect, just come back here later, I need you Spence"

Spencer nods and walks out the set followed by Ethan.

/

Spencer is about to get in the make-up trailer when Caleb approaches her.

Caleb "Hi Spence"

Spencer "Caleb! How are you?" she looks at him "Wow, you don't look good"

Caleb "Yeah, I'm feeling like crap… I think I'm falling sick, my entire body hurts"

Spencer "Oh, that sucks"

Caleb "I think I'm gonna go talk to Maggie, maybe she can make some changes on the schedule so I can shoot all my scenes in a row and get out of here early"

Spencer "Maggie is not here today, someone is replacing her" she says smiling

Caleb "Who?"

Spencer "Come with me"

Spencer leads him to the set, but they don't get inside, they just stand at the entrance "See"

Caleb takes a look around and he spots Hanna who is standing there, giving her back to them, she is talking to the director while reviewing some pages of the script. Caleb smiles widely, as he stares at her.

Caleb "This is awesome" he says, feeling really proud of Hanna

Spencer "Yeah, it is. Talk to her, maybe she can move up your scenes"

Caleb "No, it's okay… I don't wanna mess up her work, I'm sure she has spent the night working on the shooting schedule"

Spencer "Okay, then go and get dressed for your scene"

/

Caleb is walking to the set, ready to shoot after having had his make-up done, he is using his phone and he raises his gaze when he hears some laughter. He spots Ethan and Paul standing a little further away from him, they seem to be staring at something, so he glances in that direction and finds out that is Hanna what they are looking at, she is on the phone. Caleb approaches them and stands behind their backs. In that moment, Hanna ends the call and gets back in the set, completely unaware of the guys.

Paul "Forget about her, dude… she's off your limits"

Ethan laughs "Who said that?"

Paul "I have already tried something there… we are not her type… that bitch is more likely to suck your dick if you are an actor"

Ethan chuckles "Well, that might be like that now, but I have already been with her and she used to be fun… though she has become just a cockteaser now"

Caleb "Hey" he says firmly to draw their attention

The guys turn around.

Caleb "Nice way to talk about a lady you two" he raises an eyebrow

Paul "Not your business man"

Caleb gets really angry "You are such a pig" he takes him by the neck of his shirt and pulls him closer "I don't wanna see you staring at her as a perv anymore" he pushes him away violently, almost causing him to fall on the floor "And I don't wanna hear you talking about her either, you don't even know her" then he looks at Ethan "That goes for you too"

Paul gets closer to Caleb "Don't fuck with me, asshole!" he places his hands on Caleb's shoulders and he pushes him back "Who the fuck do you think you are?"

Ethan "Hey! Slow down you two!" he gets in between them, and then he looks at Caleb "You are right, okay? We shouldn't talk about Hanna like that, but it wasn't big deal, we were just goofing around, a man talk"

Caleb "Yeah, well, nice talk!" He says, still furious "You should show more respect for her"

Paul "Fuck off, man! Shut your mouth, you can't talk, you think you are better than us? you used her and then you left her when you got bored of fucking her"

And that is when Caleb loses his head and punches him right in the face.

As soon as Paul recovers from that, he punches him back.

Ethan "Okay, just stop" he says, taking Paul away from Caleb

In that moment, Luke shows up ready to shoot as well and he runs up to them when he sees what's going on.

Luke "What the fuck, Caleb?" He takes Caleb by his arm and pulls him away from the guys "Come on, we have to shoot" he says as they walk to the set "What the shit, man!"

Caleb "That dude drives me nuts… just please act cool, I don't want Hanna to flip out"

Luke "Fine, but stop doing stupid things"

Caleb "Do I have anything on my face? Like a mark or something like that?"

Luke "Not yet, just your cheekbone is a little reddish but you should put some ice on if you don't want it to get worse"

They get on set and they approach Hanna before heading toward the scenography.

Luke "Hey, blonde! You did it! You are the boss now" he jokes

Hanna smiles at him "Yeah, call me blonde again and you'll be fired"

Luke chuckles "I always call you like that… and you can't fire me, get off your high horse"

Hanna laughs "Go, you have to start the rehearsal"

Luke laughs as well and then he walks away. Hanna turns her gaze toward Caleb, who is smiling at her.

Hanna "Hey" she smiles back, though it's a slight smile, and a little shy

Caleb "Congratulations" he says and then he pulls her into a hug

Hanna's heart flutters, she wasn't expecting that hug at all, and it takes her by surprise, but she hugs him back and that hug feels so good for both of them, but Caleb comes to his senses and pushes away after some seconds.

Caleb "Sorry, I just-"

Hanna "It's okay" she smiles shyly again "Are you okay?" she asks because when they hugged, she felt the heat from his body produced by his fever

Caleb "Yeah, why?" he asks worriedly, thinking that maybe the effects of the punch that he received some minutes ago started to be visible on his face

Hanna "You are like too warm"

Caleb "I'm okay, don't worry… I think I'm falling sick, but I'm okay for now"

Hanna "Okay, just let me know if you need anything"

Caleb "I will… I'm glad you are back, even if it's just for some days" he says smiling

Hanna "Thank you" she smiles once more "Now go, they are waiting for you to start"

Caleb smiles back and then he turns around and walks toward the scenography.

/

Caleb shoots his scene with Luke and then he gets in his dressing room. He is feeling worse now but he doesn't want to let Hanna know about that, he wants to shoot his scenes just in the order that they are scheduled and his next scene is right after the one that Emily is about to start shooting. He flops down on his couch and covers his body with a blanket.

Luke gets in Caleb's dressing room some minutes later "Hey!" he says while tapping on his shoulder in order to wake him up

Caleb opens his eyes, he is a little confused.

Luke "I got you some ice" he hands him a cold pack "Just stop screwing it up!"

Caleb doesn't answer, he just takes the cold pack and places it on his face.

Luke "You look terrible, man. You can't shoot like that, you have fever… you should talk to Spencer or Hanna and let them know"

Caleb "I can shoot… I'm just gonna need a good make-up. Don't talk to Hanna"

/

Luke gets back on set when the first take of Emily's scene is starting to be shot. He approaches Spencer.

Luke "Hey Spence, do you have a minute?" he says quietly on her ear

Spencer nods and follows him out the set "What's going on?" she asks once they are outside

Luke "It's Caleb, I just came from his dressing and he looks terrible, I don't think he will be able to shoot the next scene… He doesn't want to make Hanna freak out or delay the shooting, so he wants to shoot the same… but I think she should know and have a plan B, just in case"

Spencer "Okay, thank you. I'm gonna talk to her, she has to know"

Spencer gets back on set and stands next to Hanna. When the director yells "Cut" she takes the opportunity to talk to her.

Spencer "Han, there's something you should know… Caleb is at his dressing room and he isn't feeling well, Luke just checked on him and he doesn't look good… We should figure something out just in case he couldn't shoot"

Hanna nods "Okay, cover for me here, I'll be right back" she hands her the papers that she has in her hands "Take this"

/

Hanna knocks on Caleb's door some minutes later. He doesn't answer, so she lets herself in.

Hanna kneels down in front of the couch where he is lying and she places two bottles of water next to her on the floor.

Hanna "Hey, Caleb" she says softly while shaking his shoulder

Caleb opens his eyes and looks at her.

Hanna places her hand on his forehead "God Caleb, you are running a fever"

Caleb "I'm okay"

Hanna "Take this" she says, handing him a pill "You will feel better in a while" she opens one of the bottles of water and then she hands it to him as well

Caleb takes the pill and some sips of water.

Hanna "Don't worry, I'm gonna figure something out to replace the rest of your scenes, I'm moving them back to shoot them another day"

Caleb "No, I can do this, I wanna shoot… I'll be better in a while just as you said, really!"

Hanna "I don't know, Caleb"

Caleb "Come on, Hanna… it's just a little bit of fever"

Hanna "Let's do something… I'm gonna shoot another scene after Emily's scene, fine? If you are feeling better after that, you can shoot the rest of the scenes that you have for today, otherwise you are going home and I'm shooting some of the scenes from tomorrow's schedule to replace them"

Caleb "You don't have to change everything just for me, I'm okay"

Hanna "Hey, I can do this, give me some credit, just trust me"

Caleb smiles at her "I know you can"

Hanna smiles back "So?"

Caleb "Fine, move up some scene after Emily's, and then I'll shoot mine"

Hanna "Okay, keep well hydrated, I brought you some water… and text me or Spencer if you need anything" she says and then she stands up "What's this?" she asks picking up the cold pack from the floor

Caleb "Luke brought me that"

Hanna hands it to Caleb, just assuming that it was to reduce the fever and then she leaves.

/

Hanna moves up another scene between Luke and Toby to shoot after Emily's. When that scene between the guys is being shot, Spencer checks on Caleb and he seems to be feeling a little better, so he starts to get ready to shoot after the guys.

/

When the crew is getting the set ready to shoot the scene between Caleb, Olivia and Toby in the coffee shop's scenography, Caleb shows up over there.

Hanna "Hey, you look better"

Caleb "Told you" he smiles at her

The director's assistant approaches Hanna to ask her something, interrupting their conversation.

Olivia gets on set as well and she approaches Caleb "Hi, Caleb! How are you doing?"

Caleb "Hey, Liv! I'm fine, what about you? How is that little Livy?"

Olivia laughs "I don't know if it's a girl yet, I told you that it was just a feeling"

Caleb chuckles "Well, but mothers intuit that kind of things sometimes… or at least that's what they say…"

Olivia "I guess I'll find out in the next ultrasound"

Caleb smiles at her.

Olivia "Fuck, these heels are killing me… hopefully they finish getting the set ready quickly, I'm wishing to flop down on that couch so badly"

Caleb looks around and he spots a chair a little further away "Wait" he says and then he goes get the chair

Caleb gets back to Olivia carrying the chair and he places it next to her.

Olivia smiles at him "Thank you" she says and sits down

Hanna has seen Caleb's gesture and it totally melted her heart. He is so kind, he is such a gentleman. That's the guy she fell in love with, he is still there. She is staring at him with so much love, the same love that she has always felt for him, as strong as always, nothing has changed that, although it's been a long time since she felt like that, because between all their fights and the time that they have spent apart, she had buried her feelings for him to be able to go on, and those feelings were also a little contaminated by anger. But now, all that she can see is her Caleb, the same as always, and love is all that she feels for him at the moment, just love… and that really scares her.

Spencer gets on set, accompanied by Toby, they are walking holding hands. She releases Toby's hand and approaches Hanna who is absent-minded and she has still her eyes on Caleb as he has conversation with Olivia.

Spencer "Are you alright?" she asks, bringing Hanna back to her senses

Hanna "Yeah"

Spencer "How are we doing with the shooting?"

Hanna checks the time on her phone "We are ten minutes later than planned but given the unplanned situation with Caleb, that's pretty good" she smiles

Spencer "Awesome"

/

Caleb is shooting his last scene of the day. It's been a few hours since he took the pill that Hanna gave him and the effect is fading away, he is shivering and sweating because the fever is getting back. The director yells "cut" and approaches him.

Director "Are you okay, Caleb?"

Caleb "Yeah, sorry… I'm gonna do it better this time"

Hanna approaches them as well "Caleb, I could call this scene off if you-" she starts to say but he cuts her off

Caleb "It's my last scene, I'm doing this… besides, everything is already set to shoot this scene, I won't screw up everyone's work. I'm okay"

Hanna nods and takes her handy "Hey Spence, send someone from make-up to the set, we need a touch up" she says on the handy and then she looks back at Caleb "Wanna some water? Can I get you anything?"

Caleb "I'm okay" he smiles at her

Director "Okay, we are taking it from the top"

Caleb shoots his scene and when he is wrapped he heads to his dressing room.

/

The shooting continues for another hour and half more or less and then they are all finally wrapped.

Spencer approaches Hanna as the crew starts to disarm the set "Heeey! You did it!" she says smiling

Hanna "We did it!" she smiles back "Thank you, I wouldn't have done this without you, we finished only five minutes later than planned"

Spencer "That's awesome"

Ethan approaches them "Hey Han, can I talk to you for a sec?"

Hanna "Sure"

Spencer "Okay, I'm gonna go deliver the call sheets for tomorrow" she walks away from them

Ethan "I just wanted to talk about the other night… I mean-"

Hanna feels really uncomfortable talking about that, so she interrupts him "I don't wanna talk about that. I'm sorry for that, okay?"

Ethan smiles at her "Do you have plans now after work?"

Hanna "Sorry Ethan, I just got out of a relationship and I'm not ready to have anything with anyone at the moment"

Ethan raises an eyebrow "It doesn't have to be a thing… maybe we could just finish what we started the other night" he gives her a cocky smile

Hanna "Look Ethan, forget about what happened the other day, okay? It was my bad and I'm sorry. Now please, let's just stop talking about it"

Ethan "Okay, sorry. I get it" he smiles at her

Hanna "Good… you can leave now"

Ethan "Hey! Don't get mad at me" he gets closer to her and he kisses her cheek "See you tomorrow, Han!"

Hanna "See you"

/

Hanna is one of the last to leave the set and when she is in the parking lot about to get in her car, something catches her attention, Caleb's car is still parked there although he was supposed to leave the TV studios a couple of hours ago. Hanna gets in her car and grabs her phone to give him a call, but he doesn't answer. She decides to go take a look at his dressing room, so she gets out her car and walks toward there.

Hanna knocks on the door but she doesn't hear any answer from the inside, so she decides to take a look. The lights are off, but the lights from the hallway illuminate the room as soon as she opens the door, so she can see that he is lying on the couch wrapped in a blanket.

Hanna approaches the couch and places a hand on his back "Caleb" she calls him softly but he seems to be sound asleep, so Hanna goes down on her knees and she shakes his shoulder this time "Hey, Caleb!"

Caleb turns his body to lie on his side and opens his eyes, he looks at her confused.

Hanna "What are you doing still here?"

Caleb "What? What time is it?"

Hanna "It's almost seven o'clock, you should have left like two hours ago" she places a hand on his forehead "God, you are running a fever again" she takes the blanket to the side, uncovering his body "We should take this off, you are already too hot…" she places a hand on his cheek and he shivers

Caleb "I'm freezing"

Hanna "I know, but removing the blankets is good to let the heat escape… why are you still here, Caleb?"

Caleb "I was feeling like crap, so I just lied down for a minute before going home but I guess I fell asleep" he says softly

Hanna "Get up, let's go" she stands up from the floor

Caleb takes the blanket and covers his body again, then he closes his eyes.

Hanna "Come on, you can't stay here, everyone is gone… let's go, I'm taking you home"

Caleb doesn't answer.

Hanna takes the blanket, uncovering him once more "Come on, Caleb! I'm not leaving you alone"

Caleb looks at her.

Hanna "Please?"

Caleb sits on the couch and then he finally stands up. Hanna helps him to put on his jacket, she grabs his phone from the coffee table and then they leave.
