Olivia checked her phone and Veronica leaned on her shoulder. "You are going to be okay."

Veronica sniffled, "I can't stop crying."

"You're overwhelmed."

A fan came to their table wanting a selfie. Veronica covered her face. "No pictures."

"She's really tired. I'm sorry we're not taking any selfies today." Olivia said.

"Okay. I saw the news. I hope things get better for you."

"Thanks." Olivia said.

"I can't handle this. The tv show is still filming in another state. The interviews, the photoshoots, the baby bump in a few more weeks. What about my career? Fitz doesn't want me in California."

Veronica sat up and apologized for the wet stain on Olivia's shirt. Olivia smiled. Veronica needed a vacation. Somewhere tropical."

"Let's go to the Bahamas."

"Right now?"

"Yes, we can stay today and tomorrow."

"I can't afford that at the last minute. That's a few thousand dollars. I really want to see what my office and home look like before I spend money."

"I will get the tickets, hotel, and our food." Olivia said.

"Can you afford it?"

"Yes."

"I don't want to spend your money."

"We can spend Fitz money."

"My Fitz won't like that."

"He doesn't need to know how I'm paying for our vacation. I'll text Fitz and he will give me permission to put it on his credit card."

"Thanks."

"How far along are you?"

"I don't know. I took the pregnancy test a few hours ago. I was about to call you, and I checked my text messages. I knew it had to be important because there were so many messages coming through from different patients. A message said turn on your TV. Another message said I need an appointment now. Fitz was still holding the pregnancy test. I said I have to go, and he followed me to the hallway. That's when you heard us arguing."

"What about your family?"

"I'm from New York. I don't have any family in California."

"How did you and Fitz meet in Vermont?"

"We met in New York. We chose the same summer camp. He was friends with my boyfriend, and it was his idea to go out on the lake at night. I wanted to be one of the cool kids, so I followed them. I was always the pretty nerd, so guys liked being around me."

"Are you the same age as Fitz?"

"No, he's older. I hope I don't look 42."

"You don't look 40 something."

"He was 17 and I was 14 when I jumped in the lake. I wanted to help him, and I wanted to be popular. My boyfriend was already calling me a goofy freshman. I didn't want to lose him. I guess I had my own reasons for helping Fitz."

"You jumped in the lake to make your boyfriend like you?"

"Yeah, it was a dumb reason. He still dumped me for a senior."

Veronica smiled, "Fitz and I kept in contact, and we've always been friends. He paid my tuition, and he never asked me for anything."

"Why did you become a psychologists?"

Veronica laughed, "Many reasons. I think the biggest reason was wanting to know why I was always the person everyone wanted to be around. Yet, they really didn't want to know me. It was like being treated like a trophy. I think that's why I became so attached to your show. I could imagine myself being a gladiator. I could be part of a team. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would really become friends with you and Fitz. I still pinch myself."

"I don't think you realize how much you mean to me. Before I met you and Fitz, I had everything and nothing at the same time. I need you to be my best friend. I hope that doesn't make me sound like a stalker." Olivia laughed.

"We're both stalkers." Veronica laughed and looked at the menu. "Thanks for being here for me."

"We should really get the waitress. I want to be in the Bahamas soon." Olivia said.
