"So" Lou says a few days later as Caroline is standing behind the counter as her and Lilly are sitting behind the counter "Caroline tell us a little about yourself" she says as Caroline looks at her
"Yea" Lilly says as she looks at Caroline "You've been working here for a couple weeks now and I still feel like we barley know you"
"Okay" Caroline says as she looks at them "Well I was raised just outside of Ontario" she says continuing "My dad is a working cattle rancher, so I lived on a cattle ranch my entire life up until I left for college"
"What did you go to school for?" Lou says as her and Lilly continue to look at her
"I wanted to be a teacher" Caroline says as she continues to look at both of them "But then I fell in love and I just never finished"
"Are you married then?" Lilly says as they continue to look at her
"I was" Caroline says as she looks at them "My husband's name was Richard, from the minute I saw him I knew he was the one for me" she says continuing "He passed away a few years ago"
"I'm so sorry" Lou says as she continues to look at Caroline
"Myocardial infarction is what the doctor called it" Caroline says continuing "A Heart Attack at 33, I couldn't believe it" she says continuing "We just went to sleep one night and I had my husband" she says as she begins to get chocked up "I'm sorry"
"Oh no it's okay" Lilly says as she digs around in her pocketbook as she finds a tissue handing it to Caroline
"And then the next morning I woke up and he didn't" Caroline says as she wipes her eyes with the tissue "The first few years there after are really just a blur" she says continuing "I was just in such a fog"
"Did you have any children?" Lou says as they continue to look at Caroline
"That was actually one of the saddest parts of it" Caroline says continuing "We were trying to start a family when he passed away, but no we never had any children" she says continuing "And I'm still not entirely over it even after all these years, Richard was my one true love and I don't know if that can ever be replaced" she finishes saying as Scott comes in door followed by Ty
"Hey mom" Ty says as he walks over giving Lilly a hug "Hey Lou" he says smiling at Lou "When Lyndy gets here can you send her over to our table"
"Sure thing" Lilly says as she looks at Ty "Oh and Ty this is Caroline"
"Nice to meet you" Ty says as he looks at Caroline "Okay well I better get over there Scott is waiting for me"
"Mom" Caroline says as she turns to look at Lilly
"That's my son Ty" Lilly says as she looks back at Caroline "Lyndy's dad" she says continuing "Unfortunately he knows some about losing your one true soulmate" Lilly says continuing
"Lyndy's mom" Caroline says as she looks at them
"My sister was killed in a car accident a few years ago" Lou says as she looks at her "Drunk driving accident" she says continuing "Lyndy was only five years old"
"Even though it has been years now" Lilly says as she looks at Caroline "He's never been the same"
"I don't see how anyone could be" Caroline says as Lyndy comes into the door followed by David
"I'll stay here you go on" David says as Lyndy turns to see Ty and Scott sitting at one of the tables as she walks over toward them as David sits down at the counter beside Lou
"Don't you want to go over there with your future wife" Lou says as she smiles at David as he gives her a look "Grandpa told me"
"There really are no secrets in this family" David says as he looks at her
"Yea you learn that after a while" Lilly says as she smiles at him
"No" Lou says as she looks back at David "Actually Grandpa overheard you talking to Ty the other night" she says continuing "Apparently he came through the living room on the way back to his and Lisa's room"
"So you know too" David says as he looks over at Lilly
"Kind of" Lilly says as she looks at him "Now Ty did tell me that, but I've been sworn to secrecy"
"Well as long as Lyndy doesn't find out" David says as he continues to look at them "I'm still trying to figure out how to do it" he says as he looks at them "But I think I have an idea, we're going on a road trip up to pike river next week" he says continuing "And I know how much Lyndy loves that place so I'm thinking about doing it then"
"I think that is a wonderful idea" Lou says continuing to look at him
"I'm so excited for the two of you" Lilly says as she also looks over at David
"And to answer your question" David says as he looks at them "I'm not going over there because I know what I'm missing" he says continuing "A whole lot of vet talk" he says as they all look at him "And I'm supportive of her career and all, but there is only so much of that I can take" he says as they all smile at him as he takes a sip of the drink that they handed to him
"Hey Caroline" Lou says as she looks at her "I have an idea, tomorrow night is when we have our big family dinner at the ranch" she says continuing "And since your hear by yourself why don't you come and join us"
"Well I don't know" Caroline says as she looks at them
"Come on" Lilly says as she looks at her "We always have a nice time and plus it will give you a chance to know a few more people around here"
"Yea Caroline I wouldn't try to fight it" David says as he looks at her "I think at this point they would just invite anybody off the street" he says smiling as Lou and Lilly give him a look
"Well okay" Caroline says as she smiles at them "I'll be there"
