A/N – Thank you again for all your loving reviews and PM's. I can't believe after a year there are still so many people invested in this story. You guys are the best!

Chapter 21

A loud explosion echoes through the crowded tour bus followed by wines of defeat. In the front of the bus, a grueling battle of strength, wit, and the fastest thumbs is underway. At first, it was just a fun little game but it soon turned into an all-out war, with men fighting against women. Unfortunately, the guys didn't take into consideration Callie's video game skills and soon the men stood with their tails between their legs as she destroyed them one by one. The screen once again fills with blood and flying body parts as another man succumb to Torres's wrath.

"I win!" Callie says proudly to a pissed-off looking Jackson. "Again." He roughly tosses the controller to George. "Well, I'm going to leave you losers to wallow in your defeat." She gets up from her seat. "Your turn Mer, make me proud," Callie says handing over the controller to her.

Callie makes her way to the back of the bus where Arizona and her two backup singers are talking, well more like giggling. They are on their way to the final concert of the tour. After months of endless traveling, hotel rooms, and living out of a suitcase in a few days it will all be over. Taking a moment to reflect on everything that has happened she watches as her girlfriend tells Lexie and April all about some of the more bizarre cases she had to work on in the early years as a surgeon.

"It's my first time doing stitches on an actual human being and I am all pumped up to rock these five stitches. After pulling out the suture kit I get ready to numb his hand so I can get started when he asks me what I am doing. And in my best doctor's voice, I explained to him that I am using a local anesthetic to numb the area. Next moment he pulls his hand away saying 'Young lady for the price I am paying I want imported.'" Causing another round of giggles and after a few moments, April looks up and sees Callie.

"Hey Cal, Arizona is just telling some of her crazy ER stories." She explains between giggles.

"Did she tell you the one about the guy who got shot in the ass?" Callie asks falling onto the bunk next to the blonde.

"I still can't believe a bank robber would shoot the poor guy there," Lexie says motioning to her backside.

"He told everyone to get down and the floor and not to make a noise and the guy made a noise," Arizona explains.

"But why shoot him in the butt?"

"Because that's where the noise came from," Callie says like it's the most obvious thing. She groans when the bus shakes as they hit a bump in the road. "Ugh, I am really getting tired of this tiny tin can." She complains taking Arizona's bag moving it to make more room for herself.

"Don't worry we are almost at our next stop," Arizona says reassuringly.

"I know I just want to be able to take a shower without getting seasick."

Callie looks at the two backup singers who have made themselves very comfortable in her bunk. When Lexie catches the singer's raised eyebrow she gets up pulling April with her.

"Come on April let's go see what the others are up to."

"But…" They hear April complain as Lexie pulls her away.

"You could have let them stay," Arizona says smiling.

"I wanted to be able to kiss my girlfriend without having an audience." Leaning forward she pulls Arizona into a passionate kiss to prove her point.

"Maybe you should have kicked them out sooner," Arizona says leaning in for another kiss from the smirking singer.

When their little make-out session comes to an end they reluctantly pull away. Callie pulls out her guitar as she leans against the back wall. Like every time she runs her fingers across the design on the back that never fails to make her smile.

Arizona watches Callie play for a moment before pulling out her iPad to do some work while Callie does her own form of work. Going through the mountain of emails that never seem to let up an unexpected name catches her eye. Reading the email she feels her heart starting to beat faster, rereading it to make sure her mind is not playing some kind of joke on her.

"Hey, you okay?" Callie's voice snaps her from her thoughts.

"Huh? Yeah, yeah I'm fine." She says turning the device off and placing it back in her bag.

"Are you sure? You look a little… out of it." Arizona hears the concern in her voice, moving over to sit next to Callie with her back against the wall as well.

"I'm sure." She takes Callie's hand intertwining their finger. "Don't worry it's nothing bad I promise." Callie nods.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asks as her thumb rubs comforting circles on the back of Arizona's hand.

"Not right now." Now Callie is even more curious but she knows Arizona will come to her when she is ready.

Letting go of the blonde's hand she returns it to the guitar strings as her fingers start to move across the strings. Arizona moves as close as she can without disturbing her, she drops her head on Callie's shoulder leaving a kiss on her neck when she recognizes Callie playing La Vie En Rose.

"Hold me close and hold me fast, this magic spell you cast, this is la vie en rose. When you kiss me heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose."

Callie sings to her girlfriend who is wrapped around her.

"When you press me to your heart, I'm in a world apart, a world where roses bloom. And when you speak angels sing from above, everyday words seem to turn into love songs."

Arizona is trying to hide her goofy smile but knows it's useless when Callie is singing to her.

"Give your heart and soul to me, and life will always be la vie en rose."

When the final note fades Arizona tilts her head to look at the smiling Callie.

"Callie Torres you're such a cliché," Arizona says admiring the blush on the singer's cheeks before leaning in to kiss it. "But I love you anyway." Callie is scared her face might split in half from her ridiculous smile so she pulls Arizona in for another kiss.

"A relationship without romance is empty." She says against pink lips.

"I have a feeling we are never going to have to worry about lack of romance with you Casanova." Arizona looks at her with her dimples in full force. Callie can recognize that look anywhere.

"You want me to play you another song don't you?"

"Pretty please." Callie just rolls her eyes at Arizona's antics before starting to play another song.

-x-x-

After hours of never-ending driving, they finally arrive at their hotel. Everyone is standing in the lobby stretching their underactive limbs while Arizona is over at the receptionist desk getting their room keys, it's just past midnight so there are only a few scattered people standing around.

"Hey, they have one of those kid casinos," Cristina says pointing to the corner room with a few neon lights inside, and even if it's already closed they can clearly make out the shape of what appears to be a spaceship or race car just inside.

"A what?" Owen asks confused.

"You know the place where you put money into the big machines and if you are lucky you win a piece of gum."

"You mean an arcade." George answers but Cristina just shrugs.

"Cristina it can't be easy being you." Everyone turns around to inspect the new voice.

"Bailey, what are you doing here?"

"The searchlights went out so I used a spoon to dig my way out of my room," Bailey says sarcastically. "It's the last concert of the tour I'm here on official business."

"Well it was nice almost catching up with you but I have to go somewhere that isn't here," Cristina says grabbing the room key from Arizona and walking off toward the elevator.

"Don't piss me off Yang I am running out of places to bury the bodies," Bailey calls after her.

When everyone is gone leaving only Callie alone with her manager she turns to the shorter woman. "What happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"You only show up when you have bad news." Callie challenges, Bailey decides to just get straight to the point.

"It has been brought to my attention that one of your favorite singers will be attending Preston Burke's charity gala this week." Callie looks at her confused but then it hits her.

"Oh no, come on Bailey you know I can't be in the same room as that woman. Why couldn't she just write them a stupid check?"

"You know that's not how it works." Bailey is well aware of the tension between Callie and the blonde singer but this one is out of her control.

"I know." Callie huffs annoyed. "Well, at least it can't get any worse."

-x-x-

Callie should have known better than to say that out loud, because as luck would have it everything that could go wrong during final rehearsals did - sound, lighting even two broken guitar strings. After struggling for hours Callie had sent her band out to go get some food because the last thing she now needs is a cranky band.

Bailey is yelling at everyone on the crew for their stupidity, wanting to stay out of the manager's way Callie sits down on the edge of the stage watching Arizona. She is sitting in the middle of the floor with her legs crossed and eyes closed, her hands are dancing in front of her as she is in deep concentration. After a while, she stretches out her neck as her hands stop, when she opens her eyes they lock with brown ones. Answering the singer's smile Arizona blows her a kiss before closing her eyes and going back to what she was doing.

"Hey, you might want ease up there before you burn a hole right through her." Callie's head snaps up.

"Addison?" Callie asks surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"The charity gala is tomorrow and I thought I'd come a little earlier and maybe finally get a chance to see you perform." Addison sits down next to her friend giving her a big hug.

"Well, it's a really nice surprise."

They make small talk just two old friends catching up. When a silence settles between them Addison clears her throat. "So,"

"So?"

"Mark and Aria?" Callie lets out a snort. Sure she has come to accept their relationship as strange as it might be for her, but that doesn't change the fact that it's her best friend and little sister.

"Apparently."

"And they are having a kid?" When Addison found out she thought Mark was just making one of his unfunny jokes.

"I know but they really seem good together. Mark has quit his man-whore ways and Aria has even started to act like a mature adult."

"So it's serious?"

"As serious as a bladder infection." Addison looks at her disgusted. "What?"

"I think you should stop reading your girl's medical journals." Callie just rolls her eyes. "I can't believe it, it feels like yesterday we were just three crazy young adults taking Hollywood by storm and now you both have someone, and I am just standing there all alone."

"Oh come on Addie you were born to be an entourage." Addison slaps Callie's shoulder.

"I'm serious! Mark and Aria are starting a family and you are looking at Arizona like she is the eighth wonder of the world. And me? I have a cat!"

"And a fish," Callie adds as it will somehow make her look less like an old spinster.

"Not anymore I don't. I can't even keep a damn goldfish!"

"You killed your fish?" Callie asks amused.

"Well, I don't think a live fish will swim that fast down the toilet," Addison says with a pout putting her head on her friend's shoulder.

"Don't worry Addie you are going to find someone."

"I really want to murder Mark for running off and getting a girl, does that make me a horrible person?"

"You're not a horrible person you're just horny," Callie says rubbing her back.

"Addison!" Arizona had finally looked up from her little trance spotting the redhead next to her girlfriend. "You're here." She says happily walking closer to them.

"I just popped in to see how my favorite Hollywood couple is doing." Arizona sits down next to her hugging her.

"She is lying, she just knows there is going to be a lot of single rich men at the gala," Callie says poking Addison.

"What can I say I love a man who has more money than I can spend."

Callie and Arizona burst out laughing but their moment is interrupted when Bailey calls Callie. The singer apologizes before joining Bailey backstage.

They talk for a little while before Addison gets up and walks around the stage looking out imagining what it must be like performing in front of thousands of people every night.

"I don't know how she does it, I would crap my pants if that many people were all staring at me."

"I totally know what you mean, but she was born to be on stage." Arizona follows her as Addison walks over to the drum set sitting down on the stool.

"Even at five singing in my treehouse, I knew she was going to be famous one day." She says picking up the drum sticks.

"Um, I wouldn't do that if I was you, Cristina will go ape-shit if she finds out someone touched her stuff." Addison just ignores Arizona's comment. Tapping the kick drum a few times just getting familiarised with the instrument again before letting the sticks fly across the drums expertly. "Wow, you're really good," Arizona says impressed.

"I'm proud to say I was the drummer in her first band." She says slamming down on the cymbal. "I haven't played in years," Addison says with a nostalgic look on her face.

"Why did you stop?" Arizona asks genuinely curious

"I guess I had to when I traded my chucks for Jimmy Choos. Have you ever tried playing in heels? Not so easy."

"Do you miss it?" Arizona asks when Addison places the drumsticks back where she found them.

"Sometimes, but the music was never my passion like Callie. Now getting paid to hang out with celebrities while finding out their dirty little secrets, that's my passion." She gets up walking closer to the blonde. "Just like yours is cutting open people." Arizona scrunches up her face.

"You make me sound like Jack the Ripper."

"One thing is for sure I don't want to get on your bad side." Addison sees Arizona chewing on her bottom lip like she is trying to solve the world's problems, bumping the blonde's shoulder. "Hey, if there is any advice TV's number one talk show host can give you it's that it is important to follow your passion. Life is too short not to be happy."

Callie comes walking back on the stage. "Addie did I hear you play?"

"I still got it," Addison says very pleased with herself holding out her hand for a high five that Callie gladly gives.

"Well it looks like we can get back to rehearsals now, I already called the band and they are on their way back. But unfortunately, it looks like I am not going to be able to get out of here for at least another four hours."

"Seriously?" Addison steps closer to the singer. "Cal I love you like I want to have your babies but I'm not going to spend four hours sitting here watching you play the same songs over and over and over and…"

"Okay, I get it." Callie cuts her off, she herself is not really in the mood after the morning she had.

"Arizona what do you say you and I head back to the hotel and spend the rest of the day in front of the TV watching sappy romantic movies while eating unhealthy amounts of junk food?" Addison asks hopeful, ever since their first meeting when Addison had to babysit a human-sized connect the dots they have grown rather close.

"Sounds like heaven to me." She just has enough time to places a quick kiss on Callie's lips before Addison drags her off the stage.

-x-x-

Hours later Callie walks into the room exhausted she only has an hour before she has to go back to get ready for the concert. Walking into the dark bedroom the only light coming from the movie playing on the TV, she can make out the two women on the bed both in their comfy clothes. And it's no surprise for Callie to see Arizona in her clothes. Callie takes off her shoes walking over to her girlfriend, Arizona moves to the middle of the bed to make room for her.

"Addison snores," Arizona says pouting making Callie chuckle as she snuggles into her girlfriend giving an appreciative sigh.

"Yeah, she does that." Arizona is running her finger through Callie's hair instantly relaxing her.

"Did you get everything ready for tonight?" Callie nods into her chest her eyes already fluttering closed. "That's good." Addison lets out a snore making them giggle. "Are you nervous about your last concert?"

"A little, it's going to be one of the biggest and everything going wrong has just been messing with my head."

"Think about it this way, you are another day closer to sleeping in your own bed again."

"That's true." She tilts her head to look at the blonde. "What do you say we take a little vacation when we get home?"

"We just traveled around the world."

"Yes, but we were working. We don't even have to go anywhere, I just want some time to relax and cuddle with my girlfriend." Emphasizing her point by wiggling her body closer to Arizona's. Looking back up to her face she sees her girlfriend chewing on her thumbnail the same nervous look on her face she had on the bus. Callie moves a few stray strands of blonde hair from her blue eyes. "We don't have to do that if you don't want to." The insecurity in her voice makes Arizona snap out of her thoughts.

"Of course I want that." She says running her hand up and down Callie's back. "I want nothing more than to spend as much time as humanly possible with you."

"But?"

"It's just…" She sighs. "I think you are going to get tired of me pretty quickly." Callie can tell she is not telling the truth but doesn't call her out on it.

"That will never happen." Another snore disturbs their silence making the singer groan. Callie lifts her head to look over Arizona's body to her sleeping friend before facing the blonde again. "Do you think fish can commit suicide?" Arizona looks at her flabbergasted just staring at her before she starts to laugh.

Besides their rocky start, the concert went off without a hitch. Arizona is pretty sure it's the best one of the whole tour. Addison also finally got to see her best friend perform. Callie might have done one or two extra songs not wanting the concert to be over just yet. After the show, they planned on going out to celebrate. But the stress of the day came tumbling down on all of them and they decided to reschedule for when they are a little more alert. So they all settled for one drink in the hotel bar before everyone crawled into bed for a well deserved night of sleep.

-x-x-

The next morning is just as busy as the previous day, with them getting ready for the charity gala, the only thing left to do before they can go home. It's one of the biggest events for the rich and famous hosted every year by businessman Preston Burke owner of a Fortune five hundred company.

Addison, Bailey, and Alex are all dressed and ready to go waiting in the hotel lobby for Callie and Arizona. Addison and Bailey are talking and after finally getting the bodyguard to stop fiddling with his tie he is now busy eating a packet of chips. The arrival ding of the elevator makes them turn to face it as Callie steps out looking gorgeous in her floor-length black dress.

"Wow, Cal you look amazing," Addison says giving the singer a good once over.

"Hey don't act so surprised." She jokes running her hand over her dress. Tonight she wants to feel sexy and judging by the way her girlfriend was drooling all over her in their room she made the right choice. "It was between this dress and the red one but it made me look like Santa."

"You look beautiful Callie." Bailey complements her.

"What if Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny are all just the same perverted old man with multiple personality disorder trying to get closer to little kids?" Alex says popping another chip in his mouth. All three women look at him speechless.

"Keep talking Karev and your teeth will be back in LA before you are," Bailey says breaking the silence.

"What?" He asks confused making crumbs drop onto his suit.

Arizona comes bouncing into the lobby. "I found it!" She says holding up her phone, she takes in all their shocked expressions. "What did I miss?"

"Trust me you don't want to know," Callie says placing her hand on the small of the blonde's back leading her to the door. When she passes Alex she glares at him slapping the packet of chips out of his hands.

Stepping out onto the sidewalk Arizona sees Callie fidgeting with her hands.

"Nerves?" Arizona asks taking her hand to stop the fidgeting.

"It's not that, I just have this weird feeling."

"What feeling?"

"Like something bad is going to happen." She whispers, Arizona leans over kissing her cheek.

"Nothing bad is going to happen, we are just going to mingle with some rich and powerful people, dance like crazy, have a great meal, and drink a lot of champagne." Callie nods but can't shake the feeling of nipping at her. The driver opens the door of the limo for them and they all slide in.

-x-x-

The room is buzzing with people all dressed to the nines. Waiters in their sleek tuxedos handing out $100 a glass champagne to the guests as they mingled with forced laughter and fake smiles. Callie and Addison are standing off to one side talking. No matter how many times she denies it Addison knows Callie is hiding from the She-Devil she heard would be attending and the way her eyes frantically keep scanning the crowd only further proves her point. After the waiter hands them each a new glass Addison finds Callie smirking at her.

"What?" She asks getting a little uncomfortable. Callie dips her head closer to her friend's neck making Addison crane her neck away from the singer. "You know your girlfriend is right over there." Using her champagne glass to point to the other side of the room but Callie just keeps smirking at her.

"Addison Forbes Montgomery are you wearing my perfume?" Addison's eyes go wide and her cheeks turn pink.

"Yes fine, I am okay?" She says annoyed making Callie's smirk grow. "I only bought it because I know the money is going to charity. I'm feeling very giving tonight." She says taking a large gulp from her glass.

"Bull, and even if that was true it still doesn't explain why you are wearing it."

"Like your one to talk. I know for a fact that you still haven't told Arizona where the majority of the money you're making on the perfume is going." Callie turns her eyes to the ground looking guilty.

"Only because I know what she is going to say. But it doesn't matter because it's my money and if I want to give it to research being done on Cystic Fibrosis then I will. I'd rather have them spend it in helping to find a cure than me spending it on something I don't need and probably already have two of." Addison places her hand on her friend's forearm.

"Callie you really are an amazing person." Never being one for compliments Callie just rolls her eyes, looking out to the crowd she tries to find a change of subject and luckily that comes in the form of a short silver dress.

"Wow, you would think if she is attending a function like this she would have enough money to pay for the rest of the dress," Callie says motioning to the woman. "Really it's a gala. What if one of the reporters outside stopped her how would she explain that dress?"

"The zipper is in the back," Addison says making them both break out in laughter. Their laughter dies down when someone clears their throat. They both turn to see a handsome man standing next to them.

"Sorry to interrupt." He says smiling at them. "My name is Jack Reilly." He says extending his hand.

Callie looks over to Addison seeing her unmoving she reaches forward taking the man's hand.

"Hi, I'm Callie Torres." She says shaking his hand and elbowing Addison to get her to say something.

"Ad-Addison Montgomery." She says also shaking his hand.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't know who you are. Don't tell the guys at my gym but I am a big fan of your show."

"Oh, so you're a closet talk show viewer?" Addison asks amused.

"Guilty."

Callie watches the two who has forgotten all about her. Smiling at the pair she walks away giving them some privacy. Looking over the sea of people her eyes quickly finding the blonde she is looking for. Arizona is standing on the other side of the room talking to someone, she is smiling at him, and Callie can tell the blonde completely enchants him. She can see how her brow furrows when she is concentrating on what he is saying and then the way her smile automatically brightens when she talks about her own job, her love clearly shining through everything she does. Callie can't help but want to swim across the crowded room and whisper in her ear how beautiful she is. Not being able to take her eyes off the blonde Callie thinks about how lucky she is for being able to call Arizona hers.

-x-x-

April and Lexie are walking through the hotel lobby on their way out. Just because they are not attending the gala doesn't mean they can't have a little fun of their own. April walks up to the receptionist's desk asking the young man behind it to call a cab for them. They are talking about what the night might hold for them when someone familiar runs past them.

"Eli?" Lexie calls out making them man spin around, a relieved smile washes over him as he walks closer to the two.

"Lexie, April where is Callie?" He asks slightly out of breath.

"She is at some charity gala thing. Why what's going on?" He takes a deep breath.

"I figured out who the stalker is."

-x-x-

Arizona can feel eyes tracking her every move, she doesn't have to turn around to know who they belong to. Excusing herself from her conversation with a middle-aged man who has been talking to her about the exciting world of car sales. Arizona sets off looking for her girlfriend who looks extra sexy tonight. Turning a little too quickly from the man she bumps into an unsuspecting bystander.

"I'm so sorry." She says embarrassed, but luckily she didn't spill her champagne on the other woman's costly looking dress.

"It's okay no harm done." She says smiling at the blonde after inspecting her dress to make sure there is no damage.

"Sorry, I can be a little clumsy sometimes." Arizona can feel her cheeks heating up.

"It's fine really." Really looking at the blonde woman in front of her for the first time she asks. "Are you Arizona Robbins?" Arizona looks at her surprised having the woman she just almost ran down calling her by her name.

"Yes, I am. Do I know you?" Studying the woman's face trying to place her.

"Oh no sorry, I am friends with Callie." Arizona nods, that makes more sense. The woman holds out her hand. "I'm Stephanie Edwards." Arizona's jaw drops as she does her best impression of a goldfish in a fancy dress as she opens and closes her mouth a couple of times with no words coming out.

"You're… you're Stephanie Edwards the famous jewelry designer?" She nods as Arizona just looks at her amazed. "Wow, I love your designs!" Stephanie smiles at the woman who is clearly a fan of her work.

"I can see that." She says dropping her eyes to the blonde's necklace. Arizona's hand shoots up to the silver music note around her neck.

"Wait, you designed my necklace?"

"Sure did, special ordered by one Callie Torres. When she told me all about this amazing woman she met and how madly in love she is I wanted to make her something special."

"Thank you very much, it's perfect." Arizona runs her finger over the pendant feeling every line and curve. "I have to say I'm really amazed at the detail you can put into every design."

"You can thank Chuck Hull for that." Arizona looks at her confused. "The inventor of the 3D printer." She explains but the blonde still looks clueless making her chuckle. "Okay, so when I want to make a new piece it starts as a simple design on a piece of paper. From that, I make a 3D model on the computer, and then I use a 3D printer to print it. By doing that I can create designs that would otherwise be impossible."

"That's amazing! Do you have like your own printer?" She asks excitedly.

"I do actually."

"Do you think maybe I could you know maybe see your work in action sometime?" Stephanie chuckles at the nervous woman.

"Sure, when you guys are back in LA stop by my studio sometime and you can check it out." Arizona gives her a big smile.

"Hey, Steph are you trying to steal my girl?" Callie asks walking up to the two.

"Like I will ever be that stupid to go up against you Cal." Callie gives her friend a quick hug before moving to stand next to Arizona putting her hand around her waist. "I must say she is even prettier in person, good job Carl." Arizona tries to hide her blush behind her glass while Callie just smiles proudly.

"Stephanie has her own 3D printer," Arizona says excitedly.

"I know I have seen it, it's pretty cool."

"Calliope can I have a 3D printer?" Arizona asks bringing out the big guns as she turns her body into Callie's smiling at her showing off her dimples.

"Sweetie you know I will give you whatever your little heart desires, but there is no way in hell I am buying you a 3D printer."

"Why not?" She whines with a pout.

"Because I don't want our house to look like it was made in Minecraft." Arizona crosses her arms but Callie just pulls the sulking blonde closer to her kissing her temple.

-x-x-

"Eli slow down," Lexie says holding onto the seat for dear life as Eli races down the road like a mad man.

"Still no answer," April says from the back seat already dialing the next number.

"Eli slow down or you are going to kill someone, someone being me," Lexie says waving her hand in front of her face to emphasize her point as they dodge yet another car just barely missing it. Turning to the man she tries to take her mind of the blurred lines of cars around them. "How did you figure out it was her?"

"I have been studying the stalker's messages going over them again and again. It was pretty clear that whoever the stalker is has a problem with Callie's celebrity status. She is also someone who knows Callie personally like what is her favorite kind of muffins. The more I looked at the evidence the clearer the picture became, all these little hints she left. Sending her a dead rat and then trying to kill her with rat poison. But it was the last note that really got to me. She refers to Arizona as her 'teddy loving girlfriend'. At first, I just thought she meant the shredded teddy bear in the box but then I remembered…"

"Arizona's best friend is Teddy," Lexie says filling in the gap.

"Exactly! So I called Teddy and it turns out there has been a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes asking a lot of questions about her best friend's new romance with the famous singer."

"And it was her?"

"Yes, I send Teddy a photo and she confirmed it."

"I can't believe we didn't see it," Lexie says more to herself than anyone else. She looks back at Eli fear evident in her brown eyes. "And you are sure she is going to be at this charity gala?" His grip on the steering wheel tightens and he gives a glance at April in the rearview mirror who is looking like she might throw up at any second before looking back at Lexie.

"For once I hope I am wrong."
