Brady: What do you mean? What (looking back to the party) umm what are you doing here? Look I really should go… (He goes to walk away but Chloe put her arm on his shoulder to stop him)
Chloe: No, please don't go. We need, umm we need to talk. (Looking back at the party to make sure no one was looking at them suspiciously) Do you think we could go somewhere a little more private?
Brady: Umm sure. Meet me downstairs in 15 minutes and we will drive somewhere.
Chloe: Thanks (looking into his eyes) we have something important we need to discuss. (And she walked away)
Brady watched her walk away and then let out all the air he had been holding back. 'What did she want? It felt so good to feel her touch again, to smell her scent. Stop Brady. You can't do this. You are over her!' and with that he regained composure and left to go get ready to quietly exit the party.
Chloe had rushed downstairs telling Belle she suddenly felt sick. That wasn't a lie. She suddenly felt like there was a hoard of butterflies batting in her stomach. 'What was she doing? What was she going to say?' She was about to run, run from her fears like she had done so much in her life. She started to walk away when she ran into Brady. It was too late.
Brady: Hey. I'm here. Now what? (He said trying not to look at her)
Chloe: Do you mind if we drove somewhere? What about the gazebo? (Looking deeply into his eyes)
Brady: Umm Chloe, I, I don't think that is a good idea….
Chloe: Please
Brady: ('Those eyes. How can I refuse?') Ok Chloe. Let's go.
The rode in silence to the gazebo where only months ago they had shared their magical night. They arrived at their special place and Brady turned off the ignition.
Brady: (Staring straight ahead, trying to stay aloof) Ok Chloe. We are here. Now what?
Chloe: (Quietly) Can we go out and talk?
Brady: No Chloe. We are here, but I think you can say what you want to me in the car. I don't' think the gazebo would be the right place…
Chloe: (Looking into his eyes and gently laying her hand on his arm) I'm sorry.
Brady: For what?
Chloe: For letting you walk out of my room months ago without telling you that our summer meant something to me. The truth was it did mean something to me. If fact I think about it all the time. I was too scared to realize my true feelings but recently I have. When I blew up at you for sticking up to me with Philip I realized that I liked having someone to care about me but I didn't want to admit it. Seeing you with Elizabeth tonight made me realize how much I miss you. You hurt me when you refused to see me or talk to me these past few months but it was completely my fault and for that I apologize again. I know now that I stayed with Philip because I was scared to let myself go, but I am ready to do that now. I am ready to admit that I need you in my life. It isn't complete without you. (She finished, took a deep breath and let go of his arm. She turned and closed her eyes, took a deep sigh and closed her eyes, waiting for his answer)
He looked at her. What was he going to say? 'I have waited so long for this moment and now that it has come I have no idea how to tell her how I feel'
Chloe: No, please don't go. We need, umm we need to talk. (Looking back at the party to make sure no one was looking at them suspiciously) Do you think we could go somewhere a little more private?
