Twenty minutes after her encounter with Vaughn, Sydney pulled into the grocery store parking lot.

After looking around the store, and loading up her cart with all sorts of chips, chocolate, manicure kit, and facial masks she headed for the checkout lane.

Suddenly, she heard a laugh followed by "Hello Sydney."

Looking up she found Dixon and his wife Diane.

"Oh hi" she said smiling.

Diane was looking at Sydney's cart. "I wish that I could still eat like that, but two kids later it's just not possible." She said as she patted her stomach ruefully.

Dixon smiled. "Well we better go, enjoy your day off Sydney."

"Okay I will, and it was good seeing you guys" Sydney called as they headed off.

After paying for her groceries, she headed home.

"Fran I'm home, and I brought the snacks." Sydney called as she walked through the front door, juggling grocery bags.

Francie jumped up from the couch, where she had been sitting as she sorted through a pile of movies.

Hurrying over, she relieved Sydney of some of her bags.

"Wow Syd. Did you buy out the store? Not that I'm complaining." Francie said with a laugh, as she peered into the bags.

Sydney smiled at her. "Well we hardly ever get to do this, so I figured we might as well do this right."

Francie started unpacking the grocery bags. "Well we've got plenty of movies."

They put everything into bowls, and started a movie.

Two hours later Sydney sank back into the couch, and groaned.

"I am so stuffed."

"Well" Francie chirped. "then it's time for girl talk."

"If I tell you a secret of mine, then you have to tell me a secret of yours" Francie told her seriously.

"Okay" Sydney agreed. 

She knew that she could think up a harmless little secret, that she hadn't told Francie yet.

Francie took a deep breath. "Okay, well one of my secrets is that, I was really scared to open my restaurant."

Sydney looked at her in shock. "But, you seemed so confident and sure" Sydney sputtered out.

Francie shrugged. "I know. It's because I didn't want to look afraid in front of you."

"But why?" Sydney asked her.

"Because you always seem so sure and confident," Francie said.

"You don't ever have to be fake, or scared to act afraid of the unknown in front of me. I'm your friend, I'll understand' Sydney told her.

"I wish I could say the same about myself." Sydney thought as she hugged Francie.

"Okay, now it's your turn to tell a secret" Francie told her brightly.

Sydney opened her mouth to tell her some trivial secret, but suddenly she heard herself saying, "I like someone."

Francie looked at her in shock.

Sydney was shocked herself. She couldn't believe that she had just admitted that.

Suddenly, Francie squealed, "WHO IS HE?????"

Sydney shrugged. "Um, it's just this guy at work."

"Well, why haven't you two gone out?" Francie asked her.

Sydney squirmed uncomfortably. "Well, because we work together, and if we fought, or broke up it would be to awkward."

"But" Francie started to protest.

Sydney cut her off. "Can we start another movie please?"

Francie started to say something else, but decided not to.

Instead she got up, and popped in another movie.

After work, Vaughn decided that he should gather anything of Alice's that she had left when she came to dinner at his house, or anything that he had borrowed from her, and bring it back to her.

He went and got a box, and then went around gathering anything of hers. The last thing he put in the box was her day planner.

Vaughn set the box by the front door to drop off at her house the next morning on his way to work.

The next morning Vaughn pulled up to Alice's house, and set the box in front of her door.

Then he took off for work.
