~Chapter 8~
Gabi walked up behind Ethan. "You ok?" Ethan turned around and looked at his daughter in the eyes. "Not really but maybe it's for the best." She sat down next to him on the bed. "How's that?" "Because I only have room in my life for one girl and that you." She smiled. "That's sweet, dad but if you love her you really can't let her go. You lost mom and I don't want you to lose someone else again." He put his arm around her. "Honey, I lost your mother to death and I lost Lindsey because she wasn't ready for a relationship." "And you couldn't get mom back but you still can get Lindsey back. Please I don't want to lost her." "This is why I didn't want to get close to her because I knew you would get attached. In addition, you did. I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought her here." "Dad, it's not your fault I'm attached I knew her before you ever started dating her. Moreover, I know you just making excuses. Please go after her before it is too late. She him a kiss no the cheek. "I'm going back to the party and by the end of the night I expect you two to be a couple again."
"Excuse me?" Lindsey looked up and saw Beth standing there in front of her. "Yes?' She said her voice very weak because she had been crying and her face was streaked. She had been at the Book Care for ten minutes just crying into the table. "I was just wondering if there was anything I could get you. You look pretty upset." "I am and sure I take the strongest coffee you go with whip cream." She smiled. "Coming right up." She walked over to Hank. She started to make the coffee. "One chocolate chip cookie." She told him. "Coming up. Honey, what's wrong you look like you're just seen a ghost?" "I have." He stopped her. "You're sure you're ok?" "Have could I be? Theresa Lopiz-Fitgerald Bennett Crane is in our Book Café! How can you be ok? She is you are relative." Hank looked at her shocked and looked at Lindsey. "Beth, that's crazy. Tat can't be her." "Have I ever been wrong? You know I never forget a face." "I know but there's a first time for everything." "We'll see." She grabbed the cookie and the cookie and walked over to Lindsey. "Here you go." "I didn't order this." Beth smiled. "It's on the hose. And these." She handed her some tissues. "Thank you Beth." Beth smiled. "It's amazing that you know my name." Lindsay's eyes were wide. "Well… um… Your name tag." She pointed toward where her mane tag should have been. "No, my son used it as a part of one of his school projects. I haven't gotten another one since then." "Maybe we meet before." Beth smiled. "I think we have, Theresa." She started to twirl he hair around one of her fingers. "I'm not Theresa. I'm Lindsey." "Right. Look I know who you are and why you will not admit and that is your choice. But I need you to know that there are some people who deserve to know you're alive, Like Pilar for instance." As Beth walked away, Lindsey headed over toward Pilar's house.
"How's he holding up?" Miguel asked Sam. "I don't know he won't talk to anyone but Gabi." Sam said. "I'm worried about him he's shutting people off like he did when Theresa died." Ivy said. "I don' think it is the same. We're just got to let him deal with it in his own way." Reese said. "I can't believe I convinced him to date again. I mean look what happened. Luis said. "We all did and it's not our fault. We had not way of knowing." Sheridan said as she put her arm around him. "Well I just want to know why she like that." Jessica said. "I don't know but it was strange." Kay said. "Why would she break his heart like that?" Whitney asked. "Well I don't think his heart is completely broken." Chad said and pointed to Ethan who was getting his jacket out the closet. "I hope he it goes well." Sam said. "We can only hope." Ivy said.
