Disclaimer: I had a really good one all set up if EHP got The View job,
but oh well-ABC/Disney owns PC, not me.
A/N: I'm not getting into an argument over The View right now. (cough) losers (cough). So, let's see-It seems that you all are enjoying Rafe/Alison/Karissa-so maybe I'll just keep it going longer than I planned. Nah-we gotta get back to Happyville soon, I can't stand it. Gracie- actually, the red dress I was thinking of was how EHP described her sister on an episode of The View (her sister was pregnant, and they went to a black tie event and her sister wore a red strapless dress, that showed off her stomach, she said her sister looked gorgeous) Until next time-Ya'll are the best--PCGirl

"Hey," said Rafe, his head hanging down as Lucy answered the door.
"Look at you," she said moving his head upwards. "A few days ago you looked so happy, and today you look like you lost your best friend," she said pulling him for a huge hug.
"I feel like I have," he said as she walked him into the house and sat him down.
"You want to talk about it? Because if you don't, then that's fine with me. I'm sure we can discuss non-Alison and non-Caleb things."
"Talking is all I think I've been doing lately. I feel like I should be incredibly mad with her, and I am, but then I look at her and I love her so much still."
"Feelings like the ones you two have for each other just don't disappear in an instant, Rafe. Trust me, I should know."
"I don't want the feelings to leave, that much I know. Why didn't she tell me Lucy? I mean she had over a month to say 'Rafe, I love you-by the way, I slept with your enemy'. Yes, I would have freaked out, but at least it would have been easier."
"Things like this are never easy Rafe. No matter if she told you the day after or 10 years from now, it would still be the same."
"So what now?"
"This is what you are going to do. You are going to go home," she said as she got up and walked over to the door, "and you are going to take her out to dinner. Perhaps the PC Grille?"
"Uhm, Lucy," he said with a chuckle, "How is this going to help us get through the whole problem we are in right now?"
"That's just it. When you get somewhere where it is just the two of you, nothing else is going to matter. Also, maybe you'll be less willing to throw a fit in the middle of a restaurant?"
"If not, anything I break is being charged to you," he said as a smile appeared on his face. Maybe a nice dinner would help-it was at least worth a shot.
------
"So explain to me why we are here again?" said Alison as she sat across from Rafe.
"It was Lucy's idea, and for some unknown reason I thought it might work. So why don't we enjoy ourselves," he said taking a deep breath.
"Well, are we going to discuss nothing about our problem then?"
"Yeah, we can. Do you want to start, or shall I?" he said taking a sip of water.
"No yelling though. We wouldn't want to cause a scene," she said, beginning to smile.
"Never," he laughed. "Alison, you know I love you still, right? I mean I wouldn't be sitting here with you if I didn't."
"I know that, I just worry we'll never get back to where we were. That night on the boat, with the sun set, and then everything else-was so perfect, and so magical."
"And we'll get the magic back," he said as he reached out and grabbed her hand.
-------
"Hi, Dad," said Livvie as she came into the house.
"Well, hey sweetie. This is a surprise. What is the occasion?" he said giving her a hug.
"I am taking you out for dinner. My treat," she said as she walked over and grabbed his coat and helped him put it on.
"I'll go for that," he said, glad he had the chance to ask her to move in with him.
---------
"I have faith we will, but I know I hurt you. I hurt myself also. I wish I had told you what happened that night earlier."
"Don't use the word wish," he sighed, thinking how that one word had started this whole mess.
"Well, then don't turn around," she said as she saw Livvie come in through the doorway, then stop as she waited for whoever she was with to come in.
"You know I have to now," he grinned turning around right as Kevin walked in the door. "He's doing so much better than anyone ever expected. Wonder where the bat-wonder is tonight," he said turning back around and facing his wife.
"Hopefully he's not coming later," she said as they went back to talking.
-------
"Are you ok with them being here?" asked Kevin as he saw the look on his daughters face. He had thought she was over her hate for Alison, but now he wasn't so sure.
"I'm fine, really. They deserve each other, and the other day we were talking and laughing like old times," she said with a smile as she talked about better times. "Hopefully we will keep getting closer, and maybe get some of that friendship back."
"It's so great to hear you say that," he smiled. "Livvie, I wanted to talk to you about Caleb. You know if you ever feel like you need to get away from him you can live with me."
"Dad, that's so thoughtful, but I really need to work things out with him- by myself. If I don't do that then," she said as she stopped in mid- sentence when Karissa walked in.
"Who is that?" asked Kevin as he saw her walk over to where Rafe and Alison were sitting.
"Karissa, and she's nothing but trouble," said Livvie as she sat there watching her move. There was something about this woman that she didn't like, if she could only put her finger on it.
---------
"Hi Rafe," said Karissa as she walked up behind him, placing her hand on the base of his neck.
"Karissa, what brings you here?" he said moving so her hand got off his neck.
"I was going to meet with a business associate, but I think he stood me up," she said looking around and making eye contact with Livvie. "Oh, there's the sweet girl that brought me over to your work that day. Oli- Livvie."
"Yeah, Livvie," said Alison as she made her own eye contact with Livvie. "I've got to go to the powder room, excuse me," she said as she jumped up and went, with Livvie following quickly behind her. "What is going on with you tonight?" asked Alison as they stood around the corner from the dining area.
"Alison, I don't like that girl. She's evil."
"And you would know evil," she said with a smirk.
"There's something about her."
"She's a friend of Rafe's. And normally a friend of his is your enemy."
"That's true. Oh well, it doesn't matter now. Let's go back in before she gets suspicious," she said, giving up the mystery of who this woman really was for the night.
"Everything ok?" asked Rafe as he saw her and Livvie walk back out together.
"Yeah, where'd Karissa go to?"
"She didn't pass you on the way out?"
"Maybe she did, and I didn't notice," she said as her attention went from Karissa and Livvie to trying to regain trust and get her marriage back on the right track.
