Landon is downstairs, wondering what to do next about Jamie, he knows she comes home tonight. " Should I wait for her? Should I call her? Does she even want to talk to me?" He asks himself over and over. His thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door.

" Hi." Jamie says.

" Hi." Landon says, surprised that she came to see him. " Come in." He says as he moves aside to let her through.

" Nice." Jamie says as she looks around his nice little home, he's made for himself and his daughter.

" Thanks. How was your trip?" Landon asks, not knowing what to say or do next.

" It was ok. It was a business trip and we got the deal so everything worked out." Jamie explains, feeling a little bit nervous, avoiding his eyes.

" I didn't think you wanted to see me." Landon points out, feeling nervous and weird around her.

" I told you I wouldn't give up so easy. I wanted to see you." Jamie says.

" I wanted to see you too, I was thinking about what to do next, when I heard the door. What happens next?" Landon asks, finally meeting her eyes.

" I want things to go back to the way they were but that can't happen, I want us to be together, that's all I know." Jamie admits.

" Me too. I want you. I never thought I could open my heart again but I did, with you and it's killing me that I didn't tell you about Allison or about my past, I don't want to see you hurt." Landon explains as he walks closer to her.

" It shocked me, to find out so much about you in like seconds but I've thought about it and it doesn't matter, I know now and that's what matters." Jamie says, sealing the space between their bodies.

" I was praying you'd say that." Landon says before he kisses her.

All their fears are answered and washed away now. They both closed their hearts off from bad relationships but now with each other, their falling again and have no idea how bad.

" Daddy." Allison says as runs down the stairs, causing Landon and Jamie to step away from each other. " Hi." She says in her childish voice as she looks up at Jamie

" Hi." Jamie says with a smile as she looks at this beautiful little girl standing in front of her.

" Ally, there's someone I want you to met." Landon says as he picks her up. " This is Jamie. Jamie this is my daughter Allison." Landon says, glad that his two favorite girls are meeting.

" Nice to meet you." Allison shyly says.

" Nice to meet you to." Jamie says.

" I'll be back." Landon says to Jamie as he carries Allison away.

" I'll be here." Jamie says with a smile as she sits on the sofa, and takes a look around the living room, the sofas all facing the coffee table, the drawing she guesses are from Allison laying across the table.

' It went better then I thought it would. I have to tell him about Josh, secrets just cause problems, but how is he gonna take it? Not well, I know this. Maybe I don't have to tell him, things are going good now.

'Allison is so pretty, she looks just like her father. I wonder if her thinks about her mother, he said he never thought he could open his heart so he must have loved her a lot and she broke his heart, I don't want to do that.' Jamie thinks as she sits and waits for Landon to come back, deciding weather she should tell him about Josh.

" Hey." Landon says as he joins her on the sofa.

" Hey, everything ok?" Jamie asks, referring to Allison.

" Yeah, she just needed help with something in her room. She told me she likes you." Landon says.

" Really?" Jamie asks, feeling happy, she likes Allison to.

" Yeah, she thinks you're pretty, I told her I agree." Landon explains.

" She's sweet and so are you." Jamie says, as her cell phone rings.

" Hello? Yeah…what? Are you sure?"

Landon sits and watches her face and how quick her emotions changed, he knows it can't be good.

" I need to go, I'll talk to you later." Jamie says to Landon as she leaves.
