(No answer)

Nathan: Haley!

(Still no answer)(Nathan walks into the living room and looks to the kitchen and then goes into the bathroom)

Nathan: Haley. Have you seen my sweater?

(Haley looks up to Nathan with a tear down her face)

Nathan: Hales what's wrong?

Haley: I think you left it at your moms a few days ago.

Nathan: Oh! Haley why are you crying?

Haley: I'm just thinking about Lucas.

Nathan: He's coming home today. You know because of my dad.

Haley: I know. I just have really missed him.

(Nathan steps closer into Haley and Haley rests her head on his stomach and wipes her eyes)

(Haley pushes Nathan away)

Haley: You have to go see your dad.

Nathan: Aren't you coming?

Haley: No I'll come by later. I really need to talk to Lucas.

(Nathan nods and gives a Haley a kiss; he leaves)

Haley: Oh boy!

(Brooke walks up)

Brooke: Hey whatcha got there?

(Peyton hurries and puts it in her coat)

Peyton: It's just an older letter from you.

Brooke: Oh. So what do you want to do today?

Peyton: I don't know. Lucas is coming back today.

Brooke: And I care because?

Peyton: I was just mentioning it.

Brooke: I know why don't we go get a whole bunch of junk food and go rent some old movies and have a girl's night?

Peyton: Sounds fun.

Brooke: Are you okay you're acting a little weird.

Peyton: I'm fine Brooke don't worry about it.

(Haley walks up to Lucas house to find him on the step)

Lucas: Haley!

(Haley sits next to him)

Haley: Hold me.

(Lucas nods)

Haley: I missed you so much Luke you don't even know.

Lucas: Me too Hales. So how's the husband- my brother?

Haley: He's fine. He went to go see Dan since he's been home alone..

Lucas: I need to go do that to.

Haley: Do you have to go now?

Lucas: No I guess not. Is there something you wanted to talk about?

Haley: No it can wait.

Lucas: Are you sure?

(Haley pulls away and nods)(Lucas stands up)

Haley: Go. I'll catch up with you later. (Lucas bends down and kisses Haley on the forehead)

Lucas: Okay.

(Karen comes out to see Haley sitting on the porch)

Karen: Hey Haley.

(Haley turns around to look and quickly turns back)

Karen: Are you crying sweetheart?

Haley: No.

Karen: You want to talk about it?

(Haley shakes her head no)

Haley: I should get going.

Karen: Okay. I'll see you tonight then, right?

Haley: What's tonight?

Karen: We're all going out to eat.

(Haley nods and walks off; Karen goes inside)(Knock on door)

Haley: I changed my mind I could use your help.

Karen: (nods) Okay.

(Dans house; Nathan talking to him)

Nathan: You know Lucas and Uncle Keith came back to see you.

Dan: I'm sorry who and Lucas?

Nathan: Dad!

Dan: Do me a favor never again in my presence say that name again.

(Nathan looks down; in walks Lucas)

Lucas: Hey I thought I'd come by since I was around the area.

Dan: What were you doing around here?

(Lucas shakes his head)

Nathan: I've got to go find Haley I'll see you both later. It's good to see you Luke.

Lucas: You too.

(Nathan leaves)

Dan: Why don't you have a seat?

(Lucas sits down)

Dan: So how have you been?

Lucas: Shouldn't I be the one asking that?

Dan: I don't want to bother you with my troubles Lucas we barely know each other.

(Lucas nods)

Lucas: Do you want me to go?

Dan: No. So do you plan on going back?

Lucas: I don't know.

Dan: Look I know I haven't been in your life so I don't have the right to tell you what to do. But in my opinion Luke I think it's better if you stayed here away from Keith for a while.

Lucas: You're right you don't have the right but thanks I'll keep that in mind.

Dan: I know most of the time I come off as a jerk.

Lucas: A jerk more like a...(Dan interrupts)

Dan: I get it. But having that heart attack made me realize I want to do right by my family and that includes you Lucas.

(Lucas nods his head)

Lucas: Words of advice.

Dan: What's that?

Lucas: Try being the dad instead of the coach all the time. (Dan gets a glare in his eye and nods) Hey uh if you feel like it stop by the house around 6:30. We're all going out to dinner.

Dan: Who's we?

Lucas: My mom, Nathan and Haley, Maybe Peyton and Brooke I don't know and Keith.

Dan: If you don't mind I think I'll pass.

(Fade out as Lucas walks off and Dan gives a dead stare)

(Everyone meets for dinner besides Brooke and Peyton)

Peyton: Hey could you give me my phone out of my coat.

Brooke: Yeah just a sec. (Brooke digs in Peyton's coat and finds the letter with both of their names on it)

Peyton: Wait!

Brooke: So you can hide this from me? An old letter from me huh? I am so out of here.

Peyton: Brooke wait!

(Brooke takes the note and leaves)

(Brooke walks by the restaurant that Lucas Happens to be at)

(Lucas stands up)

Karen: Where are you going?

Lucas: I'll be right back I need to talk to someone. (Haley looks outside and sees Brooke and smiles)

(Lucas walks out the door)

Lucas: Brooke.

(Brooke turns around)

Brooke: Did you mean this?

Lucas: What?

Brooke: The letter?

(Lucas nods)

Brooke: No wonder why Peyton tried to hide it from me.

Lucas: She did?

(Brooke shakes her head angrily)

Lucas: Sorry. Um we're all in there about to order do you want to come in and eat with us?

Brooke: Yeah actually I would.
