Scott was hit with a thick cloud of smoke. Now this brought back memories. He walked up to the counter. "I'm looking or Shannon Hayden. Does she still work here?" He asked. The male bartender looked him up and down.

"Maybe. Depends on who's askin." Scott smiled. He wanted to surprise her.

"Just an old friend. I met her just over two years." The bartender's face grew grim. This couldn't be the guy. If it was, he had to know the truth.

"She still works here. Her shift starts at seven. Ends at eleven." Scott smiled.

"Thanks."

Shannon pulled the macaroni and cheese off of the stove. She put some in a small bowl and stuck it in the fridge. She herd the front door open and close and her mother came into the kitchen.

"Hay mom." Shannon said as she put some apple juice in a sippy cup. her mother, Patty smiled back.

"Is that his dinner?" She asked. Shannon nodded. She pulled it out of the fridge. She sat down and began to spoon some into her son's mouth. "Is it good?" She asked in a baby voice. He didn't answer, he just smiled.

"Do you know how to get in touch with this Scott Summers?" Patty asked.

"Mom, don't start." Shannon pleaded. Her parent's and her best friend, Sarah were the only one's who knew the identity of this sweet boy's father. And, her mother brought it back up almost every time Shannon turned around.

"And you know I do." Shannon told her.

"You really should tell him."

"I agree. But, I haven't herd from him in two years. If he wanted anything to do with me, I would have heard from him by know. Just drop it." She put the empty bowl in the sink and grabbed her coat.

"By, Baby." She told him, kissing him on the crown of his head.

He began to fuss as Shannon left. He always did that. "Besides," She said to herself as she walked. "Innocent secrets never hurt anyone." She walked into Joe's and got herself situated at the bar. "See ya, Mike." She told the bartender who worked when she didn't.

"See ya. Oh, a guy came in here lookin for ya."

"What'd he want?" Shannon asked.

"Didn't say." Shannon went to work, not knowing that her 'innocent secret' was about to get blown out of the water.
