Shannon put on her warm coat and headed for the door. She shoved her hand's in her pockets as she began to walk home. She hoped that he would sleep through the night this time. She had had a tiring night.
"It's been too long." The voice said behind her. She stopped dead in her tracks. No, it couldn't be him. Shannon slowly turned around. Sure enough, Scott Summers stood there, a broad smile on his face.
"Scott," she began, walking towards him, "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you." Now she was just confused.
"Why?"
"I kinda missed you."
"It's been two years, and you just come outta the wood work because you missed me?" She asked, somewhat flattered. He nodded.
"How are you?" He asked. Shannon shrugged.
"I'm fine. You?"
"Better then I was two years ago." They stood there in an awkward silence before Shannon realized how late it was getting. "I gotta get home." She stated, turning away.
"Can I walk you?" He asked. Shannon turned back.
"Sure." They just enjoyed each other's company until they reached her house.
"It was good to see you." She said, sliding the key into the door.
"I'd like to see you again." He told her. Shannon smiled slightly.
"That would be nice."
"Can I take you to dinner? Maybe tomorrow night?" She thought, then nodded.
"I guess. Okay."
"Pick you up at six?" She nodded again.
"Sounds great."
He kissed her on the cheek before heading off the porch. Shannon stepped inside, where her mother greeted her. "Who was that?" Patty asked. Shannon sighed.
"You're not gonna believe this, but Scott Summers." Her mother raised an eyebrow.
"Really. After two years-" Shannon cut her off.
"I know. I'm a little confused, too. And it's just dinner."
"What'd he want?"
"To take me to dinner."
"Are you going?" Shannon shrugged.
"I've always said that if Scott ever wanted to see me again, that I would do it for Griff."
Patty nodded her head, not really believing Shannon's reasoning. "Sure. For Griff."

Shannon sprayed the mango sent onto her skin. She turned to Sarah Jankins, her best friend, who was sitting on the bed. "How do I look?" She asked. Sarah smiled. "Fantastic." Shannon nodded. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a long sleeved shirt with purple flowers, topping it off with her black heels.
"Okay, if you just wanna give him some of the mac and cheese in the fridge for dinner, and maybe a piece of bread or two that would be good. Uh, you know his bedtime-"
"Shannon, I've done this a thousand times. Go, have a good time."
The door bell rang. Shannon sighed and went to the door. She was planning on telling Scott over dinner. When she opened the door, Scott smiled.
"You ready?" He looked really good. 'Really, really good.' This was going to be an interesting night.
