Second Time Around
Chapter 7

She started walking towards him.

"Josh? Josh Turner?"

"Haley. Hey. I haven't seen you in, wow, almost seven years. You look great. How are you?"

"Thanks. I'm doing pretty good. You?"

"Good. So do you still live in Tree Hill then?"

"Nope. I'm up in New York now. You down here?"

"Yeah. I moved back with my cousin after we graduated from college. In fact, he's getting married next week. I haven't even met his fiancé yet cause I have been away in California for business for a while."

"Ryan Brown?"

"Yeah. No, his Taylor is your Taylor."

"Yeah. How weird is that. We're going to be like family now. Well at least I know now that he isn't insane or anything. So what about you, are you married yet?"

"Nope. I haven't really had time with the business and all. Are you married with the 2.5 kids and picket fence?"

"Well if by married you mean to my work, by 2.5 kids you mean 2 roommates, and by white picket fence you mean penthouse apartment, then yes. Me and relationships just don't really work too well right now I guess."

"So are you just in town for the wedding?"

"Yeah. I leave in about a week."

"We'll have to get together before you leave again."

"Yeah, I'd like that." After exchanging numbers they each went their separate ways. Haley went back to her hotel room and put on a tank top and some pajama pats before falling into bed. Today had definitely been eventful for her, but now sleep overcame her.
