AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yes I know this chapter is super short but I've been having writer's block since I got back to University. Beaucoup de Français and History.

Chapter 3 - What Was I Thinking?
What was I thinking? Was the thought that dominated Bug's mind the day after he agreed to go on a date with Sandra O'Leary. He didn't think he was ready to go camping with the woman, after all he didn't seem ready to dive into a date with a woman he hardly even knew.
"What's wrong Bug?" asked a concerned Jordan.
"It's nothing." replied Bug.
"It doesn't seem like nothing."
"Well I did agree to go camping with a woman that I just met."
"That doesn't seem like you at all Bug."
"I know it doesn't seem like what everyone else expects of me. I always figured that by this time I would be married and have kids."
"I think everyone else around this place, who's our age, thinks the exact same thing. Don't worry Bug, if she's the one, you'll know."
After a long silence Jordan asked, "How did you meet her?"
"She was one of the interpreters from the Port Authority when I was on that suspicious death case with Nigel and Detective Hoyt. Anyway when Lily and I went to join you guys at the Pogue last night, she was there, she started talking to me and she was putting some of those rumours, that Detective Hoyt was telling me about, to rest." replied Bug.
"Wow Bug, how often does a beautiful woman throw herself at yourself?"
"Not often enough."
"Then go for it and see where it goes."
"I don't know what I was thinking agreeing to go camping with her."
"Bug sometimes you need to take chances, and I for one will not think any less of you for doing this."
"Yeah."
"Bug, just have a good weekend."
Bug couldn't believe that Jordan was giving him advice, he thought that she was wrapped up too much in her own life to care about anyone else. Bug grudgingly accepted the fact that he was going out with a woman who wasn't Lily.
