Sandy was sitting at his desk, working. He didn't see Kirsten standing in the doorway, just looking at him.
He hadn't noticed her yet. She liked watching him work. After a few minutes, she decided it was time to say something.
"Hey honey" She stepped into his office. He looked up.
"Darling! Great to see you, let me just finish this"
"Sure. I brought some lunch. Were are we gonna eat?" She asked.
"Uhm…" Sandy looked around. " We can go to the cafeteria. Now I'm done, lets go." He got up from his chair and walked towards her to kiss her on the mouth.
"Lead the way" She said and grabbed his hand and smiled at him. He looked at their hands.
" I just want everybody to know that your mine" Kirsten said. He smiled at her 'She is so adorable', he thought to himself.
"I'm all yours", he reassured her and lead her through his office door.
Almost right outside his office they ran into Rachel, who apparently had been on her way to see him. Kirsten tightened her grip on Sandy's hand, looking at Rachel.
"Oh, Sandy! I was just looking for you. Hey Kirsten." She added when she noticed his company.
"Hey Rachel" Kirsten said.
"Rachel! Is it important, cause Kirsten and I were just about to go to the cafeteria and…"
"No, I just came to tell you that I'm gonna leave town for a while…"
"And what about the case? You know, The Heights…" Sandy asked
"Well, I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to work alone..Well, I'm gonna let you two have your lunch. See ya!" She went back into her office.
"I guess I'm gonna figure it out.." Sandy said, looking at his wife.
"Hey Mr. Cohen. Is this your wife?" One of Sandy's colleagues said, looking at Kirsten.
"Yep, this is my Kirsten" Sandy said proudly. Kirsten smiled.
"Nice to meet you" the man said.
"You too." Kirsten responded. The man walked away.
Sandy and Kirsten continued to the cafeteria, with several people asking if this was Sandy's wife.
"You are actually enjoying this, aren't you?" Sandy teased her.
"Yeah, I'm proud of being your wife" Kirsten smiled.
They sat down and started eating.
Back at Harbour, there was an awkward silence when Seth and Anna joined the others for lunch.
"So…who are you?" Anna asked, looking at Kelly.
"Oh, I'm Seth's sister, Kelly. And you are..?"
"I'm Anna, Seth's friend, from Pittsburgh" Anna said with a smile.
Silence
"I gotta run. I got history. Ryan, are you coming?" Marissa suddenly said.
"Ooh, right, history" Ryan sighed as he got up.
"Wait, I think I'm in your history class" Kelly said " Can I go with you?"
"Of course! Come on!" Marissa said as Kelly got up. "Bye everyone"
Then they were three. Summer, Seth and Anna….
"Soo…. "Seth started." Now it's just us"
"Yeah… Anna, what do you have now?" Summer asked
"Ehm… I got calculus. You?"
"I got English, that sucks" Summer said with a sigh "What do you have, Cohen?"
"I think I got Biology" Seth answered
"It's on the way to the English classroom! Can you walk me , Cohen? Sorry Anna, I think calculus is on the opposite side of the school, too bad you can't walk with us" Summer said, looking at Anna, feeling glad that she got some time alone with Seth.
"Right" Anna said. "Well, Seth. See you later. You too Summer" she got up and walked towards the lockers.
"So, Cohen. Shall we go?" Summer suggested.
Back at Patridge, Savage and Kahn, Sandy and Kirsten had just finished their lunch and were now just sitting and talking. Suddenly, they went silent.
After a few minutes in silence, Sandy said "What are you thinking about?"
She looked at him and said "You. About our wedding day" She smiled at the memory.
He looked at her and smiled too. "The happiest day in my life. Along with the birth of Seth and Kelly" he said.
"Mine too." Kirsten said. "I can't believe it's been so long since that day"
"I know. But on the bright side, we still have many years left with each other. Cause there is no way I'm leaving you"
Kirsten smiled at him. "Well, I'm not leaving you either"
"Good to know" he said.
"That must have been the most boring History class in the history of History classes" Marissa said as they got out of the classroom. Kelly laughed. The school had ended for the day.
"Do you wanna come with us? We're gonna hit the spa" Summer said, looking at Kelly.
"I would love to, but mum is coming to pick me up." Kelly said.
"Oh, that's ok. Maybe some other day, then" Marissa said, looking slightly disappointed.
"Guys I'm sorry, but I think I need to spent some time with her. She's been worried sick over me the past 6 months, and I can't let her down"
"What about us!" Summer shouted furiously. "Don't you think we've been worried about you? We're your best friends!"
Kelly and Marissa stared at Summer, who excused herself.
"Actually, Summ's right." Marissa hesitated.
"But, I can blow off my mum! And tomorrow I'm going surfing with my dad. Maybe we can do something this weekend" Kelly tried.
"Sure. Have fun hanging with your parents" Summer said in a bitchy voice, and dragged Marissa with her as she walked away. Kelly was left alone.
"Kelly!"
Kelly looked around. There she was. Her mum. Kelly ran over to the black Range Rover her mum was leaning against.
"Hey mother" she said when she reached the car.
"What was that between you, Summer and Marissa?" Kirsten asked, she had apparently overheard Summer when she had been shouting.
"They asked me to go to the spa with them, but I said I was going to be with you this afternoon, so I couldn't. And tomorrow I'm going surfing with dad, I don't thing they took it so well. They probably think I don't want to be with them." Kelly explained.
"Oh.. Well, if you want to go with them, don't let me stop you" Kirsten said, trying to hide her disappointment.
"No, I wanna go with you, mum" Kelly said, smiling.
"Let's go then!" Kirsten said happily and got into the car.
