The morning after his talk with Elliot he headed into the bar around 11. They didn't open until 3 which gave him some time to do some inventory, and start an order with his supplier, Livvy had been hell on feet the last few weeks, but that morning had been the worst, kicking and screaming, refusing to eat her breakfast, yelling to stay home from school. He didn't know what was wrong with her lately. Yes, he did. He sat down at one of the barstools at the bar, he was concentrating deeply on the paperwork in front of him when he heard the door open. Without even looking up from his papers he simply said ''Were closed''

She looked at him as she held onto the hand that was gripping hers firmly. ''Heard you were looking for a partner?'' He whipped his head up, he looked at them, stunned to see his sister and his nephew smiling widely back at him. He stood up and walked towards them.

''It gets cold in New York'' He smiled

''I like the cold'' She grinned back at him

He stepped forward then, wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug, she hugged him back tightly, Noah tugging on his shirt, Simon looked down at his nephew and smiled wide. ''Noey!'' He reached down and swung him up into his arms.

''Livvy is gonna be so happy to see you'' He hugged him tightly

''I wanna see Livvy!'' Noah yelled excitedly

Simon and Liv let out a chuckle.

Liv looked at her son. '' Noah, how about you eat your sandwich'' Holds up the happy meal she had stopped on the way for. ''Then maybe Livvy will be out of school?'' He looked at his mother and nodded. She walked him over and helped him into a booth and got his food out for him, slipping the toy into her pocket. ''You know the deal. Eat and then you can have it'' He started to eat his food. She smiled and walked back over to her brother, slipping onto the barstool beside him.

''So...What happened with Phoenix?''

She shrugged. ''Wasn't home''

He smiled. ''What is home exactly?''

''New York… Definitely New York''

He smiled. ''New York or…''

She looked down at her hands, she twirled her mother's ring around her finger. ''I was stupid to think I could just forget him'' Looks up at her brother. ''I never really have''

He grinned her way. ''Then what are you gonna do about it?'' He caught her eyes, smiling as the smile reached hers.

''We have the power to absolutely destroy each other.'' She spoke softly

''That's how you know its real Liv''

Simon sat back, he looked at her for a few moments. ''I've lost… with love you stand to lose it all, a broken heart is a really hard price to pay. But when actually take a chance you could end up with everything.''

She teared up. ''I'm terrified''

He nodded, placing his hand over her clasped ones.

''You can't deny your feelings anymore. Your everything is right in front of you Liv.'' He smiled softly at her. ''So, what are you waiting for?'' He smiled

She wiped her teary eyes as she listened.

''I would give anything to have another chance. Anything. You've got your chance, all you have to do is tell him you want it. You don't have to fight for it, you don't have to convince him. He knows you're the one. He's come in here every night for a month because he still has faith, he has faith in you, he has faith that you'll come back to him. I saw him last night Liv, he's losing Faith, he's trying to hold on with everything he's got but it's getting harder every day.''

''He comes here?'' She looked at him

''Every night… every single night'' He spoke honestly

''I thought he would just…'' she trails off

''Forget about you?'' he spoke knowing the answer as she nodded, wiping her eyes once again.

He shook his head. ''No. No, he hasn't. I didn't know it before Liv, but I know it now… He is completely in love with you. I don't want to see you lose out on this because you deserve to be loved like that. This is your chance. Don't let it slip through your hands because you're scared of something that might not happen.''

''Simon…''

''What are you gonna do? ''

It was Saturday night, the place was hopping, Simon had hired and trained two new servers and a bartender, he was thankful for the extra help, especially tonight, He stood behind the bar observing how they were doing when he saw him come through the door, slipping back to his usual table along the back wall he watched as he removed his jacket and sat down, his back facing the crowd, he sat patiently waiting for a server.

He walked over to the cooler and grabbed out a bottle of his normal beer, he popped the top as he felt a hand cover his, taking the bottle, he smiled softly as he handed her another bottle of the same. He leaned back against the wall as he watched her walk towards his table.

The closer she got to his table the harder it was to feel her legs, she stopped briefly behind him, watching, he looked lost…She smiled softly as she went around to where she was facing him, his eyes were looking down towards his hands, staring intently, he looked lost in thought as she put a sweet smile on her face. She stood beside his table when he felt a presence, he slowly raised his head, he froze when he laid his eyes on her, his stunned expression lifting her smile even more.

''You waitin on somebody?''
