SPENCER'S P.O.V
I've really missed this place.
I've missed hanging out with Zara's family.
"Honey I'm so glad you're here"
"I'm really glad I'm here as well"
I grab a plate off the rack and start drying it.
"Maggie I've really missed this place"
"Honey our doors are always open"
"I know I just..."
I reach up putting the plate in the cupboard.
"Spencer you shouldn't have to hide from them"
"I know I..."
"They're not worth it honey and if they can't see how great you are then that's their loss"
She's so sweet.
"Thanks Maggie"
I grab another plate out of the rack and start drying it.
"So you still haven't heard from either of them?"
"I ummm..."
When I say that she stops what she's doing and turns so she's facing me.
"Glen showed up at my pub a couple of weeks ago"
"He did?"
"I don't think he realised I owned it"
When I walk back over to the cupboard she grabs another tea towel off the bench.
"So it was just a coincidence?"
"Yer I think so"
I never really let him explain so I have no idea if it was a coincidence or not.
"What did he say when he saw you?"
"I didn't let him say anything"
"If I was you Spencer I would of done the exact same thing"
This is why I love Maggie.
She understands me.
"Anyway he was with his fiance so he's obviously engaged"
"Poor bitch"
When she says that I start laughing.
"Maggie I was pretty rude to her"
"And let me guess you apologised after?"
She knows me too well.
"Yer I ran into her at Roadhouse so I apologised"
"You're a good person Spencer"
"I have my moments"
I drop the tea towel on the Kitchen counter and grab my beer.
"Spencer I've been trying to get Zara to convince you to come back to LA for years and I was starting to think it would never happen"
I didn't think I'd come back either.
"But now you've come here I'm going to expect you girls to visit all the time"
"We'll see what we can do"
When I hold my beer out she presses her glass of wine up against my bottle.
"So Ashley seems like a nice girl..."
I've been waiting for this.
"Zara said you two just started seeing eachother?"
"Maggie she's actually the reason I'm here"
She's smiling.
"Things didn't quite go to plan in New York and she left before I could tell her how I felt"
"So you flew to the other side of the country and told her?"
"Yer"
"Spencer that's so romantic"
I didn't mean it to be some big romantic gesture it just ended up that way.
"They should make a movie about you two"
When she says that I start laughing.
"Maggie it would be pretty boring"
"Spencer I doubt your life could ever be boring"
That's true.
"I can't believe you're going to finally settle down?"
I've been telling Maggie for years that I'm not interested in a relationship.
So this is probably a little unexpected.
"I really like her Maggie and when I'm with her I'm not interested in anyone else"
"I never thought I'd see the day that Spencer Carlin wanted to settle down"
"Ha ha Maggie very funny"
"Spencer she's pretty easy on the eye"
That's hilarious.
"I've actually noticed that"
I noticed that the second she walked into my bar.
"Who am I kidding Maggie that was the first thing I noticed"
"Honey that really doesn't surprise me"
Ashley's hot.
"Maggies she's..."
I know what I want to say but I don't know how to say it.
"She gets me and within a couple of weeks of me knowing her I told her things I've never told anyone"
I trust her.
"She brings out this whole new side of me that I've never seen before and that terrifies me but at the same time it's exciting"
"Ooohhh new love"
"It's not love yet Maggie it's... I don't know what it is"
She's grinning.
"I really like this new Spencer"
"Maggie did you not like the old one?"
When I say that she starts laughing.
"No I loved the old Spencer but the Spencer I'm talking to right now is completely different"
"Really?"
"You're more comfortable, you're less guarded and you're not hiding anymore"
I'm done hiding.
"You're like a daughter to me Spencer and I couldn't be happier for you"
I have the biggest smile on my face when she wraps her arms around me.
"Thank you Maggie"
"Live your life Spencer"
That's the plan.
