Janet looked when two men put new locks to the door of her shop. Rory was walking with incredibly high heels that no one in Rigde used as she stopped to talk to Janet. Janet looked at her and smiled a bit thinking that there they were, two girls that Eddie had dated longer than two weeks and they just were like day and night. "Hi Janet, you really have lot to do here?" Rory commented. "Yeah but it is okay. It gives me lots of joy to see how things arose from…well from scratch." Janet said. "So you are not working at Sully's anymore?" Rory asked. "Night shifts and when I open my shop, after that, only weekends when he needs me. I could never leave Sully for good. He's my rock. "Janet said. "Yeah. I can understand that. Eddie has been my rock since the day I arrived…sorry, Janet. I mean I don't exactly know what happened between you two but I have overheard guys talking about you and I have understood that something really bad happened between you and Eddie." Rory said. "So he hasn't told you. We were dating. I cheated so he no longer trust me or like me. End of story." Janet said but didn't feel the need to tell her how she fitted to the picture. "Okay. So now I know why he is so mad about everything." Rory said and looked bit uncomfortable about what Janet had told. "I don't know what is going on with you two, but I would appreciate if you wouldn't rub my nose in it." Janet said and went to thank guys who were finished with the locks. Rory went away with hurry and Janet took her phone. "Hi. You are actually calling me and I'm not imagining? "Eddie asked surprised to see Janet calling as he stopped his work. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I needed some time to digest all. You know…Eddie…this month has just been so hard and our…we messed up everything. I did mess up badly I know that." Janet said sitting to the bench near by. "I haven't been forgiving about anything these days and I now that I have done some things I need forgiveness from you. So are we ready to talk?" Eddie asked and surprised them both. "Could you come to meet me to my shop? I want to show it to you. Maybe next week or…?"Janet asked. "…tonight?" Eddie suggested. "Sure. You could come here. Eddie, we really are surpassing ourselves here, talking like this…this is…I have no words." Janet said and Eddie heard her smile to the phone. "Yeah, I know. But it will be more difficult when we see each other and remember all that have happened. But I am no longer running away from smoothing things out between us." Eddie said. "Well, if those things ever can be smoothed. But I miss you like I have never missed anyone. So what ever bone you throw at me, I will take it. No doubt about that. See you soon." Janet said and hung up.
Nick made sandwich for himself and Aubrey leaned to the sink. "With Hannah to get Hope, Dean's daughter, sounds incomprehensible equation for me." Aubrey said and felt her heart bounding from insecurities. "Aubs, you should know by now where my heart stands. It's all yours. Hannah and me, we are…well we are no friends but there is nothing left from our feelings each other. Just some memories, that's all." Nick said. "I don't feel good about you going away with the girl you once were so attached. Nick, you left me for her once already." Aubrey said. "And that was huge mistake. Letting past rule my life, I am never going to relive that kind of stupidity." Nick said and touched Aubrey's cheek. "She is with Big Cat and I am with you and one daytrip to Hampton and back doesn't change that fact." Nick said and took a bite from his sandwich. "Sure" Aubrey said and went to living room where Ronnie went over some papers Charlotte had given him earlier at hospital. "What are you up to?" she asked. "Nothing much." He mumbled. "Ronnie, I will have that talk with you tomorrow. Hannah and Nick are going to Hampton so I have all the time in the world." Aubrey said spreading her hands. "I don't have…time. Sorry." Ronnie said and left Aubrey sat on sofa with amazement.
Hannah came from shower and Ray still sat in their bed looking angry. "I thought you left already, to the poker night with guys." Hannah said only towel around her as Ray looked to her. "I cancelled it. I am not finished with the talk yet." Ray said. "Baby, your protectiveness and jealousy is cute most of the time but when it starts to show up like obsession, it's a bit too much." Hannah said walking towards her closet. "Obsessed or not I only think that you should loose up from your involvements with Garrett's household when we are married." Ray said. "All right so when we are married you decide who I can see and who I can't. " Hannah said starting to rile. "No. Of course not, but Garrett has his share of people. You have your people. No mixing is needed." Ray said. "Well, when I am back. We need to have nice little talk about trusting to your partner. Now I go check that Sam has everything he needs for tomorrow me being away." Hannah said. This wasn't the time to discuss about the baby on the way when Ray was acting like a child himself.
Janet and pizza girl were building up some shelves in storage room at Janet's store. "I told you that we need no men in this. It was second last." Janet said happy looking the selves they had already made. "And when are we painting these? I think they should be paint with bright colors." Pizza girl stated. "They are going to be dark brown." Janet said laughing. "You honestly are not that boring?" pizza girl said. "Oh yes I am." Janet continued with smile. They didn't have any idea that someone in dark corners of the buildings were Janet's store was, lighted some rag and then threw it inside from store's window. "So Eddie is coming when?" Pizza girl asked and looked her watch. "Any time now I suppose. I mean we have been here hours. I bet its dark outside already, better to go and put some lights on that he won't think that I have chicken out." Janet said. "Janet, I am so happy that you do this. You will have this…opening and you can't tell where it leads, but it's going to be something better than this past month." Pizza girl said an that moment they both understood that something was burning upstairs. "J, I think something is burning up there?" Pizza girl said. "Yeah, I can smell the smoke. Do you think it's coming from outside?" Janet asked praying that the smell came from outside. "I don't know. What about the door. Is it hot?" Pizza girl asked. Janet was ready to touch to the doorknob but it was really hot. "I think it's my shop that it's burning. Now listen to me. Call Phil. I will call 911. There is some water over there. After the calls we make some kind of plan how to survive from here." Janet said and tried to remain calm. Pizza girl took her phone.
Phil was repairing his tennis rocket air guitar and was whistling one of his favorite Deep Purple songs when phone rang. "Phil here." He answered. "Phil. It's me. We are jammed at Janet's store and we are here at the storage and can't go up because it seems that store is on fire. Janet is calling 911. I think…this looks kind of bad for us." Pizza girl said as tears came pouring from her eyes. "No, no this can't be…we are coming and we help you out of there. Just make sure that you stay where you are, and keep phone line open all the time. We are coming." Phil said and yelled at Eddie who understood right away that something was wrong. "What is it Phiz?" "Girls can't get out of Janet's store and there is fire. We have to go there now." Phil said and was seemingly shocked. "What!" Eddie ran to his truck and was ready to start to drive towards Janet's store as he witnessed Phil to start running towards the town. He followed him with his truck.
