Just a little somethin' while I am working on the second date. Lavon needs to be updated, after all. Thanks for all the lovely reviews. Can't wait to hear more!

Chapter 4:
Wade walked into Lavon's kitchen. Lavon was sitting there reading the paper when he came in. Lavon promptly put the paper down and looked at Wade, waiting for him to spill.
Wade didn't say anything. He went to the refrigerator and got some milk. Lavon watched as Wade filled his cereal bowl and poured the milk in. Lavon couldn't read him – whether the night before went well or not.
"Come on, man. Why you doing this to your friend, Lavon?" The mayor finally broke down. "What happened with Zoe?"
Wade was hunched over the island and he looked up with a devilish grin. "A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell."
"Awww yeah, so there was kissin'?" Lavon walked over and slapped Wade on the back a little harder than intended.
Wade coughed. "Geez Lavon!"
"Sorry, I'm just happy for you two."
Wade smiled. "I'm takin' her out again today."
Lavon looked approvingly. "A second date. Damn, Wade."
"I'm gonna show that girl some good ole fashion Southern wooing." Wade smirked at him.
"Good for you Wade." Lavon said laughing. "You need the navigator again?"
"You mind? I'd like to go as long as possible without Bluebell all up in this."
"Nah, take it." Lavon headed towards the door.
Wade looked at him curious. "Where you headed?"
"I gotta go see Zoe." Lavon said as he walked out.
Wade threw a towel at the door and shook his head.
Addie watched Zoe all morning. She and Brick both noticed she seemed to be an awfully good mood. They hadn't ever seen her like this, but if there was a reason, Zoe wasn't spilling.
Lavon walked in to the office a little before lunch. "Hey Addie, is Zoe here?"
Addie nodded. "She's finishing up with Mrs. Davis. She should be out in a minute. You know what has her in such a good mood today?"
Lavon put on his best poker face. "Nah. Why?"
"That girl has been walkin' around here all mornin' like she won first prize at the fair."
Lavon shrugged. "Huh, really?"
Just then the exam room door opened and Zoe walked out. "Now just take it easy the next few days Mrs. Davis. Lots of fluids. If you aren't feeling better in a few days, give me a call."
She walked over to the reception desk where Lavon was. "Hey Lavon, you here for lunch?"
"Uh yeah, you hungry?" He answered taking her in. She was practically glowing.
"Starving! Let's go." She grabbed his arm. "Addie, I'll be back before Mrs. Boudreaux comes in. You want me to bring anything back for you?"
Addie still eyed her curiously. "No, I brought my lunch."
Lavon and Zoe walked out of the office. "So?" Lavon pounced on her the minute they were out of earshot.
Zoe smiled at Lavon. After she told him about their date, Lavon nodded approvingly. "Not bad. That boy sure knows how to redeem himself."
With wide eyes Zoe nodded deeply at him in return. "I know!"
Lavon laughed and put his arm around her. "Y' know Zoe Hart, things just might be starting to look up for you in Bluebell."
She looked down and smiled a little shyly. "Maybe they are."
Next up? The second date. Stay tuned...
