Colin and I flew back to Canada on the same day as everyone else returned from Hawaii. No one brought up the subject of my anxiety attack but I could feel several pairs of concerned eyes watching me whenever I came across fellow cast members.

A reporter from Good Morning America had arrived as well and was preparing for a live interview with several of the key cast members the next morning. I had agreed to do the interview as well as Lana, Colin, Ginny, and Josh. Anthony and Adam had decided that was enough of a crowd for one interview and made the cut-off there. Personally, I thought they should've put on Georgina and Elizabeth for the Frozen angle that was being added in the new season.

At least I had a sexy outfit already prepared, thanks to Lana.

There was a knock on my door around dinner time.

"Jen, come along," Ginny said briskly. "Put on some nice clothes and grab your purse."

I stared evenly at her for a couple of seconds. I had to choose my battles with Ginny. She was very stubborn. I didn't envy Josh sometimes.

"Are you going to tell me where we're going?" I asked as I changed shirts.

"If I did then you wouldn't come," Ginny said with a grin. "So put on those cute wedge boots of yours and let's get going."

I rolled my eyes but obediently put on the boots. Ginny linked arms with me as we walked down the hallway to the elevators. Josh and Colin were waiting for us there. I gazed at Colin with an amused smile. He responded by winking.

"What exactly is going on here?" I asked with a cocked eyebrow.

"We're going out to dinner," Ginny said. "Just the four of us. And we're going to talk about some issues that have been ignored for a while now."

"Oh that's ominous," Colin laughed. "I'm not airing my skeletons to you, Ginny. They are in that closet to stay."

"Be serious, Colin," Ginny scolded.

"You know me, Ginny, I'm never serious," Colin laughed.

"Let's get going," Josh suggested.

I dropped Ginny's arm as she and Josh stepped onto the elevator first. The doors started to close and I stepped forward but Colin grabbed my hand and pulled me back. The doors closed before Ginny could do anything to stop them.

"What are you trying to do?" I asked, amused. "Ginny's just going to come find us again."

"No, she's not, love," Colin winked. "Because we are going to disappear. And for her benefit, we will be talking. Just not with her and Josh."

"I don't like talking," I said.

"I know, Jen," he laughed. "I do know you, remember?"

"You do?" I teased. "But we've barely met."

"Remember when we first met? When I first came on the show?" he asked with a grin.

I giggled. It was a rather girly sound, completely unlike myself. Colin grabbed my hand and pulled me at a run towards the back staircase.

"Do I remember?" I laughed for real. "Of course."

"Hardly any of the actors or actresses met me before my first scene," Colin laughed.

"The aftermath of the attack," I continued with a nod. "We had already blocked the beginning of the scene without you and then we were filming and moved aside the bodies and all of a sudden you were there."

"The shock on your face was real," he grinned. "It took everything in me; all of my acting skills, not to burst out laughing."

"You were a great addition to the show," I smirked. "Always keeping us laughing until we had stitches in our sides."

The night air was a cold blast of surprise as we walked out the door at the bottom of the staircase and started down the street. Colin was leading the way. I had no idea where he was planning to go. I just hoped that Ginny wouldn't be too upset with us for ditching. Josh would probably be happy to have her alone for an evening. I was assuming they'd gotten a babysitter for Baby Oliver.

A few seconds later I got a text.

Ginnifer: For heaven's sake, you'd better be getting some quality time in with Colin. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you two for ditching us like that.

Jennifer: Ginny, you know I don't like discussions or group dates and you were planning something that was both. You were asking for trouble. But yes, Colin and I are getting in quality time. Not that we didn't get enough quality time during the vacation.

Ginnifer: Josh says I should just let you two do your own thing. But you and I need to talk later. Your anxiety attack was serious. Josh and I are worried.

Jennifer: I know. Seriously though, stop acting like my parents. That's on the show not in real life. Plus you're like the same age as me.

Ginnifer: But we're friends and I care about you. So we will talk. Whether you like it or not. I have bribes.

Jennifer: Whatever haha. Enjoy some time with Josh.

Colin led me through the doors of the local diner and we sat in our usual booth. A waitress was with us in a matter of seconds. That was the plus side of having a handsome famous guy with you. No one rushed to serve me, but Colin always got extra special attention.

We both ordered and stared at each other after the waitress had rushed off.

"Are you ready for the interview?" he asked finally, taking a sip of his soda.

"As ready as I'll ever be. I'm not prepared for the questions about Lance though. It's still a rough subject."

"Same here, only I'm nervous about the questions about Helen and my boy."

"I'm sorry, Colin."

"It's not your fault."
