Molly and Dave smiled brightly as they both made their rounds through the party making sure everyone was having a good time and drinks were filled. Things were perfect. Everything except the fact that the guests of honor were indisposed. Chris was locked in the bedroom where the only sound was the tv. Mel on the other hand had left the premise completely and now no one could find her.

"Hey Molly, I'm getting a weird vibe here. Where's my sister?" Autumn asked as she strolled in the kitchen.

"I'm not really sure."

Autumn handed Jericho her box of liquor and he took it with one arm while pushing a dolly of boxes into the room. Autumn turned back to Molly. "What do you mean you don't know where she is?"

Molly looked around before she spoke making sure no one could hear her. "She left early this afternoon to run some errands and would be right back. That was almost five hours ago."

Autumn frowned. "That doesn't sound right."

"I know. I'm worried but I don't want to alarm anyone."

Melony sat at a local bar, her emotions running wild. Right now she should be at her house with her husband enjoying the party. But she found herself sitting in a dark corner of the bar wishing she could change her entire past. Not the part where she met, fell in love with and married Chris but the part where she let him down. She took a sip of the warm Tequila Sunrise in front of her and cringed. She didn't know why she was here she just knew she couldn't go home yet.

"Is this seat taken?" A familiar voice rang out, hesitantly she looked up knowing exactly who she would find there.

"You know I get the distinct feeling that you are stalking me."

Brock sat down next to her. "And I get the distinct feeling that you have a lot on your mind."

"If you think it's about you, you are sadly mistaken. You know you have a lot of nerve showing your face around here. What are you doing here anyways?"

Brock laughed. "Looking for you of course."

"Why?" She eyed him suspiciously.

"You dropped this at my hotel room." Brock handed over a credit card.

"My credit card! But you could have just returned it to the company." She tucked it in her purse.

"Yeah I could have, but I wanted to make sure you got it without any problems." He smiled. "And before you ask. I memorized your address when you showed me your license. I knew you lived close to here but I had no idea you would be here when I came in. I just checked into the hotel down the street and decided to come in here for a drink."

"Well, I guess I owe you a thank you. But you should have just returned it to the company." She swirled her drink around in the glass and took a sip.

He frowned and waived the waitress over and ordered a beer. "And miss seeing you. I don't think so. I told you I wouldn't give up that easily. Besides it looks like I arrived just in time."

"What the hell does that mean?" She suddenly snapped.

"Well, apparently your new husband isn't the man you thought he was if you are sitting here all sad and drinking alone." He smirked and took a long swig from the bottle in front of him.

"Chris is twice the man you'll ever be!"

"Calm down Mel. You want to talk about it?"

She sighed and shook her head. All she wanted was to sit there in peace and sort over the past two days in her mind. Not that there was that much to mull over. She knew Chris was just in a fowl mood because of Brock and she couldn't blame him. After all it was Chris that was there to pick up the pieces after Brock walked out on her. It was Chris that looked out for her on the road, in the ring, and did all he could to comfort her and help her move on. So she could very well understand that he felt threatened that Brock had just shown up with no warning. Mel just wished she could erase all the doubt he had about marriage, mainly their marriage. Nothing stung her more than to hear that all this brought up his insecurities.

"Not with you I don't. I need to get home. Thanks for the card." She stood to leave and Brock grabbed her arm.

"Leave with me. Let's just go away from here, from everything. We'll go down to the Bahamas and forget it all. What do you think?"

Mel rolled her eyes. "I think you have lost your mind. Now let me go."

"Not until you tell me you still love me."

"But I don't. I love Chris and only Chris." Mel tried to free herself from his grasp, not that he was hurting her just making her uncomfortable.

"Tell yourself whatever you need to, but you and I both know you'll never stop loving me." He tugged her arm bringing her dangerously close to him. "Just like I'll never stop loving you." In one swift move his lips were crushing hers in a kiss. She tried pulling away but his free hand was cupping her neck making it impossible for her to break the kiss. And when he finally did release her she slapped him with a vengeance and stormed out. Brock only laughed and finished his beer.

Outside Melony was fumbling with her car keys when Autumn pulled up. "Hey, I've been looking for you everywhere. Are you ok?"

Mel swiped at the tears running down her cheeks. "Yeah. I'm just on my way home now."

"Why don't you let me take you?" Autumn got out of her car and walked over taking the keys from her sister's trembling hand. "What's wrong?"

Melony pushed her hair out of her face. "Nothing, I just had a run in with Brock. But I handled it."

"Yeah right." Autumn retorted.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean? It's none of your damn business anyway." Mel snatched her keys and got into her car.

"It's my business when I have to come looking for you because no one knows where you are, your husband is drunk and locked in his room and your house is full of guests."

Caught completely off guard and anger brewing from within, there was nothing for Mel to say. Thus she peeled out of the parking lot on her way home to try to salvage what was left of her marriage.
