Zay's plan to help the twins reunite Riley and Lucas was hitting dead ends. Everytime they thought they had it something would get in the way. Their biggest obstacle was Riley she would do whatever she could to not be in the same room with Lucas for long periods of time.

Zay chalked it up to a mother's intuition but she knew even though he wouldn't scheme he was helping the twins. Then came their next bump in the road Lucas. Since he didn't go out of town for the summer like usual he was getting more and more calls around town for a vet.

"Mama Riley can I go with Lucas to help him with the animals?" Charlie asked while Riley and him were in the living room playing go fish. She smiles at him handing him her card. "Sure bear I'll asks Lucas if you can go with him."

She knew Lucas would say yes. Charlie had helped Lucas when he stitched up a baby goat that got caught in the fence. Charlie was mesmerized by it all Rosie who was attached to Lucas at the hip wasn't.

Lucas told them the story of why he wanted to be a vet and how he helped deliver a horse. Charlie was captivated by it while Rosie said she wanted to play with them not give birth to them. It was so shocking Pappy Joe spit out his tea he was drinking.

"Can you ask now he's going to leave soon?" Charlie looked up at her with his green eyes and Riley knew she was going to. "Okay I'll asks now no peeking at my cards." She joked getting up and heading to Lucas room.

She knocked on the door opening it and not seeing Lucas anywhere. She was about to head out when his bookshelf caught her attention. She saw multiple copies of the books she wrote and the one she didn't think he would own. She pulls it out and seen it was a copy of the very first book she ever wrote.

It wasn't really a story as it was more short tragic stories. It was actually Elena's idea for Riley to vent all her anger and sadness and everything else she was bottling up from her breakup and put it somewhere. And so she did she wrote it down and it somehow became something more.

It was only intended for her to read but Riley thought maybe she should share it with whoever wanted to read them. They were stories of your typical love story with a twist the main characters never end up together. The last story was really the only happy one.

The girl rescues herself.

"Hey." Lucas tells her shocked when he opens his bathroom door to find her in his room. She drops the book bending down to pick it up the same time Lucas does with their hands touching. "Sorry." Riley tells him pulling her hand back.

He frowns and goes to put the book back but sees her looking at it. "You want to borrow it? It's not a happy story though." He goes to hand it to her but she shakes her head. "No thank you. Why do you have it?" He looked at her curiously and she points at it.

"I mean if it's something sad why read it?" She chews her bottom lip trying not to look at him feeling his eyes on her. He had yet to say anything and it was making her nervous so she changed the subject.

"Forgot I said anything. I came up here because Charlie wants to know if he could go with you on your house calls. He's taken quite a liking to the rescuing animals thing." She lightly laughs tucking her hands in her jeans. "Makes him feel like a superhero."

Lucas chuckles and nods his head. Riley starts to walk away when he finally says something. "In that moment I knew. I knew why the story always looked smudged. It was never our story, it was theirs and I watched it all through the window wishing it was mine."

"That's why." Lucas tell Riley as she turns around with tears pooling in her eyes. "W...What?" She stutters trying to swallow the lump in her throat. "You asked why I read the book. That paragraph it spoke to me made me feel what the writer was feeling. More importantly how she was feeling."

He slowly walks towards her knowing she had to know he knew she was the anonymous writer. He could recognize her anywhere and felt what she was feeling at least he thought he did.

"Hey Luke did mama Riley ask if I could come with you?" Charlie asked walking up and seeing them staring at each other. Riley shook her head and wiped her eyes. "Yes I did and we better go get you ready if you plan to help."

She walks away with him not giving Lucas a second glance. He sighs sitting on his bed and flips through the book looking at all the highlighted passages. "His moment was hers when I thought it was mine. Not all happy endings include you." He shut the book putting it on his nightstand and grabs his vet bag heading downstairs to wait for Charlie.

With Charlie off helping Lucas Riley decided to have a Rosie and Riley day. She took her in town and they went shopping and had lunch at a restaurant on a hill overlooking the town.

"Mama Riley tell me something about mommy?" Rosie asked as they sat in the rocking chair on the porch. Riley smiled caressing her hair as she rocked them. Rosie always asked to hear stories and Riley loved to them whenever she asked.

"Okay my little flower what would you like to hear?" Rosie hummed to herself and smiled at her. "How you and mommy met." She wrapped her arms around Riley as she looked up at her ready to hear the story.

"Well we met the very first day of our campus tour. Your mom use to tell me we were destined to meet since we both had this light dancing around us that drew us together." Rosie giggled as she closed her eyes trying to imagine it. "More. Mama Riley."

"Well let's see. Everyone that was visiting got pushed into this big room and I was so nervous and afraid I sat by myself in the front row looking at my hands." Riley smiled letting the memory of that day play back in her mind as she told Rosie.

Riley was nervous she didn't know where to go and wished she had just told Maya to come with instead of trying to be brave and conquer the tour on her own. She finally found out where they were supposed to go and walked in choosing a seat in the front and staring at her hands.

She sat there waiting to get her dorm number when she saw someone standing in front of her. She looked up to see a brunette haired girl with green eyes smiling at her. Before she could speak the green eye girl shook her head at her.

"Well this won't do." She grabs Riley's hand looking side to side at all the rows of chairs. She smiles when she finds where she wants to sit and pulls Riley down in the spot next to her. Riley didn't know what to do she thought about getting up but didn't want to seem rude. Before deciding she hears the girl next to her laugh.

"I'm sorry. You probably think I'm some crazy wacko who just goes around grabbing people huh?" Riley laughs when she crosses her eyes and sticks out her tongue while tilting her head. "No well.." she laughed lightly when she gives her a look.

"Okay at first I did but you seem normal to me now." They laugh and Riley looks over at a guy who was staring at them. "Yeah he's part of the reason I came over to you. He asked me if I wanted to meet a Kardashian? Apparently he knows them." She starts laughing shaking her head.

"Now if he said Beyoncé maybe but a Kardashian? No thanks." Riley couldn't help smiling and finding this girl amusing and strange all rolled into one. "What was the other reason you came over?" She turns to her and smiles.

"Because.." she looks at her name tag. "Matthews comma Riley I believe we're destined to be in each other's life. Our lights shine brightest when we're together." She turned forward when the dean calls attention to the front and starts talking.

Riley listened when she feels a tap on her leg. The mystery girl hands her a little piece of paper. "My name is Rodriguez comma Elena. But you can call me Elena. You should know p.s I love you is my favorite book and movie. And will harm anyone who hates on it."

Riley giggled as they continued passing notes to each other and getting shushed twice by the dean.

"I knew in that moment I had met someone pretty special. We were pretty inseparable the rest of the trip. Luckily we got assigned the same room but your mom said it was destined we share." Riley looked down at Rosie and seen she had fallen asleep. She lifts her taking her upstairs and kisses her head.

"Mama Riley?" Rosie calls as Riley was about to turn off her light. "Yes rose?" She grabbed her hand clutching it tightly. "Did mommy want to leave us?" Riley looked at her trying to keep the tears away and swallow the lump in her throat.

"No my sweet little flower she didn't." Rosie taps her nose and smiles at Riley. "Mommy loves us from heaven still right?" Riley smiled wiping at her face before answering her. "Yes. Your mom loves you more than anything more than your uncle Auggie loves Ava."

Rosie gasps. "That's a lot." She giggled making Riley smile and kiss her on the head before walking out the room.

Lucas couldn't help smiling as he watched Charlie carefully watch the little puppies that Lucas helped deliver since the mom was howling in pain her owner couldn't understand. He made a check on his little notebook Lucas gave him before they started.

"Well doc how are the patients?" He asked kneeling next to him as he counted the puppies. Charlie smiled wiping his forehead and looked at him. "Doing good doc. I counted and they're all here." Lucas chuckled as he showed him his notebook and went back to counting them again.

He sees Mary the owner smiling at them and gets up ruffling Charlie's hair. "Trixie should rest and stay off her legs for awhile. Two three days should do it." He writes a prescription for her and turns back to Charlie.

"How old is he?" Mary asked as they watched Charlie talking to the mom telling her she would be okay. "He just turned five." Lucas tells her smiling at him. "It's adorable how your son wants to follow in your footsteps at such a young age."

Lucas froze not knowing what to say to her. He could have just said he was a friends kid but then she probably look at him with pity and he didn't want that. And telling someone he isn't my kid but I love his mom who isn't really his mom is even more complicated than that.

"Thank you." He grabbed his bag and turned back to Charlie. "Okay doc let's get going." Charlie grabs his notebook telling Mary all the puppies were there and drawing a smiley face on his notebook paper and gives it to her. "Make sure they get lots of rest and milk."

Lucas chuckled while Mary listened intently to him and gave him some cookie as his payment. Charlie ate them while Lucas drove them back home. "Does everyone pay you in cookies?" He asks munching on one. Lucas laughs taking one when Charlie offers.

"No sadly can't say they do." He tells him taking a bite. "Well they should. I would be happy with that." Charlie tells him with a mouth full of cookie. Lucas shook his head smiling at him in the mirror.

"Hey how about when we get home we grill some steaks and potatoes?" Charlie agreed trying to mimic Lucas by putting his small hand out the window letting the air flow through his fingers.

Riley tapped her pen against her lips as she scrolled through the house listing on her laptop but nothing looked promising. "Hey cotton candy face where are the little ones?" Zay asked walking in the kitchen looking around.

Riley smiled scribbling out something on the notepad next to her laptop. "Your baby cupids in training you mean?" She asked watching Zay's eyes widen as he sat at the table. "I have no clue what you're talking about?"

Riley nodded her head smiling at him. "Sure Zay. Rosie is sleeping and Charlie is with Lucas on a call." Riley looked back at her laptop but could feel Zay's eyes on her still smiling. "So what you looking at?" He asks grabbing her laptop. She sighs sitting back as he looks.

"Moving?" He asked typing in Texas house listings handing it back to her. "Yeah can't live with my uncle Eric forever. I want the twins to have a backyard to play in." She lifts her eyebrow when she sees what he looked up.

"Isaiah Hank really?" Zay chuckles shaking his head. "You know that's not my middle name and you have to admit you feel something or you wouldn't come out here every summer." Riley closed her laptop and looks at him.

"Zay I'm serious nothing is going to happen between Lucas and I. I didn't come here for him that's over with." They turn when they hear someone clear their throat. Zay lowered his head shaking it as they both turned and seen Lucas in the doorway.
