The next morning I woke up to a rapid knocking on the door. I untangled myself from Matt's arms and stumbled down the stairs, brushing my hair from my face I opened the door, and was surprised to see Robbie standing there holding two paper cups, and a bag. "Morning." he kissed my cheek as he stepped into the house.

"Uh..." I stood there for a minute, before I turned and followed him into the kitchen. "Robbie, look-" I said quickly and he looked at me.

"I know this is a little sudden, sure we've only been on a few dates, but everyone in Amity knows how I feel about you and everything, so I was thinking we'd make it official. I know you're pretty busy with everything that's going on, but do you think tonight we can-"

"Robbie." I said loudly and he looked surprised at me. "Robbie, I'm sorry, I should have told you after our first date, but I think-"

"Caroline," Matt called from upstairs as he walked down the stairs. "What's Martin's number?" he stopped at the bottom of the stairs in his boxer shorts and white tee shirt. "Oh, sorry." he said, and Robbie stared at him for a minute.

"You're Caroline's brother?" he asked finally and I let out a small laugh.

"Robbie, don't be dense." I said softly. He looked at me, and I sighed gently. "I'm sorry, I tried to tell you."

"You weren't telling me that you love me?" he asked and I felt my eyes grow wide.

"Matt," I turned to him, just as the phone started to ring. "Matt, will you get that?" I asked and he nodded, before I grabbed Robbie's hand and led him to the back porch.

"So, he's not your brother."

"No." I said softly. "He was my best friend and my first boyfriend." I gave him a meek smile.

"You never stopped loving him, did you?" he asked and I shook my head.

"I'm sorry." I said and he nodded.

"Well, I just made an idiot of myself." he chuckled and I shook my head.

"I'm truly, honestly sorry." I sighed; he nodded, and let out a sigh, running his hand through his dark hair. He looked like he wanted to say something, but stopped himself, turned, and walked off of my porch, and to his car.

"Your husband upset?" Matt asked as he poured some coffee grounds into the coffee maker, and set it on the stove.

"That's not funny Matt." I said and he smiled gently. "What was on the phone?"

"Martin, asking us to meet him at the station." he said and I nodded.

"Okay." I said, feeling bad about Robbie. "I'm gonna go change."

"Caroline," he called and I paused on the stairs. "I'm not going."

"What?" I turned around and looked at him.

"I have a Great White here." he shrugged. "It'd be kind of redundant to go study sharks when this one is proving several theories I'd be trying to prove out there for eighteen months and there's no promise I'd even see one shred of evidence proving me right." he shrugged. "I'll call the doctor after we meet with the mayor." I smiled lightly, and then raised an eyebrow.

"And when did you come to this conclusion?" I asked and he smiled.

"I started to doubt going the minute I saw you trying to talk to Martin. The moment I knew, I was holding that tooth in my hand." he explained, walking closer to me. I smiled gently, and then swallowed.

"You don't say?" I asked and he smiled. "I guess I won't have to wait for you after all." I said, before I leaned in and kissed him.

He kissed me back, slowly at first, but then with more passion, the last time we had kissed, we were both inexperienced teenagers, now the both of us knew what we were doing, and boy did he know what he was doing. I felt him press us against me as we kissed; I ran my fingers through his hair as his hand moved up my waist, towards my chest, when I heard a whistle from the stove.

"Shit." I muttered when he pulled away and turned off the stove.

"We've uh, got to go meet Martin." he reminded me and I nodded, before I moved to the stairs.

"I'm gonna go get changed." I said and he nodded as I went upstairs. Gus was sitting on the kitchen counter staring at him.

"Don't give me that look." he said to the cat, before he went upstairs to the guest room, and found his clothes. He got dressed and did everything he had to do, then went downstairs where I was pouring a mug of coffee for him.

"The road's not too bumpy." I said as I handed it to him and finished off the coffee in my cup. I paused, before handing him a second mug of coffee, knowing Martin would probably need it. Matt followed me out to my car, and I got into the driver's seat, before turning the keys in the ignition and driving to the Sheriff's station.

"Oh, good you're here." Martin said when we walked into the office. Martin looked hung over, tired, and like he was running on fumes.

"I brought you a coffee." I said and handed him a mug of coffee I had brought with us for him, it looks like I had been right.

"Ah, thanks." he said after taking a long drink. "Let's go, Mr. Hooper needs to be back at the institute before this evening." he stood up and went to the jeep.

"Go where?" Matt asked, ignoring the fact that the chief thought he was still leaving the island that afternoon.

"The bluff." Martin said, and Matt looked at me curiously.

"Real touristy point above south beach." I explained. "First victim was found there. Watkins." I nodded, then looked at Martin as we walked outside, ignoring Polly's calls of where were we going. "Why're we going up there?"

"Mayor just called me and asked me to meet him there. Something about the sign." he shrugged and I nodded.
