'Yes but No. I was thinking about just pretending.'
That was one of the few moments that Shelby had seen Caleb completely shocked and she didn't get a quip back.
For their little plan to work she would have to spend the night sometime, that much was clear. But what both of them hadn't counted on was that Clay would stay at the Farm that exact night.
Right when Shelby wanted to leave the duo heard the door downstairs. 'He is here?! Why is he here tonight?' Shelby panics and Caleb just grins at her. 'Then you stay here, too and we can get the charade over with tomorrow.'
The duo spend the night talking to each other for the first time in forever but stayed with the safe topics. Berkeley, future, hopes and dreams.
Caleb, knowing his brother suggested to get up really early and just get on with the show. She hesitated when he told her get out of the sweats and maybe grab his house coat before coming downstairs. 'If I remember correctly that nice piece you are wearing under my clothes will sell this story better than they will.' he teases with a smile and saunters out the room and down the stairs.
"Shake it off! It is the right thing to do after that speech!" Shelby tries to motivate herself as she slips out of the boroed sweats.
JFClay junior ... Don't you sleep?
She hears their voices drift upstairs and she knows she has to move. "you can do this." Runs as a silent mantra and when she rounds the corner she can see his hurt expression.
She acts her way through a pretty unconvincing bit about having feelings for Caleb. Well she at least never says the words. Clay is just drawing his own conclusions. She is still in a daze when Caleb summarizes:
That worked?!
It did. We should get dressed ... head to the bunker.
Actually I think it's time that I head back to school. ... You did the right thing.
Okay truth time: This is short but it is the best stopping point I could think of and I am seriously pissed off about the last episode. When you are looking for someone call their fiancée! Or did Shelby fall on her head and forget what kind of advice she gave Maxine?! Fingers crossed we get an explanation or maybe a Max/Shelby conversation in the finale.
