Zoe sat cross legged on her bed in the carriage house. It was the first time since coming back that she'd been in the house. Not that she minded. It had only been three days since she'd been back. She needed clean clothes so she was going through hers now, with Rose talking a mile a minute. Glancing out the window, Rose stopped talking and looked at Zoe.

"Why is Lemon Breeland walking up to the front door of Wades?"

"Oh, she probably thinks I'm over there." Zoe exclaimed and popped up off the bed. She ran to the door of the Carriage house and opened it. "Lemon, Rose and I are over here!" She called across the pond. Lemon turned her head and nodded.

"Wait, did I miss something? When did you and Lemon Breeland start talking?"

"She's helping me with my George Tucker problem. Which is one of the other reasons that you're here."

"Me? What am I going to do?"

"Help?" Zoe asked laughing. A few minutes later Lemon walked in.

"What on Earth happened here?"

"I'm going through my clothes. I'm staying in Bluebell and well I don't need all these clothes. Well I want them, but if Wade and I are going to be living together, I've got to get rid of some stuff."

"Hold on a minute! Did Zoe Hart just say that she was getting rid of clothes?" The trio turned and came face to face with an olive skinned brunette.

"Lexi!" Zoe exclaimed. A moment later she was hugging her friend. She pulled back and looked at the other two. "Lexi, this is Lemon Breeland and Rose Hattinburger. Ladies, this is one of the most amazing people you will possibly ever know. Lexi Montgomery."

"It's nice to meet you." Lemon said and held out her hand. Lexi rolled her eyes and hugged her, before doing the same to Rose.

"She's a hugger." Zoe said laughing.

"So where can I find this George person and is there a place to hide the body?" Lexi demanded.

"I like her already." Lemon replied and sat on the bed looking at the clothes all over. "So you and Wade are going to be living together?"

"Yes, there's no point in us not. We know where we're headed. We know what we want. So again, the point of us living apart is stupid."

"I do get to meet this Wade right? As your best friend since we were children, I have to approve of him."

"Gonna be hard not to meet him. He's at the Rammer Jammer now, if we want to go get lunch. I'm hungry."

"You're a teenager Rose, of course you're hungry. I can't just leave this mess here!"

"Yes you can. Because when we get back, you can let me have what you don't want. I didn't pack anything. You needed me I came."

"You have nothing?"

"Just my purse. Money, ID, that kind of thing." Lexi told Rose.

"Oh, well, we'll make a stop at the Dixie Stop after we eat."

"You really are hungry." Lemon muttered. Rose just grinned.

"Oh alright!" Zoe groaned. She lead the way out of the Carriage house and left everything the way it was. "Wait..." she stopped and turned to Lexi. "...approve? Since when do you say things like that?"

"Since this is apparently very serious." Lemon and Rose laughed as Zoe just stared. "Also, please tell me we are not walking all the way into town. I just walked a mile before some truck driver heading into this town gave me a lift."

"We can drive. We'll just walk up to Lavon's and use the Navigator. My keys are somewhere over there..." she waved in the direction of the Gate house. "...buried, I think under piles of stuff we were going through last night."

"As long as I don't have to walk." The others just laughed. Lavon wasn't home but that didn't stop Zoe from grabbing the keys.

The Rammer Jammer suddenly got quiet and Wade looked up from what he was doing and smiled when he saw Zoe. He watched as she, Rose, Lemon, and another female, one he didn't recognize sat at a table. One glance at the woman and he knew that was why everyone had stopped talking. He moved from behind the bar and to the table. He kissed Zoe on the top of her head as a greeting.

"Hey Zoe." He turned to the others, "Rose, Lemon, and I'm going out on a limb here, you must be Lexi." Zoe smiled to herself. She tipped her head to the side, and nodded.

"You must be Wade."

"I am. What can I get you ladies to eat?" As they told him what they wanted, George Tucker walked in and if it weren't for the women sitting with her at the table, he would've gone straight to Zoe, told her how he felt about her, let her know he wanted her. Instead he joined Lavon at the bar. He would keep an eye on them. Find out what they were talking about.

Wade was leaving the Rammer Jammer that night when George came up to him. He sighed and keeping the door of his car open, he leaned on the hood, waiting for the man to say something to him. When he didn't, Wade spoke up first.

"What can I do for you Tucker?"

"You know she's going to leave you right?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Zoe, once she realizes that I still love her, she'll leave you. No matter what your history, which lets face it, isn't all that great, she'll leave you. She'll realize that she loves me."

"If that was the case Tucker, then when you came knocking on the door to the Carriage House, why did she ask me to make you go away."

"How would she know about that?"

"Because, she was with me. She didn't come back from New York for you. She didn't give up a three month job in New York for you. She didn't walk away from the party she was at for you. She did it for me. I'm not letting her go this time Tucker. If it's a war you want, you'll get it, because this time, I'm fighting for what I want. What I love, and what I love, is Zoe Hart."

"You'll lose to me Kinsella, you always do." George said as Wade got in his car and started it. Wade ignored him and headed towards home. Where he knew, his woman would be waiting on him. Where he would properly meet the woman that she called her sister, by all but blood. Where he had a feeling Lemon Breeland was as well. He didn't mind because he had Zoe, and that was how it was going to stay.

A/N Okay, I'm sorry it's been a while since I updated, but here it is. The next chapter. Things are heating up in Bluebell now and it's going to be fun to write it all out. It's in my head and I know where I want to go. I have the basics written down. Anyways. I hope you've enjoyed this chapter. I don't normally do this, but what do you all think of Lexi? There is a lot about her that I am going to be sharing in upcoming chapters, so we will get to know her, I just want to know what you all think of her so far. Share your thoughts if you want to. - Jessi
