Before you read this, I've started a new story which is basically a compilation of one shots from the POV of other characters. The first chapter is already up and it's about Spencer's reaction to seeing Wren at the hospital in the last chapter. I promise, you won't be lost if you don't read it, but if you're a Spencer fan, you might like it!

NYLON ~ FORTY-SIX ~ YOU LOOK NICE

Caleb let himself into the foyer and tapped loudly on the console table to announce his arrival.

"Hanna?" he called out.

"In here!" she yelled back.

He followed her voice into the nursery where she was changing JT into a new outfit.

"You look nice," Caleb commented on her salmon capri pants paired with a teal button down and a cream blazer.

"Thanks," Hanna flashed him a smile. "I'm presenting my book today so I need good energy."

"You certainly look the part," he told her picking up JT.

"Dada," JT giggled bouncing up and down in his dad's arms.

"Everything is in the diaper bag," Hanna said handing him the large canvas bag, "I'll see you again at five?"

"Yupp," Caleb smiled. "I took the rest of the day off. I could bring over dinner when we come back."

"That would be amazing!" Hanna told him. "I definitely won't have time to make anything."

"Sure thing," Caleb said.

"Alright," she kissed JT's forehead. "Bye baby. See you soon!"

Hanna rushed out the door and jumped into a cab to take her uptown to Andrew's office. She arrived a few minutes early for their appointment and took a seat in the lobby until Andrew came out to greet her.

"Hanna!" he smiled pulling her in for a hug. "Let me take you back to the conference room."

"I'm a little nervous," she said approaching the long table in the corner office.

"Don't be," he assured her. "It's just you, myself, and our VP. Nothing to be scared of."

"Okay," she took a deep breath and sat down at the head of the table next to Andrew.

The VP came in a few minutes later and Andrew went into his pitch. Hanna handed him the first chapter and gave him an abbreviated summary on the rest of the book. She watched as his face contorted giving no indication of either interest or apathy. When the pitch was finally over the VP, whose name she couldn't even remember, got up and shook her hand.

"It was a pleasure, Hanna," he said.

"Thank you," she replied. "Pleasure was all mine."

"You did great," Andrew told her when they were finally alone. "Care for a celebratory drink?"

"I'm still not drinking," she reminded him.

"I know," he smiled. "There's a shop on the corner that makes custom tonics."

"That sounds…safe," she mused.

"Trust me," he replied. "It's all natural. Basically just tea that's supposed to make you happy. It's west coast stuff."

"I guess it can't hurt," she smiled following him out.

Andrew slipped a hand around her waist and led her into the elevator which opened out onto the street. She followed him as they made their way down a few blocks until they reached a tiny shop with eccentric décor.

"This is it," Andrew said showing her inside where they ordered drinks before sitting at a rickety table.

"It's surprisingly good," Hanna said taking her first sip.

"I'm glad you like it," he replied. Then he glanced at his phone. "Oh! Good news, the big man likes your book."

"Really?" Hanna squealed.

"Yupp," Andrew smiled.

"He's hard to read," she replied. "I couldn't really tell."

"Well, you got it," he told her. "Six month book deal. Cheers to that."

"Cheers!" Hanna clinked her glass with his. He looked at her longingly as he sipped his drink. Her eyebrows narrowed. "What?"

"You're different now," he told her setting his glass back down.

"How so?" Hanna asked.

"You're not the Hanna I remember," he explained. "You think more."

"Uh…thanks?" she said hesitantly.

"I didn't mean that in a bad way," he said quickly. "You just remind me of someone…you're kind of like Spencer."

"Shut your mouth," Hanna snapped at him. "I am not like Spencer."

"That's it right there," he told her. "In high school you would have just told me off and walked away. Now you're playing those mind games. Just like Spencer did."

"You are walking on thin ice, mister," she told him.

"I know," he laughed. "We should probably wrap this up before I really step in it."

"Yeah," Hanna said getting up and slinging her bag over her shoulder. "This was nice, though."

Andrew followed her out to the street where she attempted to hail a cab.

"Did you drive here?" he asked.

"Nope," she replied. "Hence the cab."

"Let me take you home," he said. "I'm parked a couple blocks away at the office."

"Do you mind?" she asked. "It's kind of far."

"It's on my way," he replied.

"How do you know…?" she raised an eyebrow.

"It's in your paperwork," he replied. "Now, can I please take you home?"

"Sure," she caved and followed him the two blocks back to his car. They climbed into his luxury black sedan and he turned onto the main road. They made small talk until he pulled up in front of her building.

"Let me walk you," he said parking on the street and getting out to open her door.

"Thank you," she said stepping out of the car.

"You're welcome," Andrew said giving her a hand. She stood up onto the pavement. There was hardly an inch separating them. In a split second, his lips were on hers. In shock, Hanna hesitated but then melted in his strong arms. She slipped her arms around his neck and rose to her tiptoes.

"Woah," he said when they finally pulled apart. "I've been wanting to do that ever since I saw you again."

"I should go," she said. She flashed him one last smile and then disappeared into the building.


"Hello! Hello!" Caleb called stepping out of the elevator.

"My little man!" Hanna laughed running in to see JT. She picked him up out of Caleb's arms and bounced him up and down.

"I've got dinner," Caleb said holding up a bag of takeout.

"Smells great," she replied.

"You changed," Caleb said noticing she was now wearing sweatpants instead of her previous color coordinated outfit.

"Yeah," she laughed playing with JT. "This is way more comfortable."

"You looked nice," he said grabbing plates from the hutch. "How did the meeting go."

"Really good actually," she replied. "They offered me a book deal."

"Do you want Mommy to write a book?" he asked JT who just giggled in reply.

"Did he nap today?" Hanna asked.

"No," Caleb replied.

"Yeah, he looks pretty tired," she said getting up. "I'm going to put him down and I'll be out in a minute."


"Shhh," Hanna pressed a finger to her lips. "He's asleep."

"Poor guy," Caleb said handing her a plate full of Chinese. "We had a long day at the park."

"Thank you for taking him," Hanna replied. "This meeting was really important."

At that moment her phone beeped. She gestured for Caleb to hand it to her. He took a look at the phone lying next to him on the table and then gave her a quizzical look before handing it to her.

"What?" she grabbed it and read a text message from Andre: I don't regret that kiss. She looked up at Caleb. "Oh."

"Oh, is right," he told her. "What does that mean?"

"Andrew kissed me," she admitted. "It was after our meeting. I don't really know what happened but I left immediately after."

"Was it good?" Caleb asked.

"I don't know if I should answer that," she replied. She thought about it for a minute. "I guess you were right, though. Don't take this the wrong way but, kissing him was exciting, something we haven't had in a long time."

"Do you remember?" he asked her. "Back when we were kids and there was all this sexual tension. We kind of lost that when JT was born. There was a different kind of excitement, we were gonna be parents and then the focus shifted to JT. It's like we couldn't think of anything other than that."

"It's kind of weird that we can talk candidly like this," Hanna told him. "I don't think this is normal."

This is it! Andrew made his move so stay tuned to see what happens. At least Haleb are friends now and who knows, that relationship could grow!

Like I said, you won't be lost if you don't read it, but it's a good preview for the next chapter which will be up by Wednesday, if not earlier ;)
