It was a few days after I tried to apologize to Spencer again. I was pulling into the driveway after making a run to the hardware store. I probably shouldn't have been driving with a broken arm but it was only quick trip. I was shocked when I saw that Mona's car was in the driveway and both my parent's cars were gone.

"Hey, Toby," Mona greeted me as she got out of her car.

"Mona, what are you doing here? I thought I was supposed to meet you at your place tomorrow?"

"I'm not here about that." She shook her head. "Spencer wants to talk to you and I agreed to give her a ride over here."

"Hi," Spencer said quietly and I hadn't even noticed her get out of the car and make her way over to us.

"Hey, Spence," I replied hoping she didn't hear how nervous I sounded. But knowing her she definitely did.

"Can we talk?" She asked and she sounded nervous as well.

"Sure, do you want to go inside or we can talk in the truck?" I suggested.

"We can talk in the truck." Spencer nodded.

"I'll wait in the car. But don't worry, take your time." Mona told us and then she disappeared back into her car.

Usually I would hold Spencer's hand or place mine on the small of her back. I knew that she was independent and didn't need help but that wasn't the reason I did it. But now I didn't know what to do and I felt like I was walking on eggshells around her. I didn't like this one bit and I wanted more than anything for things to go back to the way they were.

"Look, just so you know, I am still hurt by what you said." Spencer stated as soon as we got in the truck.

"Then why are you here?" I asked.

We had talked about this so much and I didn't know what to say anymore. I just wanted to make things better. But Spencer was so stubborn and could hold a grudge for years if she wanted to.

"Because I missed you. Shutting you out is killing me." She confessed. "I want to forgive and forget. I really do, Toby. I'm just not ready; I don't want to risk getting hurt again."

"So you came here to tell me you're not ready to be here." I stated and smirked and the irony.

"Something like that." She laughed quietly.

I knew it was taking a big leap and there was a chance that Spencer might smack me but I did it anyway. I scooted over on the bench seat and held the back of her head as I kissed her. Spencer returned the kiss immediately as if the past week and a half hadn't happened.

"I've missed you too, Spence." I said when we broke apart. "And I'll do whatever I need to do to earn your trust back."

"I do trust you, Toby. That hasn't changed." She told me. "I should get going. I need to study for a huge test tomorrow."

I shook my head as she opened the truck door. Spencer would ace that test even if she only studied for five minutes before hand. She jumped down from the seat and I reached across and grabbed something from the glove compartment.

"Spencer, wait a second." I called out and she turned back around.

"What?" She asked in surprise.

"I love you." I told her.

I placed a kiss on her cheek and then slipped the item from the glove compartment into the bag hanging from her arm. She embraced me in a short hug and then I walked her back to Mona's car. I stood in the driveway and watched the two girls drive off and then got back in my truck.

"Where's your favorite place to go in Rosewood?" Spencer asked me.

"I don't really care for anywhere in town. But I guess you could say my favorite place in would be the library." I shrugged.

"Is there a place you like in Rosewood that's not in town?"

"Ever drive up the backway out of Rosewood? You know the windy road that people hardly use? Well, there's a spot up there by the 'Welcome to Rosewood' sign. It's at the top of a hill and you get an awesome view of the town. I like going there to get away and think."

"That sounds nice."

"If I'm not at home I'm usually there or at the library. I could show you sometime if you want. It's really beautiful." I told her.

I wanted to add 'just like you' but I didn't.

"I'd love to see it, but only if you're sure you want to share it. I know how hard it can be to find a place to be alone."

"I'm sure." I nodded. "But actually I didn't find it. My mom showed it to me a year before she…we used to go there a lot. Sometimes it's lonely without her so it might be nice to have someone else there."

"You and your mom were really close weren't you?" She commented.

"Yeah we were."

"I wish I knew what that was like." She sighed.

I missed my mom a lot and wished that I could have more time with her. But seeing how Spencer was with her mom made me even more thankful for the time that I did have with mine.

"Maybe you will. People can always change." I tried to be comforting.

"People change but the Hastings family is a different story." She shook her head.

"But you've changed. Before you just stood in Alison's shadow and now you show more of who you really are."

"I didn't really change; you just got to know me better and I got tired of Alison's crap." She denied.

"Well whether you changed or not, I know a different Spencer than the rest of Rosewood. And I'm glad I do."

"And I'm glad I was smart enough to see past how everyone else sees you." She smiled.

"Toby?"

I turned around and saw Spencer standing a few feet away from me.

I was in the library and sitting where Spencer and I used to sit when we would come here together.

"Spencer, how'd you know I'd be here?" I asked her.

"I didn't." She shrugged as she sat down beside me. "I wanted to talk to you again. I had Mona drive me back to your place and she said your truck was gone. So, I figured you'd be here or at the hill."

"You know me too well." I laughed quietly.

"I just have a really good memory." She shrugged again. "And if my memory serves me right, you told me why you liked the hill. But you never told me exactly why you like the library."

"Isn't it obvious? I met you here." I mumbled and I stared at the ground.

"What about before that?" She asked and she let her hair fall in front of her face. I was pretty sure it was to hide a blush.

"It was a place to come and read a book."

"Shut up, flattery doesn't work on me." She laughed quietly.

"I beg to differ." I laughed as well.

"I found your card." She told me suddenly. "Smart move, putting it in my textbook. Mona read it to be and to be honest I didn't even realize the date until then."

"Spencer Hastings didn't notice today's date? I find that hard to believe, especially since it's a very popular holiday."

"Yeah well, I've never actually celebrated Valentine's Day with someone. Although, last year Jason did take me to a fancy restaurant as a joke."

"Me neither. And I was kind of hoping to change that this year. I bought the card, wrote in it, and added some detail a few weeks ago. I decided to keep in on hand just in case. I slipped it in your bag when you got out of the truck." I admitted.

"You bought a Valentine's Day card a few weeks ago? Early bird much?" She teased.

"Hey that stuff has been in stores since Christmas." I stated defensively.

"Ugh I know. And tomorrow they'll probably have stuff for St. Patrick's Day and Easter if they don't already." She shook her head.

"Yeah, you're probably right. But back to Valentine's Day, did you like it? I know things aren't exactly what they were before. But I figured since we're trying to fix things that it couldn't hurt."

"I thought it was sweet. And I sort of feel bad for not getting you anything."

"Don't worry about it. Like you said, you didn't realize the date. Plus, I imagine you haven't been feeling romantic and loving lately." I assured her. "Besides, I'm the one that screwed up and needs to make up for it somehow."

"Well, I have plenty of ideas for how you can make it up to me." She stated with a slight evil grin.

"What are they?" I asked skeptically because I could tell she was planning something.

"First, buy me coffee for life." She demanded and I couldn't help but laugh.

"I think I can do that."

"Another idea, we promise each other that we won't use the garage fire in an argument ever again."

"I promise, Spence. And hopefully we never have an argument like that again either." I told her with all sincerity as I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Any other ideas?"

"I'll let you know. Now let's go get that coffee you owe me."

An hour later I dropped Spencer off at her house. I walked her to the back door and we stood and talked for a few minutes.

"I had a good time tonight." Spencer smiled.

"Me too. I know things won't go back to the way they were immediately. But I'm glad you didn't completely give up on me."

"I could never do that, Toby. I love you, no matter how mad and upset I am with you."

"I love you too, Spence." I said giving her a quick kiss.

I pulled away and Spencer started to laugh. I had no clue what she found so funny.

"What?"

"I just thought that's a little funny that we settled a week and a half long fight on Valentine's Day of all days. Wait until Hanna hears this. She'll use this as proof that every romance movie and love story is true." She told me and then started to laugh again.

"Only a week and a half? It felt like forever." I commented as I started to laugh myself.

We talked for a few more minutes and then we kissed goodnight. I started to walk away when…

"Toby, wait a second." She called out just like I had when she got out of the truck earlier.

"Yeah, Spence?"

"The card you gave me. It said 'Won't you be mine? I'm already yours.' Well, you are mine and I'll always be yours. No matter what." She told me with a huge smile.

"No matter what." I agreed as I gave her one last kiss for the night that topped all the others today.

Ok they made up on Valentine's Day, I know that's probably lame, cliché, and cheesy. But I don't care. The card we saw in Season 3 I thought was sweet and wanted it in the story. But I have to be honest with you, I'm a little bummed that the last two chapters only got two reviews. Hopefully Spoby being back together (no matter how cliché) will get you reviewing more. See you Friday!
