A little glimpse into Will's life, and my take on the heart event.

Summer faded away, and with it beautiful colors burst through the leaves. Autumn painted its glory across the landscape. Rachel found Autumn in Echo Town enchanting. Everything had it's own beauty. The air was less sweltering, and it was much easier to get the animals to cooperate with her.

She still struggled with her memories. They haunted her at times. She found herself drawn to the mansion in the afternoons. She loved the topiary gardens and how green they looked against the bright colors of Autumn. There was also a certain servant that she enjoyed seeing.

"Nice to see you again Miss Rachel,"'Sanjay greeted. Rachel smiled at the greeting. Sanjay was always the perfect gentleman.

"I hope I'm not intruding," Rachel replied. "I know this is the third time this week, but..." She looked down at the ground.

"Not at all, we always love visitors. These gardens are too beautiful not to share with others," Sanjay said. "However today Amir is away."

"Oh well, does that mean I have to go?" Rachel asked.

"Not at all," Sanjay assured. Sanjay looked at the nervous girl standing in front of him. It was quite adorable when she blushed. He looked forward to seeing Rachel, and was glad she was finally coming around more often, even if it were just to look at the gardens. "Would you like to join me for some tea?"

"I-I'd like that a lot," Rachel stammered. He held his hand out to her. Shyly Rachel accepted it. Once again feeling a jolt when they touched.

"So you really don't remember your past?" Sanjay asked.

"Not at all," Rachel answered. "To tell you the truth it's terrifying."

"I imagine it is," Sanjay replied. "Well I certainly hope, for my sake, there is no husband or significant other waiting for you to remember them." Rachel blushed. While there had always been light flirtation, he had never before been so direct with her.

"Me too," Rachel said with a shy smile. Something about Sanjay made her feel safe. She could almost forget for a moment all the haunting memories, and the dread of remembering.

Sanjay led her into the house. Rachel had never seen a place so beautiful in her life before. The floor was lined with white sparkling marble there was luscious blue and purple rugs laying regally across them. In the middle of the large entrance area there was a white marble fountain flanked by two large staircases. Gorgeous paintings hung on the walls, and white furniture was lined against the walls. Rachel felt like she was vastly underdressed to be in such a beautiful place. Thankfully she'd thrown on clean clothes before coming here.

"Come with me, the kitchen is in the back here." He led her to the doorway directly across from them. Rachel watched every step, worried to leave behind traces of dirt.

"How do you not worry about making things dirty?" Rachel asked.

"Ah that," Sanjay said. "We have the most wonderful maids here. The head maid is quite good at making sure this place stays clean. I must admit I'm bad at it. I trek in here some days all dusty after working with my alpacas." Rachel giggled at the thought. She had not imagined a man such as he, would leave a mess. Sanjay walked over to the stove and placed a beautiful ornate teapot on the stove. She say down on one of the lush stools next to an island counter.

"Thank you so much for inviting me to tea," Rachel said. She was not sure what else to say. In truth she felt awkward. She wasn't really sure how one was supposed to act in a setting as formal as this one.

"You're very welcome," Sanjay replied.

"This is a very lovely home," Rachel quipped.

"You can relax," Sanjay assured. The poor girl looked like she was going up jump out of her skin. He recognized the look of intimidation. Many people felt intimidated in these surroundings.

"Sorry. I've just never been anywhere so fancy before. Well at least not that I can remember. I mean this is a really fancy place," Rachel rambled. Instantly she covered her mouth with her hands. How silly he must think she is. To her surprise Sanjay smiled. It was a stunning and dazzling smile.

"There we go, now that is the real you. Is it not?" Sanjay chuckled. Rachel felt the heat in her cheeks rising again. Sanjay simply smirked. He was going to enjoy this afternoon's tea immensely.

The smell of cheesecake wafted through Heartful Lyla. Jack found his mouth watering. He hadn't had this much home cooking in his life ever. Jack's mother had been less worried about being a homemaker and more interested in partying. His father had attempted to fill in the gaps, but was only good at making macaroni and ramen noodles. Usually had been fast food or take out. Jack had continued that into his later years. On his assignment undercover as a farmer he'd learned to make simple dishes, but nothing to the caliber that Lyla made it.

Sweet little pink haired Lyla had such a crush on him. Jack knew with each passing day it was growing. He'd seen the romance novels she read. The kind with a shirtless hero on the cover. Lyla would look at him starry eyed as if he were one of those heroes. Jack knew he was no one's Romeo. He was the love em and leave em type. With a woman as beautiful as Lyla, normally he would have been all for a little fling. But even he knew that was not what Lyla was looking for. Lyla wanted to play for keeps. So instead he entertained himself with her innocent blushes, and cute attempts at flirtation.

"I've made some cheesecake," Lyla called over to Jack. "Why don't you take a break and join me?"

"I think I might just do that," Jack replied. He sauntered up to the counter of the store. She held up a piece of cheesecake on a plate. He smiled at her plates that were decorated with small pink hearts. Lyla took a bite of the cheesecake, Jack followed suit. He'd never tasted anything as good as this cheesecake in his entire life.

"This is incredible!" Jack praised. Lyla smiled feeling pleased with herself. Her mama had always said to win a man's heart you have to win over his stomach. Jack noticed a small smudge of cream cheese on her cheek.

""You've got something here,"
Jack said, pointing to the corresponding spot on his cheek.

"Oh!" Lyla gasped. She picked up her napkin and began wiping her cheek. She managed to hit every spot but the spot with food on it.

"Here," Jack said. "Let me." He gently took the napkin and wiped her face. She sat motionless staring into his eyes. Jack felt the magnetic pull of an attractive woman wanting to be kissed. He slowly inched his face forward. In his mind he knew this was a bad idea, but for some unknown reason was powerless to stop it. Thankfully at that moment the bells on the door jangled. Jack quickly jumped back. He had never been so relieved to see a customer than he had been at that moment.

"Welcome to Heartful Lyla," she greeted as cheerily as she could. For Lyla the interruption had been a disappointment. She only hoped that little scene would play out to its finish soon.

The curtains were drawn just the way Chelsea needed them to be. In the afternoons she'd often get raging migraines, if too much light was let in, they would become more unbearable. As she lay bedridden, she knew her time was coming to an end. She'd accepted it, Will had not. He sat by her bedside now. He always felt guilty when he'd have to leave her. Chelsea didn't mind. She'd loved him, and that had been enough for her.

"We're working on finding a solution baby," Will said. "We will find it if we have to search to the ends of this earth."

"Will," Chelsea said meekly. "You don't have to bother yourself with all of this."

"Hush now," Will soothed. "Don't you worry yourself about this. Get some rest. I'll be up later for dinner." Will left the room of the woman he loved. He would do anything for her. He checked his cell phone. No news from Vaughn. His anger boiled over. Doctor Martin and his associates would pay if they didn't find the girl soon.

It was a rare occurrence for Kurt's brother Joe to visit Gwen during office hours. While Joe was the more outgoing of the two, he usually stayed far away from Gwen. Joe was a bit of a trouble maker, so ever since she became the sheriff of the town he had stayed away from her. So when Joe came into Gwen's office in the middle of the afternoon, her mind instantly flew to something wrong with Kurt.

"Can I talk to you about something?" Joe asked.

"Of course," Gwen replied. Gwen considered Joe as family.

"I am concerned about Kurt," Joe replied. Gwen lifted her eyebrow in curiosity. "I don't know what he has gotten himself into, but whatever it is, I think it's is sneaking out of the house at night and spending big chunks of the work day away from work. I know it's not just you he's coming to see. Especially at night. I've seen him sneak into your room, but these days he's actually sneaking out of the house. He seems panicked all the time these days."

"What makes you think he's gotten into something bad?" Gwen asked. Avoiding the subject of Kurt coming into her room.

"Because he won't even tell me. He always tells me," Joe informed.

"I can look into it," Gwen replied.

Thanks," Joe sighed. Gwen couldn't help but worry about her lover. Most girls who had heard this information would have assumed their lover had found another woman, but Gwen was not worried about that. What worried her was the fact that Joe was worried about his brother. Joe worried about very little in life. Gwen sighed, She didn't need this on top of everything else she was working on.
