Spencer is about to get in bed when the doorbell rings. She grabs her robe and puts it on while going down the stairs. Her heart speeds up as her worry grows, maybe something happened to Toby.

By the time she gets to the front door, she is sure she will find a cop standing out there, one of Toby's coworkers, ready to give her some kind of bad news. She opens the door right away.

Spencer "Hey! It's you…" she feels a huge relief at seeing that it's just Hanna. "You scared the hell out of me, Han!"

Hanna "I'm sorry, Spence. I didn't have my phone to text you before coming over… can you call me a cab, please?"

Spencer looks at her confused.

Hanna "I locked myself out of Caleb's house. I left the key to his place inside with all my stuff, including my phone and the keys to my car and my house"

Spencer "Caleb wasn't home?" she is still confused.

Hanna looks down.

Spencer "What's wrong, Han?"

Hanna "I made a mistake, I shouldn't have showed up at his place just like that"

Spencer "Why don't you come inside?"

Hanna nods and steps into her friend's house.

Spencer "Wanna talk?" she asks after closing the door, while they both go to the living room.

Hanna "Just call me a cab, Spence… I don't want to bother you this late"

Spencer "Don't be silly, Han… Just tell me what's wrong"

Hanna "I think Caleb is getting tired of me"

Spencer notices Hanna's sad eyes. "That can't be true… what made you think that way, Han? Caleb loves you" she shoots Hanna a warm smile.

Hanna "I'm not saying that he doesn't love me… I'm just saying that he is getting tired of hanging out with me so often" she sits down on the couch.

Spencer sits down next to her. "He loves being with you, Han. He said it the other night, when Emily and I were in the kitchen with him, before you showed up in there, he said that you had been stuck to one another since you met and that he loved his clingy Hanna"

Hanna "He said I was clingy? He called me clingy Hanna and you guys didn't say anything to me?"

Spencer "Hey, chill! I'm telling you that he said it as something positive. He said he loved it"

Hanna "Well, he changed his mind then"

Spencer "Tell me what happened"

Hanna "I only came to his place because he wanted to pick me up at my place before and I said no because I was with you and the guys. But he was in a really bad mood when I got there and he told me that I shouldn't have come over. That he was just horny and wanted to fuck, like it was no big deal… that he didn't want to see me so bad anyway, and that I should have stayed with you guys because we had been together earlier today and also the night before and that we didn't have to be together all the time"

Spencer "What a jerk!"

Hanna "Yeah, I know"

Spencer "But still, it is so unlike him… he is not a jerk, he is not like that"

Hanna "Uh huh, I know that too"

Spencer "It's so strange, I don't get why he would say those things to you"

Hanna starts to play with one of her rings, twirling it between her fingers as she stares at it. "He has had a shitty day… I think he just treated me the way he did because he was in a bad mood. But still, when he said that we didn't have to be together all the time, it sounded like he said it seriously. He meant it" she puts her ring back on her finger and looks up at Spencer. "What should I do?"

Spencer "I don't know, Han… I think I'm in no position to give relationship advice when I'm about to ask the father of my baby for a break"

Hanna "You serious? You are gonna ask Toby for a break?"

Spencer nods while looking down. "I just made up my mind today… I'll move back in my parents' barn for a while"

Hanna "I'm sorry, Spence… I came to you with my stupid problems when you have your own stuff going on" she reaches out and takes Spencer's hand.

Spencer shoots Hanna a very slight smile. "It's fine, Han. I'm here for you… it's just that I really don't know what to tell you… maybe you should just wait and see what happens tomorrow. Caleb surely owes you an apology"

Hanna "Yeah, I'll do that. I'll just wait and see what happens tomorrow"

Spencer "Want to stay the night here?"

Hanna only looks at her, she doesn't want to be a bother, but at the same time, she could use a friend and she has the feeling that Spencer could use some company too.

Spencer "Really. It's not like Toby will get to sleep in the same bed as me anyway, he is crashing on the couch again, so there's room for you in my bed. Besides, how are you planning to get into your house without a key? Your mom is at Ted's"

Hanna smiles a little. "I was planning to slip in through a window, but I think I should better stay here"

Spencer stands up from the couch. "Let's go get you something to wear to bed"

Hanna gets up as well and follows her upstairs.

/

Caleb gets back inside after being in the backyard for another half an hour calling Hanna on her phone. He goes upstairs to his bedroom. That's when he realizes why Hanna hasn't been answering her phone. Her cell phone is on his bed, with all her stuff.

Caleb "Hanna?" he calls for her, thinking that maybe she didn't leave after all. "Han?" he repeats, but it's obvious she isn't there. All lights were out when he got in the house.

Caleb goes down the stairs again and then back outside, but this time, he goes out the front door. Hanna's car is still parked there in front of his house. She didn't leave, but she is not in his house either. After a moment of confusion, he realizes, Hanna must be with Spencer in the house next door. He just goes back inside.

/

Next morning.

Monday.

Caleb gets up early, showers really fast, skips breakfast and goes straight to Toby and Spencer's place. Knowing that Toby could answer the door, he takes the risk and rings the doorbell anyway. He is carrying Hanna's bag, ready to talk to her. He owes her an apology, he acted like a jerk and he knows it.

Luckily for him, Spencer shows up at the door.

Spencer "Hey" she smiles at seeing Caleb standing there, she knew that he wasn't a jerk after all.

Caleb "Hey, Spence… Hanna is here, right? I really need to talk to her"

Spencer "She left like half an hour ago. She didn't want to be late for her job interview, so she borrowed my car"

Caleb "Oh… I didn't know the interview was so early… she went straight to the mall?"

Spencer shakes her head no. "No, you know Hanna… the job interview is in like two hours, but she takes her time to do her hair, make-up and stuff"

Caleb nods.

Spencer "She went home. You should go talk to her, Caleb"

Caleb "Yeah, I will"

Toby shows up and stands behind Spencer's back. "What are you doing here?" his hair is messy, since he was just sleeping on the couch and got up when he heard Spencer talking to Caleb. "I don't want to see you in my property anymore. Stay away from my house and Spencer"

Spencer "He is just looking for Hanna, leave him alone"

Toby "Yeah, he should leave Hanna alone too, he obviously did something for her to end up staying the night here" he tells Spencer and keeps confronting Caleb. "You know what? You should move your fucking ass out of the town and leave all of us alone"

Spencer "What the hell, Toby?" she can't believe him.

Caleb "It's fine, Spence, I'll should get going" he says and walks away.

Spencer looks at Toby. She is really mad. She was waiting for him to have some rest after working all night long before talking to him, but now she can't wait any longer. "We need to talk"

/

Caleb parks in front of Hanna's house and grabs her bag from the passenger seat. He is in her car, since he wanted to bring it back to her. He gets out of the car and goes open the rear door for Chocolate.

Caleb "Come on, buddy. Let's go"

Chocolate jumps out of the car and runs straight to the front door. Caleb walks there too and rings the doorbell.

Ashley "Hi, Caleb"

Caleb "Good morning, Ashley… is Hanna home?"

Ashley "Yes…" she says while smiling at Chocolate who is greeting her excitedly. "Come in…" she tells Caleb as she pets the dog.

Caleb steps inside and Ashley closes the door, then she heads to the staircase.

Ashley "Hanna is in the kitchen… she is making breakfast"

Caleb "Thank you"

Chocolate follows Ashley upstairs and Caleb goes to the kitchen.

Caleb "Hey…" he greets Hanna softly, he is sure she is still pissed at him.

Hanna leaves what she is doing and turns around to look at him. She is wearing a bath robe, her hair is still wet from her shower and she hasn't done her make-up yet. "Hey, babe" she greets him back and shoots him a slight smile that takes him by surprise. "Want some coffee?"

Caleb just keeps staring at her. He doesn't know what he was expecting from her, but it was definitely not a warm greeting, much less a smile, or even a 'babe'.

Hanna "So… you want coffee or not?" she asks again.

Caleb shakes his head no while staring at her. He looks like hypnotized.

Hanna "Okay…" she only says and goes back to preparing breakfast.

Caleb reacts now and puts Hanna's bag on the kitchen island. "I was an ass last night, Han. I'm really sorry about it. I didn't mean to-"

Hanna "It's fine, Caleb" she cuts him off. "You were just having a bad day… I've done the same to you, I've treated you like shit many times while I was in a bad mood. Don't worry"

Caleb "Still, it wasn't right and I'm really sorry… I feel very ashamed of how I treated you"

Hanna approaches him. "It's fine. Really… besides, I shouldn't have just showed up at your place like that"

Caleb gets closer to her and can't help taking her face in his hands, she looks so beautiful, that angel face of hers looks flawless even in the morning, without any make-up on. Not to mention those piercing blue eyes she's got. He cups her cheeks and caresses her with his thumbs.

Caleb "No, that was right. Actually, I hope you keep doing it…" he traces her lips with one of his thumbs.

Hanna smiles a little and places her hands on his forearms.

Caleb leans in and they both open their mouths to start a kiss, but suddenly, something hits Caleb from behind and he loses stability. It almost made him fall all over Hanna and crush her against the kitchen island, but he reaches out and places one of his hands on the countertop for support just in time not to hurt her.

Caleb "You okay?"

Hanna chuckles. "Yeah" she pulls away from Caleb at seeing that it was Chocolate. "Hi, baby!" she smiles widely while hugging the dog. "You happy you came to visit me?"

Caleb "Visit?... He came back home…"

Hanna lets go of Chocolate and looks at Caleb. Caleb is smiling, but when he gets to see Hanna's serious face, he gets serious too.

Hanna "You should keep him, Caleb… I should be the one visiting him every so often, not you" she says and looks down at Chocolate who is licking her hand.

Caleb "What? Why?"

Hanna "I've lost him twice already. I think he is better off with you. You can look after him way better than me"

Caleb chuckles. What Hanna just said sounds ridiculous to him.

Hanna "Don't laugh. I'm serious. Besides, I can't even walk him anymore"

Caleb "Hanna, you didn't lose Chocolate. The first time, he ran away because he got scared, there's nothing you could have done to stop him because he is much stronger than you. And the second time was definitely not your fault either, in no way, and you know it. It was those sons of bitches. They did it"

Hanna is still looking down at Chocolate. "Still"

Caleb "Well, I'm not keeping him"

Hanna looks up at him now. She looks surprised.

Caleb "He is your dog, Han. We can walk him together just like we did yesterday and before you know, you will be able to walk him by yourself again"

Ashley shows up in the kitchen. "Hanna, what happened with breakfast?" she asks amused at seeing that her daughter has abandoned her task. Something that she offered to do herself, by the way.

Hanna "Oh, I'm sorry, mom... I'm almost done" she says and goes back to preparing some eggs.

Ashley "You are staying for breakfast, right Caleb?"

Caleb "Thanks, Ashley… but I've already had breakfast" he lies. "I should get going"

Hanna "Are you going to the Radley already? If you are late for work for having breakfast with your boss, it doesn't count… Right, mom?"

Ashley laughs. "Right"

Caleb smiles. "I'm joining the gym before going to the Radley. That's where I'm going"

Hanna "Oh, okay, then…"

Caleb approaches Hanna and kisses her cheek as she keeps making breakfast. "See you later" he tells her and turns away. "Bye, Ashley"

Hanna "Aren't you going to wish me luck for my job interview?"

Caleb "You know what I think about it, Han" he says and leaves.

Ashley "What was that?" she asks Hanna, confused.

Hanna "He doesn't want me to work at the mall. He wants me to start my own business making my dresses"

Ashley "Why don't you listen to him?"

Hanna "Because that's insane. He is insane. I can't just start a business"

Ashley "It doesn't have to be a big thing, sweetie. You can start little by little"

Hanna "Here is your breakfast, mom" he hands Ashley a plate.

Ashley looks at the big mess Hanna has made in her kitchen, only to prepare a simple breakfast. "Hanna! What did you do to my kitchen?"

Hanna smiles amused. "Weren't you happy to have me back home, mom?"

Ashley rolls her eyes and sits at the table to eat her not-so-tasty-looking breakfast. "No wonder Caleb didn't stay for breakfast" she says amused while staring at her plate and laughs.

Hanna laughs too and joins her mom at the table.

Chocolate approaches Hanna and starts begging for food.

Hanna smiles at him. "Finally, someone appreciates my food!"

/

Later.

Hanna leaves the mall after having had her job interview and stops by at some food place to pick up something for lunch, then she goes to The Radley Hotel. She wants to move on from what happened the night before with Caleb. He already apologized and she just wants to be okay with him.

She steps into the hotel and goes straight to her mother's office, since she doesn't know where is Caleb's. But she isn't lucky to find Ashley there. She leaves her mom's office to just go to the front desk and ask for Caleb there, but on the way there, she finds a hotel cleaner and decides to ask her. The woman doesn't even know who Caleb is, but when Hanna describes him as the new guy who just started working there, on the security system, the woman quickly recognizes him and lets her know that she saw him going have lunch with some of his co-workers, and among them, she mentions two girls who work at the bar, which makes Hanna a bit jealous, because she has seen how good looking the girls from the bar are.

She leaves The Radley and gets back in her car. She is about to call Spencer because she needs someone to talk to, but then she decides against it. Spencer has already her own issues. She calls Aria instead, and turns out that she is home alone and hasn't had lunch yet, so there she goes.

She updates Aria on everything that happened with Caleb the night before while they eat the food she was supposed to eat with Caleb at The Radley. And then she also tells Aria about his brief visit at her place that morning.

Aria "So you forgave him just like that?"

Hanna "Yeah… I just didn't want to make a big deal of what happened last night"

Aria "And now he stood you up for lunch?"

Hanna "I don't know, maybe he just forgot he asked me to come for lunch… he only mentioned it when we were chilling out in the hot tub like two days ago and it's not like we set up a time to meet up"

Aria "So what's the problem? I'm not following you, I thought you were upset because he didn't have lunch with you"

Hanna "I'm worried because if he really wanted to have lunch with me, he would have asked it again. But he didn't… and if what happened last night, hadn't happened, I wouldn't mind about today's lunch. But what he said last night plus he choosing to have lunch with his coworkers instead of calling me, makes me think that it is true that he doesn't want to see me so often"

Aria "I think you are overthinking it, Han… guys don't pay too much attention to what they do. He probably forgot that he asked you to have lunch together the other day"

Hanna "Spencer told me to wait and see what happens"

Aria "I think she is right, Han. Just let it be… give him some space, wait for him to text or call you, to come out with a plan, to ask you out, or something"

Hanna nods and falls silent. For a couple of minutes, they just have lunch quietly. But then, Hanna goes back to the conversation.

Hanna "What if I give him too much space and he ends up getting bored of me? Or what if he is having doubts and I don't do anything and he ends up breaking up with me?"

Aria can't help smiling at finding Hanna too cute while worrying so much.

Hanna "Don't smile, I'm serious. What if he leaves me?"

Aria "Han! Please! Stop worrying so much! What happened between you and Caleb last night can't even be labeled as a fight. He made a mistake by treating you the way he did, and you already forgave him. That's all. You can't get worried only because he didn't call you to have lunch together today. He is a guy, they don't pay attention to details like we do"

Hanna sighs. "Okay, fine… I'll just wait for him to text me"

Aria smiles amused. "Chill, Han. The guy is crazy about you"

They keep having lunch while talking about random things, then Hanna helps Aria clear the table.

Hanna "Do you have plans for today?"

Aria "Well… I should probably get back to writing, but I'm not so inspired… I'm kind of blocked. Why do you ask?"

Hanna "I have Spencer's car parked at my place and I have to drive it back to her place. I was thinking you could come with me to my place so you can drive my car to Spencer's while I drive hers. Besides, Spencer and Toby aren't doing good… I think we should go check on her"

Aria "Sure, let's go… but, isn't she at work?"

Hanna "No, she took the day off"

/

Hanna and Aria go to Spencer's place. Spencer answers the door and they both know right away that they did well by going to check on her. Spencer looks terrible, swollen eyes, messy hair, still in her pajamas. Hanna and Aria spend the rest of the day at Spencer's, comforting and taking care of her. They also convince her to eat something for her baby's sake. Spencer tells them about the talk she had with Toby, and how sad he was when she asked him for a break, the way both of them couldn't stop shedding tears and how heart-breaking the whole thing was. She even starts to cry again while telling. They stay there until dinner when Emily shows up to stay with Spencer so Hanna and Aria can go home. They don't want to leave their friend alone.

Hanna has to take Aria back to her place, so they both walk to her car. Hanna heads to the driver side and can't help taking a look at Caleb's place while opening the door.

Hanna "He is home…" she says, still staring at Caleb's house.

Aria "Don't you even think about going there. Just get in the car and wait for him to show up. He screwed up last night, you didn't do anything wrong"

Hanna "I know… but I really want a kiss… we almost kissed this morning, but Chocolate interrupted us"

Aria laughs. "What? You don't kiss in front of Chocolate? He is a dog"

Hanna rolls her eyes. "No, you idiot. Of course we kiss in front of him, but he practically leaped at us and we almost fell" she sighs and finally gets in the car. "He didn't even text me today"

Aria gets in the car too. "Han, he is already your boyfriend. He will text you sooner or later. Chill"

Hanna nods and starts the car.

Aria "Should I take your phone?" she says amused.

Hanna can't help but smile. "No, I still have some self-control left"

Aria "Sure"

Hanna chuckles. "I won't text him first, I promise"

/

The next day.

It's afternoon and Hanna hasn't gotten a text from Caleb yet. And of course, she is going crazy, overthinking, not being able to turn her mind off. On top of that, she hasn't had any news about the job at the mall. They haven't called her. She is in the living room, sitting on the couch upside down, feeling completely frustrated when Chocolate comes from the kitchen and starts to lick her face non-stop, causing Hanna to start to laugh out loud as she tries to sit up but she can't.

Hanna "Gosh, Chocolate! You just drank water!" she yells between laughing, since Chocolate's snout is all wet and cold against her face.

Ashley gets home from work and goes to the living room at hearing her daughter laughing like crazy.

Ashley "Hanna! Don't let him lick your face like that! Sit up!"

Chocolate leaves Hanna and goes greet Ashley.

Hanna "It's fine, mom" she says, not caring.

Ashley "Hi, buddy" she greets Chocolate back while petting him. "What are you up to?" she asks Hanna.

Hanna finally sits up, turns around and sits on the couch like a normal person. "Nothing… I'm just bored"

Ashley "Why don't you take Chocolate for a walk?" she suggests, not having a clue about the real reason why Hanna hasn't walked the dog lately.

Hanna "I think I'll better go to Spencer's. She isn't doing so well"

Ashley "Is there anything wrong with the pregnancy?"

Hanna "No, she and the baby are perfectly well… she is having some issues with Toby" she says while standing up from the couch.

Ashley "Oh… I'm sure they will be fine. It's perfectly normal not to get along with your partner during pregnancy. It's all about the hormones… I could barely stand your father during the third trimester. They will work it out"

Hanna "Yeah… I guess" she grabs the keys to her car. "Wanna come with me, Chocolate?" she asks the dog and before she can even finish the question, he is already standing by the front door.

Ashley "Why don't you walk there? It's close and Chocolate could use some exercise" she keeps insisting.

Hanna "I don't feel like walking, mom…" she just says and leaves.

/

Hanna parks her car right in front of Caleb's house, since the spot in front of Spencer's house is occupied by Alison's car. And of course there are some other spaces where she could park her car, but she parks in front of Caleb's place on purpose.

Caleb's car is not in his driveway anyway, and she wonders where he could be while walking toward Spencer's with Chocolate.

/

Hanna is glad that she took Chocolate with her, because he sticks to Spencer as if he could sense her sadness and Spencer cuddles with him on the couch, she hugs him like if he were a huge teddy bear while chatting with Alison and Hanna about random things, trying not to think about Toby.

At some point as they talk, Hanna's phone buzzes and her heart skips a beat at seeing that it's a text from Caleb. Finally! She thinks right away and rushes to read the message.

Caleb: Babe, are you at Spencer's?

Hanna: Hey! :) Yeah, I'm here.

Caleb: Wanna stop by at my place when you leave?

Hanna frowns while reading that text.

Spencer notices it. "What's up, Han?"

Hanna "Nothing…" she doesn't want to bother Spencer with her problems again. They are silly problems compared to what she is going through.

Spencer "Come on, tell me"

Alison "Is that Caleb?" she asks, since Hanna has updated her on everything that happened too.

Hanna "Uh huh… check this text, guys" she hands them her phone.

Spencer "What's the problem?" she looks at Hanna confused after having read the texts.

Alison "He texted you! Wasn't it what you wanted?"

Hanna "Yeah, but what about that 'stop by'?"

Alison and Spencer look at each other confused. They don't get Hanna.

Hanna "He didn't ask if I wanted to 'come over', he said 'stop by' meaning that he wants me to go for a little while and then leave"

Spencer and Alison laugh.

Hanna "Hey!"

Spencer "Aria was right, you are overthinking, Han. Just go see him"

Alison "Yeah, I agree with Spence, Han… but if you want to test him, go see him for just a few minutes and then find a really silly excuse to leave… if he wants you to stay, he will say something"

Hanna "Yeah, I'll do that! You are such a genius, Ali!"

Alison "I know" she smiles cockily.

Hanna: Okay, I'll go in a little while.

Caleb: K :)

Hanna stays another half an hour at Spencer's and then she goes to Caleb's. Spencer seems so comfy cuddling with Chocolate, that Hanna leaves him at her place while she goes see Caleb.

Caleb opens the door with a smile on his face and Hanna can't help smiling too.

Caleb "Hi, baby"

Hanna "Hey" she greets him back as he grabs her by the waist and pulls her closer to him.

Caleb "How are you doing?" he asks, very close to her face.

Hanna "Good… you?" she asks while caressing his hair softly.

Caleb doesn't answer, he only smiles at her and catches her mouth between his lips, starting a kiss. Hanna kisses him back right away, she really wanted that kiss. Caleb always tastes so good and his lips are so soft that she wants to lick and suck them forever.

But Caleb pulls away from her shortly after. And Hanna is about to grab his face and keep kissing him, but he speaks.

Caleb "Let's go inside… I wanted to talk to you about something" he takes her hand and leads her inside.

Hanna curses at herself. She knew that something was going on with Caleb, she shouldn't have listened to her friends. She should have talked to Caleb sooner.

They go to the living room and Hanna sits down on the couch. Caleb instead, goes look for something on the TV cabinet. Then he joins her on the couch.

Caleb "You okay?" he asks at noticing her worried face.

Hanna only nods. She is nervous because she really doesn't know what he is going to come out with. Is he going to ask her for a break maybe? Just like Spencer did with Toby? She can't help worrying. She thought he wanted to see her to just spend some time together, she wasn't expecting to have a serious talk.

Caleb just smiles at her. He has no clue what's going on in her mind, so he just presses a kiss to her cheek and hands her what seems to be a little paper. "Here" he says.

Hanna frowns and grabs the paper, she is a bit confused. She takes a look at it. It's not a paper. It's a check. A twenty-freaking-thousand-dollar check. And it has her name written on it. She looks up at Caleb, still confused.

Caleb "Start making your dresses. You don't need that job at the mall"

Hanna "I told you I don't want your money, Caleb" she finally says after some more seconds of confusion. He caught her by surprise, completely.

Caleb "I know, but… come on, Han! Just take it. You don't need to wait any longer to-"

Hanna "Caleb!" she cuts him off. "I don't need your money" she says again and breaks the check in two pieces. "I don't want it" she puts the broken check on the coffee table and then stands up from the couch. "I've gotta go back to Spencer's" she heads back to the front door.

Caleb gets up too and goes after her. "Wait, don't get mad, I just-"

Hanna "I'm not mad" she says and looks at him.

Caleb "Okay, then give me a goodbye kiss at least"

Hanna gets closer to him and gives him a kiss on the mouth. "Bye, babe"

Caleb "See you" he says and steals another brief kiss from her. "Think about it at least, Han"

Hanna doesn't say anything else and goes back to Spencer's.

Alison "You are back already? What happened?"

Hanna rolls her eyes. "He only wanted to give me a twenty-thousand-dollar check for me to start making dresses"

Alison's mouth falls open. "He gave you twenty thousand dollars?" she asks surprised.

Spencer is as surprised as Alison is, but she just stares at Hanna, waiting for more information.

Hanna "No. I just broke the check. I had already told him that I didn't want his money, that I would do this on my own. I can't believe him. He didn't even text me to ask how I did at the job interview. He didn't show up since yesterday morning and now he wants to give me twenty thousand dollars"

Spencer "Are you insane, Hanna? Just take the money and start making dresses"

Hanna "No! I won't take his money. Besides, it's a lot of money. And even if they were just one hundred dollars, I wouldn't take it either. And you know what? I didn't even have to make up an excuse to leave. I only told him that I had to go and he let me go just like that. He didn't even ask what I was up to, he didn't ask me to stay not even five more minutes"

Alison laughs. "Knock it off, Hanna! You can be sure he is not planning to break up with you, no one in their right mind would give that amount of money to someone they are planning to leave" she says very amused.

Hanna sighs and flops down on a chair. "Whatever"

/

Hanna and Alison stay at Spencer's for dinner and then they leave. They both offered to stay the night with Spencer for her not to be alone, but she refused to let them stay, saying that they had already done a lot for her and that she felt better anyway.

Now Hanna is back home. She is in her bed, waiting for Caleb to pick up his phone.

Caleb "Han!" he gets her call after a few rings.

Hanna "Hey… can you make me a favor?"

Caleb "Sure, babe"

Hanna "Spencer asked Toby for a break today and so he moved out of their place"

Caleb "Really? I knew they weren't okay, but I didn't think it was so bad"

Hanna "Yeah, neither I did… she told him she would move out for a while, but he refused to let her do so and he left himself so she could stay in their house"

Caleb "Well, the guy is an ass but at least he still has some decency left"

Hanna "Toby is not an ass, babe. He is one of the sweetest guys I've ever known. And he is also very thoughtful, that's why he gave Spencer the break she asked for and also let her stay in the house. I'm sure he will come around and apologize to you very soon"

Caleb "Whatever, he can go fuck himself. I don't care. What is that favor you want me to do?"

Hanna "I'll talk to Toby tomorrow, you two need to have an adult conversation already" she says, ignoring what Caleb just told her.

Caleb "Hanna, stay out of this. I'm not interested in being friends with Toby, just accept it. When you weren't speaking to your friends, I stayed out of it. So, don't meddle in this" he says firmly.

Hanna "Okay, fine" she only says, although she is planning to talk to Toby anyway.

Caleb "So, what do you want me to do for you?"

Hanna "Nothing… it's just that Spencer is home alone… very sad… and pregnant… and you are right at the house next door. I just wanted you to keep an eye on her. I mean… well, it's not like you can just go check on her, but… I don't know, I'm worried about her and you are so close, I just thought-"

Caleb smiles and interrupts her. "Don't worry, babe. I'll text her, she can reach out to me if she needs anything at any time"

Hanna "Thank you, Caleb"

Caleb "No problem"

Hanna "What are you up to?"

Caleb "Not much… I'll just take a shower and go straight to bed… you?"

Hanna "I'm in bed already"

Caleb "What about Chocolate?

Hanna "He is here too… sleeping"

They both fall silent.

Hanna "Well…"

Caleb "Okay, I'll…"

They start speaking at the same time so both of them go silent again to let the other speak.

Caleb "What, Han?" he asks after a couple of seconds of awkward silence.

Hanna "Nothing… I was just going to say goodbye… what were you going to tell me?"

Caleb "I was going to say goodbye too… I'm exhausted from work and the gym…"

Hanna "Oh, okay then go take your shower now so you can go to bed"

Caleb "Uh huh… night, baby. Sleep well"

Hanna "You too, have rest"

Caleb "Yeah… see you" he says and ends the call.

Hanna sighs and looks down at her phone for a couple of seconds before putting it on the bedside table. Then she turns off the lamp and lies down on her side to cuddle up against her asleep dog. Cuddling with Chocolate is one of her favorite things in the world, but she misses Caleb's body spooning her. It's like the cuddling isn't complete without him. She wonders if that awkwardness between them will go away soon. Maybe it's just her. Maybe she is overthinking too much, like her friends said. But on the other hand, she knows that Caleb is acting weird. But then again, he could simply have had a busy day and be truly tired as he said, and that's why he didn't ask to spend some time together, and it has nothing to do with the things he said the other night. Not being able to shut her brain off, Hanna grabs her phone, plugs in her headphones and listens to some music until she finally falls asleep.
