Dominick's Townhouse

A bottle of champagne pops in the living room of Dominick's townhouse as he, Felicia, Leah, Bryce, Ethan, Tyler, and Robin all stand around celebrating the return of Dominick and Felicia to Twin Peaks. Leah had contacted Dominick once Daisy informed her that Frederick would only agree to help Dawn if Felicia returned to town; Dominick and Eva, then, spoke to Felicia, who agreed to return to town as she felt like she was strong enough to come home as the drugs that had been in her system had completely left.

"It is so great to have you two home," Robin smiles to her family as Tyler pours glasses of the bubbly and passes it around.

"Yes, I agree," Tyler says as he finishes passing out the last glass of champagne. "I suggest that we have a toast?"

"What should we drink too?" Felicia asks her family, beaming from the excitement of being with her children again. She hadn't realized just how much she had missed everyone while she was in Italy even though she realizes that it was for the best because, now, she is back to her normal self.

"How about family?" Leah suggests as she looks over at Bryce and Ethan. For so long she didn't think that her two children would be in the same room as her celebrating Felicia and Dominick's return; when they all first discovered that they were family, there was a lot of hurt and confusion, and it has taken years for them to get to a good place. "Because that's what we are, and we should be proud of that."

"I love the sound of that," Dominick chuckles to his family. "To family, and to being home again."

"To family," everyone else says in unsion as they cheers and they take a sip of their champagne.

"Okay," Bryce looks over at Dominick and Felica. "Now that the toast is out of the way, we want to hear about Florence, and don't even think about leaving one detail out. We all want to hear everything!"

 
 

The Calimo Mansion

"It is so good to see you all," Eva explains as she and Victoria exit from a deep hug. Eva, then, looks over at Donovan and Natasha, both of whom she already embraced. It is the first morning after her return to Twin Peaks and she knew that she had to see her children as she missed them desperately while she was in Florence with Dominick and Felicia. "You all look like you're doing well."

"We are, Mom," Natasha tells her mother. "We are just so thrilled that you're back in town. You were away far too long."

"Yes, I know," Eva tells them as they move to the sofa and sit next to one another. "The truth is, Frederick was pumping Felicia full of drugs to make her believe that she wanted to be married to him. We…we stayed away until the drugs had completely left Felicia's system and she felt like she was strong enough to return home."

"I can't believe that Frederick would do that to someone he claims to love," Donovan shakes his head back to her in amazement. "But it worked? Felicia is feeling better?"

"Yes, much," Eva nods to him. "Between weeding her off the drugs and therapy, Felicia is doing much better."

"What a relief," Victoria tells her. "And you? How did you like your time away in Florence? I…I haven't been to the family compound in years."

"The compound is beautiful," Eva says back to them. "The staff there are amazing; they are taking good care of it. And I…I rather enjoyed myself."

"Does that mean you and Dominick grew closer again?" Natasha asks her mother with a sly grin on her face. "I know you two weren't in the best place when you left."

Eva feels her cheeks flush. "I don't want to keep my hopes up," she admits to her children. "But I do think that Dominick and I are in a good place, maybe the best place we've ever been. I'm…I'm just hoping to keep it that way."

"Oh Mom, that is the best news," Victoria smiles back to her. "We are all so happy for you, really."

The Sugarbowl

In the back booth of the coffeehouse, Daisy sits across from Chris and Trenyce as they family is catching with up with one another. With Andrew leaving town and heading to the winery, they have realized how important it is to spend time with one another.

"We really need to do this when the kids are around," Daisy says before she takes a sip of her coffee. "I miss those little ones each and every day."

"That can be arranged," Chris chuckles back to her. "And for the record, the kids, they miss their Aunt too, Daisy."

"So, tell us, what's been keeping you busy these days?" Trenyce asks her Aunt before she takes a sip of her tea.

"Honestly?" Daisy asks as they nod back to her. "I've been working on my law cases. I'm…I'm hoping that this new direction gives me a new purpose in my life. You know, after everything that has happened the last few years, I just want to find myself again and I think this new career path might just do that."

"You have been through a lot, Daisy," Chris says as he thinks about her getting pregnant with Vinny's child; her decision to have the child aborted, which sent her into a depression, and then, she turned to prostitution to numb her pain. Once Daisy realized that she was under Antonio's thumb, he was killed, and Daisy was found guilty of murder and she spent months in jail. "We hope that this will be a good change for you."

"I only have a few more classes and I'll be done," Daisy reveals to them. "And then, I'll be able to practice law. But I am worried about something."

"What's that?" Trenyce asks her quickly.

"Who would want to hire me with my past? After all, everything that I revealed in the murder trial was public; I was a household name for the wrong reasons for a long time."

"Don't worry about that," Trenyce tells her. "Anyone would be lucky to have you represent them, Daisy. We are just proud of you for taking this step."

"Thanks Trey, I appreciate that," Daisy says with a half smile on her face.

***

At the window bar, Cassie and Max sit next to one another. The mother and son had been at her apartment earlier, where she admitted that Jacob walked out on her when she told him that she was pregnant and Max was curious with Jacob for his behaviour. Cassie wanted a change of scenery, so they agreed come to the coffeehouse. Max has a large coffee in front of him while Cassie is sipping on a herbal tea, since she can't have caffeine.

"Thanks for getting me out of the apartment," Cassie tells him as she moves a piece of hair behind her ear. "I felt like I was suffocating in there."

"Of course," Max looks back at his mother before he takes a sip of his coffee. "You know that I would do anything for you, Mom."

"I know that," Cassie smiles back to him. "And that's why I love you so. But Max, you were very upset Jacob, but please, don't go after him. Let me and my husband work this out."

"I can do that," Max says back to her. "But if he does anything to hurt you, or my unborn sibling, he will answer to me."

"I appreciate you being so protective of me, but please Max, don't do anything," Cassie warns him. "Let me handle my marriage. I just hope Jacob comes around to the idea of being a father again."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

In the cafeteria of the hospital, Abby and Cheresa sit across from one another. Cheresa is at the hospital because in a few short hours, Frederick will be arriving to start treatment on Dawn, and she wants to be there for her girlfriend. Abby knows that and wanted to check in on her sister.

"How are you feeling about Dawn and Frederick?" Abby asks her quickly.

Cheresa sighs heavily back to her. "I'm anxious," she admits to her. "I have wanted Frederick to help Dawn for so long, and now that it is here, I just hope that he can get through to her. I don't know what I will do if Frederick can't help her."

"Stay positive," Abby says back to her. "I know that Dawn will come back to you, come back to all of us. There's no other alternative."

"Thanks," Cheresa smiles back to her. "What's going on with you and Ethan? Did you two make up from the little tiff you two had?"

Abby gulps heavily back to him. "We sure did," she half-chuckles to her. "But I might have made a mess of things."

"A mess? How so?"

"Ethan…he…he just blurted out that he wanted to get married," Abby reveals to her as Cheresa's eyes open wider in surprise. "I…I didn't give him an answer, and he's not thrilled with me."

"Wait," Cheresa puts her hand up in the air. "The man that you love, the father of your daughter, asked you to marry him and you didn't answer him? What the hell is wrong with you, Abby?"

"I know, I know," Abby replies to her. "The thing is, I don't think that Ethan's family will be supportive of this union and I don't want that drama right now."

"Is that all it is?" Cheresa questions her.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean," Cheresa looks back at her with intent. "Is there another reason that you could not want to marry Ethan?"

"Like what?" Abby asks her quickly. "What are you suggesting?"

"Okay, I'll go there," Cheresa firmly tells her. "You and Max…you've gotten closer, Abby. It's clear to everyone around you. Is it possible that you have feelings for Max? Is the reason you don't want to marry Ethan is because you have lingering feelings for Max?"

The Calimo Mansion

Robbie moves into the living room of the Calimo mansion and makes a beeline towards the bar. He is in desperate need of a drink as earlier in the day he was at the hospital and Stephanie confirmed that the DNA test that he ran on Bobby and Kim were a match; she admitted that, at first, she realized that there was a discrepancy in the results, so she ran them again, and that's when she got the confirmation. His mind is racing because this means that Bobby is his child with Kim; Madeline's twist tale is true, and he still can't believe it.

After he pours his scotch, Madeline appears in the entrance of the living room. "It's a bit early to be drinking, isn't it?" she asks him with pursed lips.

"Not after the morning that I had," he looks back at her with a glare. "I got the DNA tests results back."

"Ah, so you know the truth," Madeline replies to him quickly. "You know that my story wasn't a tale, it is fact."

"I…I can't believe you actually did that," he shakes his head back to her. "You actually stole Kim's baby and have been lying to everyone, including Bobby, about being his mother. Do you know how sick that is?"

"I know," she nods back to him. "I wasn't thinking clearly; I wasn't in my right mind, I can admit that. But now, you know the truth, Robbie. What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to tell Kim," Robbie says as they lock eyes with one another. "I'm going to tell Kim that she is the mother of my son."

Tyler's Townhouse

Kim looks up from her IPad as she sits on the sofa in the living room of the townhouse that she lives in with Tyler when the front door opens her and her husband appears with a smile on his face. Kim sets her IPad down on the coffeetable in front of her and stands up.

"You look like you're in a good mood," she says as she moves up to him and kisses him on the lips. "Does that mean you solved that issue you were having at Robertson Enterprises?"

"Partly," Tyler looks back at her as he hangs up his jacket. "The truth is, I just came from my father's townhouse. Dominick and Felicia, my parents, they are back in town, and my mom, she is like a brand-new woman."

"You didn't tell me that they were coming back? When did that happen?"

"Last night, I guess," Tyler looks back at her. "We were just welcoming them home. I'm just so relieved to see my mother back to normal, you know?"

"I know how worried you were about her," Kim grabs his hand and squeezes it. "I'm happy for you, and your entire family."

"Thanks babe."

"Of course," Kim purses her lips together. "Did you ever find a solution to that issue at the company?"

Tyler gulps back to her as he knows that he lied to her about that as she found him pacing because he was thinking about the fact that he switched the DNA test results to prevent the truth about Kim's connection to Bobby from coming out; he just hopes that no one will ever find out that truth because he doesn't want to lose Kim. What he is struggling with, however, is that Madeline is still pressing for the truth to come out, so when she learns that the test wasn't match, she could tell Robbie to have another test run.

"You know what I think?" Tyler looks at her, finally breaking the moment of silence between them.

"What?"

"You and I, we never had a real honeymoon," Tyler tells her. "And now that my Mom is back and things are relatively calm at the company, maybe we should get out of town for a while. Just you and me, and a beach somewhere. What do you think? Let's runaway together?"

"Now? You think it's a good time now? I…I don't know," Kim admits to him. "Andy is drinking again, I'm not sure I should leave him."

"I want to spend some time with you away from everything," Tyler presses her. "Please Kim, let's do this? Let's get away, I think…I know…we both need this. Let's get away from Twin Peaks….and let's leave today…"

Andy sits in the back corner of the bar with a whiskey in front of him. He decided to return to the bar to have a drink, despite the bartender cutting him off a few weeks earlier when he and Logan first met. That night, the two continued to drink at Andy's condo, and they ended up having sex. After a few encounters of avoiding the discussion of what happened between them, Andy finally asked Logan how he felt about them having sex; Logan admitted he enjoyed it, but he was drunk. Andy suggested that they do it again, this time sober, to see how Logan truly feels since he has always believed he was straight.

"Another night with him would be fun," Andy quips to himself as he takes a sip of his drink. "He's a babe, and since I'm single, I am free to do whatever I want."

As Andy starts to daydream about Logan, Meggan slowly opens the front door to the club and she moves inside. She removes her large sunglasses and looks around, closing her gaze onto Andy. She finds herself walking, quickly, towards the man who is drinking.

"Why am I not surprised to find you at a bar?" Meggan asks as she arrives at his table.

Andy looks up from his drink with an arched eyebrow. "That is rich coming from you. Six weeks ago, you'd be right next to me, Megpie."

"Look, I'm going to make this fast," Meggan avoids his comment to her. "I saw you having a drink with my son the other day at the Pink Flamingo."

"You're spying on us now?" Andy asks her. "You're on a trip, lady."

"Stay the hell away from my son," Meggan warns him. "The last thing he needs is to be around a lush like you."

"Do me a favor, Meggan?" Andy huffs back to her. "Stop acting so self-righteous. You were in my position not very long ago, and I certainly didn't come up to you and tell you to hang out with. I will not stay away from Logan, in fact, I will do the opposite. Now, if you don't mind, I want to have the rest of my drink alone."

 
 

The Sugarbowl

Trenyce and Daisy continue to sit across from one another in the back booth of the coffee house as they continue catch up with one another. Chris was with them earlier but he had to leave for a work function, which thrills Trenyce as she knows that they have been struggling with some finances lately. She hopes that this is the start of Chris bringing in a higher income so they can better support their family.

"Have you, uh, heard from Andrew since he went to Santa Barbara?" Daisy asks her niece before she takes a sip of her latte.

"Yes, he actually called to speak to Tinah last night," Trenyce relies to her. "They spoke for about 20 minutes before she lost interest."

Daisy chuckles back to her. "That is still a long time for a kid her age," Daisy says. "And it's nice that he's making the effort."

"You haven't heard from him, I take it?"

"No," Daisy shakes her head back to her. "Not that I was expecting it; he really needed time away."

"In time, he will forgive you," Trenyce tells her. "I believe that."

"I…I hope so," Daisy says. "Anyways, you looked relieved that Chris had to leave for work. Is everything okay?"

"Oh," Trenyce gulps back to her. "We are just in a bit of a pinch with our finances lately; I'm hoping this work thing means he'll be bringing in more money. We could use it."

"I didn't realize things were that bad," Daisy looks back at her with concern. "Can I help with anything?"

"Considering you're still working towards your next job?" Trenyce chuckles to her. "We will be fine, we just need to find a solution sooner than later."

"Chris is a provider," Daisy reminds her. "He will do what he has to do to make his family safe and secure."

***

Outside the coffeehouse, Chris holds his phone to his ear as he waits for his voicemail to start. He had been sitting with Trenyce and Daisy when he got a phone call. He saw the name on his screen and purposely let it go to voicemail because he didn't want to get his family's hopes up with what the message was. Then, he excused himself saying he had to get to work, but he just wanted to hear the voicemail to see what was going on.

"Please let this be good news," Chris says before he pushes a button on his phone which sends him to his first message.

"Hi Chris, this is a recruiter from human resources from Roboto," the woman's voice says. "I am pleased to say that Ms. Natasha Calimo would like to have an interview with you for the position of Marketing Direction. Please call me back at the earliest convenience so we can arrange a time that works for everyone."

Chris hangs up the phone and sighs. "I guess this is the best option even though I don't want to go back to corporate. More money means my family, and wife, will be taken care of."

The Calimo Mansion

"Jacob, I'm glad you were able to stay back for a bit after your talk with your Dad," Natasha says to her son as he continues to sit next to Shane on the sofa in the Calimo mansion. Across from them, Sophie is sitting in an armchair as Shane and Natasha had brought their children together to share an announcement. Earlier, Jacob told Shane that Cassie is pregnant and he walked out because he had told her that he didn't want more children. Shane told his son that he needed to be a man for his wife and his unborn child.

"Yea, I had a few more minutes and Dad made it seem like this announcement was important," Jacob replies to her. "How are you doing, Sophie?"

Sophie sighs heavily back to her brother. The last thing she wants is to be around her mother right now as she is still furious with her for sleeping with Max behind her, and everyone's, back. She is still plotting some type of revenge on her mother, although she hasn't figured out what she will do yet but she knows it has to be something.

"Oh, I'm just fantastic," Sophie sarcastically replies to him. "I am just tickled to be here."

"Sophie, do you want some champagne?" Shane asks his stepdaughter. "That might cheer you up?"

"Nah, I'm good," Sophie replies to him. "Can we just get this over with? What is this announcement?"

"Well," Natasha purses her lips as she moves closer to her children and sits on the edge of the coffee table so she can look at her son and daughter. "Shane and I have some news that we wanted to share with you."

"That's right, and it's good news," Shane smiles to them. "Your mother and I, we've decided to get married…for real this time, and forever this time."

"Oh wow," Jacob says with some excitement. "That's great news, I'm excited for you two."

"Thanks baby," Natasha tells her son. "We are excited too." She then turns to Sophie. "Soph, how are you feeling?"

Sophie looks back at her and realizes that this could be the way to get revenge on her mother: to stop or ruin the wedding. She doesn't know how, yet, but she will figure that out. For now, however, she has to pretend everything is fine for the time being.

"Like Jacob, I think this is exciting," Sophie forces a fake smile on her face. "Congratulations."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Paige moves up to the nurses station on the main floor of the hospital. She takes a deep breath when she sees Will standing at the station looking at some patient files. It is the first time that she has seen him since the Judge ruled in her favor, so she can give up her child for adoption. She knows, however, that Will is crushed by the decision.

"Hey," Paige says causing Will to look up at her. "I…I'm glad I ran into you."

"Are you?" Will coldly replies to her. "I'm not sure we have anything else to say to one another, do you?"

"I know that you're upset by the Judge's ruling, I really do," she admits to him. "I know I would have been upset had he ruled against me."

"I've lost my son," Will continues to be icy with her. "And that's your fault."

"Look, I don't want to fight with you," she replies to him. "But I thought you should know that it's done."

"What's done?" Will asks her quickly confused by what she is talking about.

"The adoption," Paige admits to him as she can see his heart ache inside his chest. "I…I signed the papers just a short time ago."

"Great," Will shakes his head as he turns around from her. He closes his eyes and feels his eyes swell with water. "Thanks for telling me. You can go now."

"For what it's worth, I'm sorry that I hurt you, Will," she whispers back to him. "But…but…I do think that this is for the best. And I just hope that one day you'll understand that."

With that, Paige leaves Will alone at the nurses station. He turns around and lets a tear run down his cheek as he realizes that he has lost his son forever.

The Tower's; Floor Eight; Victoria & Jeff's Condo

Victoria opens the door to her condo and drops her briefcase down before she takes off her jacket and hangs it on the coatrack. She, then, moves into the living room and is looking forward to taking off her pumps and pouring a glass of wine. She had a very long day at the office, including another grilling from Jeff about whether or not she was the one who framed Leah for the missing funds from Roboto; she was able to dodge the question because she received a critical business phone call, but she knows that she will, eventually, either have to tell him the truth, or come up with a story that he will buy. She has been wondering, however, if she should just tell him the truth. Afterall, she believes that she and Jeff are in a very good place, and he and Leah haven't been close in months.

As she moves into the living room, she freezes at the sight that is in front of her. Jeff is standing in the middle of the room in a tuxedo. In front of him there is a small table with a single red rose, candles, and dinner waiting for her as soft piano music plays in the background.

"What…what is all this?" Victoria asks him in surprise.

"Your dinner, my lady," Jeff smiles as he moves up to her and kisses her on the lips. "We've been under so much tension lately, I wanted to do something nice for you. I…I hope I didn't overstep?"

"Overstep?" Victoria chuckles back to him. "Not at all. This looks lovely, Jeff. It's been a very long time since a man has done anything remotely close to this for me."

"Then, come sit, and I'll pour us some champagne and we can enjoy this meal together," Jeff says as he guides her to her seat and then moves to his seat and he starts to pour the champagne as the start their romantic dinner together.

Dominick's Townhouse

Tyler pours three glasses of wine at the bar in the living room of Dominick's townhouse. He was with Kim earlier and told her that he wanted to leave town with her because he is worried that the truth about her being Bobby's mother will come out; he thought if they were away, he could keep her from the truth longer, and hopefully, they can be even closer so she won't leave him for Robbie. However, before she could answer him, Felicia called him and asked to see him. So, now he's with his mother, and Leah, as they want to see what is going on with her.

"Here is some Pinot Grigio," Tyler says as he passes his mother and sister a glass. "Now, this is just from the grocery store, it's probably nothing like the wine you were enjoying in Florence."

Felicia chuckles back to him. "Honestly, it will be better since I am enjoying it with my children. Oh, you have no idea how much I missed you two."

"We missed you two Mom," Leah smiles back to her before she takes a sip of her wine. "More than you know. We are just so happy that you're back, and healthy again."

"Yes, well, we owe that to Eva, don't we?" Felicia says. "If she hadn't taken me and Dominick to the Moretti compound, I'm not sure where we would have gone."

"It was a brilliant suggestion on her part," Tyler tells her. "Because the Moretti's is somewhere that Frederick wouldn't have known existed."

"Exactly," Felicia nods back to him. "And the three of us, we all grew closer. Eva and I, we had been at odds for years, but being there with her, it made me realize that she is a lovely woman."

"And how about you and Dad?" Leah asks her next. "How are you two doing?"

Felicia uneasily smiles back to her. "You know," she looks back at her daughter. "The truth is, the time away made me realize something."

"What's that?" Tyler asks his mother.

"That I still love Dominick," Felicia explains to her children. "I always have, and I think I always will. I…I just hope that he feels the same way about me because I would love nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with him."

Twin Peaks Executive Hotel

Dominick steps off the elevator at the Executive Hotel and makes a beeline towards one of the suite doors. He is there to see Eva, who has taken her room back since she is back in Twin Peaks. With Felicia staying at Dominick's townhouse, there isn't another room for Eva, so she is back at the hotel, but Dominick wanted to see her. He knocks on her door and within a few seconds Eva, who is only wearing a silk robe, opens the door.

"Dominick, hi," she says as she allows him into the hotel room. "I wasn't expecting you tonight."

"I know, I hope I'm not interrupting?" Dominick looks back at her as she closes the door to her room. "I just wanted to see you."

"You're not interrupting, it's fine," Eva looks back. "Is everything okay with Felicia?"

"Oh yes, fine," Dominick nods. "She is visiting with Leah and Tyler; they will likely be a few hours."

"And you wanted to come here?" Eva asks him with a sly grin on her face. "What are you up too, Dominick?"

"This," he says as he moves up to her and kisses her passionately. "I've been thinking about that all day."

"Have you now?" Eva purrs back to him. "Then why don't you take off that jacket and we can continue that on the bed?"

"I'd love that," Dominick says as he starts to undress eager to be with Eva in that way again. As soon as he's jacket is off, he kisses her again and throws her onto the bed, causing her to squeal in delight.

"Make love to me, Dominick," Eva purrs before they kiss again as they continue to undress each other.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

In one of the waiting rooms, Adam, Helen, and Cheresa are all waiting together as they know that Frederick is about to start his treatment of Dawn to help her get out of her brainwashed state. While they are all thrilled that this is, finally, happening, they can't help but wonder if this is the best course for Dawn. For weeks they have been hoping for this, but now, they just hope that this is the right thing to do.

"How long do you think this will take?" a nervous Helen asks her husband her daughter's partner.

"I wouldn't be surprised if it takes more than one session, or whatever he is doing," Cheresa tells her quickly. "Dawn seems so far gone, I don't think this will be an easy process."

"I agree with Cheresa," Adam sighs back to his wife. "I think it will take time and a lot of effort to bring Dawn back to us."

"Can I be honest with you?" Helen asks as she gulps heavily. Cheresa looks over at Adam before they both nod back to Helen. "I'm scared. I…I've done some research into Frederick, and he's a criminal! He…he's done some horrific things! He almost killed Victoria by the way of a lobotomy! I mean…Victoria is crazy, that bitch buried me alive…but still!"

"What are you getting at?" Cheresa asks her.

"Do you think we can honestly trust Frederick?" Helen asks her quickly back. "After everything he has done, do you really think that he is the best one to help Dawn?"

"I do," Cheresa admits to her. "He has brainwashed people himself, which is why I think he could be the only one to undo this."

"Unless he makes things worse," Adam gulps as he looks at Helen. "Oh God, have we made a mistake by letting Frederick, of all people, help our daughter? What have we done?"

***

Meanwhile, in Dawn's hospital room, Frederick stands over her reading her file. Once he is done, he sets the file down on the bed and he sits next to Dawn, who continues to look straight forward.

"It seems like you've been through a lot in the last few months," Frederick tells Dawn. "You were brainwashed by a madwoman and as a result you killed another young girl, framed her for sending yourself threatening text messages, and then you attacked Daisy and Trenyce. You've been a very naughty girl," he grins at her. "But your family, they want you back, and that's why I'm here. I will help you Dawn. Do you want my help?"

Frederick grabs her hand and then looks at her. "I know you're in there Dawn," he tells her as he looks at her with intent. "If you want my help, squeeze my hand."

Frederick looks down at his hand but Dawn's doesn't move. "Come on Dawn," he encourages here. "I'm here to help you but I need to know that you need my help."

There it is. A soft move of Dawn's hand to squeeze Frederick's. It was light. And it only lasted a minute but it was enough for Frederick to smile back at her.

"Good, that's really good," he whispers. "I will do some exercises with you, but I will help you Dawn, I just needed to know that you're receptive to this. Let's continue…."

Barcode

Andy sips on a fresh whiskey that he ordered from the bartender. He needed another drink after Meggan's visit with him because he can't believe that she had the nerve to tell him to stay away from Logan, especially since he hopes that they will have sex again.

"Hey, I got here as soon as I could," Logan says as he moves up to his table. "What's going on?"

"Do you want to go order a drink first? You might need one," Andy quips back to him.

"Already done," Logan giggles back to him. "The bartender is going to bring it over."

Just then, the bartender puts a vodka soda in front of Logan, who thanks him. "So, what's going on?"

"Your mother tracked me down here," Andy reveals to him as Logan gasps back to him. "She told me to stay away from you."

"Oh my God," Logan groans. "I'm so sorry, Andy. I told her to mind her own business. I can't believe her!"

"I basically told her the same thing," Andy admits to him. "I…I wanted you to hear it from me so you could be prepared when you got home."

"I appreciate that," Logan says as they lock eyes. "I'm glad we are together. Because I've made a decision."

"Oh?" Andy asks him with an arched eyebrow.

Logan reaches across the table and grabs Andy's hand. "I…I want to do it," he whispers to him. "I want to have sex, this time sober, to see if I like. I want to experience that again."

Andy's drunken eyes fill with lust before he licks his lips. "Are you sure?"

"More than sure," Logan tells him. "And I trust you, Andy. So, let's do it, okay?"

"Absolutely," Andy chuckles back to him. "We will have the best time, Logan. I promise you that."
