“Is that why all of a sudden you want to open up another location to make more money?”

“No, no that’s not it at all baby financially were great we both make great money but if I open up a second location it will give me the notoriety and opportunity to expand my brand.”

“So, you’ve already made your decision then?”

“No, not at all my agent called and she thinks she may have found the perfect location in Los Angles she wants me to fly out to check out the property if I like what I see then I can begin the next step.”

“Which is?”

“Designing it and getting the necessary paperwork and permits needed.” All of the information she just heard was becoming too much she abruptly gets up from the sofa and begins to pace back and forth. Seeing her reaction Lara knew immediately she wasn’t happy about the news.

“Talk to me Dane what are you thinking?”

“What am I thinking I don’t know everything your saying is I, I, I what about me huh, you know I have a career here to Lara did you ever stop to think about that!? And what if you did open up this second location do you want to move back to the states? Would I have to stay here? I’m asking because I don’t mind being in a long distant relationship but you in Los Angeles and me here that’s a little too much distance!” Lara getting up from the sofa walks towards her.

“Hey, listen to me, “she says grabbing her waist pulling her into her, “I love you more than anything else in this world nothing nor anyone could ever change that. I wanted to talk to you about it first now can I give you the good news.”

“More good news really Lara you’re just full of great news today aren’t you, “she says sarcastically.

“I’m flying out to Los Angeles next Wednesday to see the location, “Dana gave her a questionable look, “I promise you no final decision has been made I’m only looking I promise.”

“You’re leaving me that’s the good news!?”

“No, I’m flying to Los Angeles and I want you to come with me, “she says only to have Dana stare at her.” It’s been 8 years since we’ve been back and I figured given the amount of time that has gone by it would be great for you to see and visit your friends and family.” Hearing Lara mention her friends and family caused her to choke up a little. She missed them just as much as they missed her and it never dawned on her to return to the place that held so many memories. She spoke to everyone on the phone and skyped from time to time but with all the current technology nothing compared to seeing them face to face Shane, Bette, Tina, Kit, Helena, Jenny, Max, and Alice.
