“I’m not a baby anymore J. I’m 18 now. I’m an adult now.”

“Not legally.” Alice smiled at the two sisters bicker.

“Whatever, it was nice to meet you Leah.”

“Same here.” Leah grabbed her bags and headed up the stairs.

“So how long is she staying with us?”

“Under a month I think.”

“Well, this should be fun. I have some time to get to know my future sister-in-law.” Jordana smiled at her fiance and grabbed the bags.

“I’m heading upstairs to put my things away.”

“I’ll be up there in a minute.” Jordana headed up the steps, and Alice walked back into the kitchen. She pours herself another cup of tea and walked out of the kitchen. She walked towards the steps and headed towards her bedroom.

            Kit was walking around The Planet, finishing up with lunch hour and getting around for the crowd to come in. She got off the phone with Christina to see if she wanted to come in tonight. She walked back around the bar and started to get everything set up. Someone walked in and took a look around. Kit sat the cups down and looked up. She couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw this person standing there in her caf.

“Hi Kit.”

“Ivan.” Kit walked around the bar and gave “him” a hug. He embraces her in his arms. “I’ve missed you.”

“I’ve missed you.” They pulled away from each other. “You look good.”

“Thank you, so do you. So what brought you back to LA?”

“I have some unfinished business to take care of. I wanted to see how you were doing.”

“I’m doing really good, I’m fine.” Ivan grabbed Kit’s hand.

“No, how are you really doing?” Kit looked into Ivan’s eyes and her wall started to fall.

“I’m doing that well. I’m holding on though. I lost my father a few months ago.”

“I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Oh no, it’s fine. I’m hanging in there. I’ve haven’t picked up a drink in a long time. I feel good about myself.”

“That’s good to hear. I’m proud of you.”

“Thank you, I really hate to cut this reunion short, I have some things I need to take care of.”

“Well, I’ll stop by later tonight.”

“Alright, I’ll see you tonight.” Kit started to walk away, but Ivan grabbed her. He pulled her close to him and kissed her softly. Kit kissed him back, but pulled away. “I’m sorry, but I really got to go.” Ivan let go of her.

“Alright, see ya later.”

“Bye.” Ivan turned around and walked out of The Planet. Kit took a deep breath and walked back behind the bar. She grabbed a bottle of water and took a drink of it.

“God, I wish I can have a Jack Daniels right now.” Kit walked away from the bar and head towards the office.
