Pinõn Hallow Mall—Adel’s Office

Adel looked at Maggie’s application, “Welcome back to Pinõn Hallow Mall, Maggie. I’m glad your back; I just wish I could’ve given you back your position at Imagination.”

“Thank you so much Mrs. Davis, you have no idea how much I need this.” Maggie was beaming with joy.

“You can start today, get to know the office of The Java Jet, and some of the staff. Oh and there as you know is a uniform, its simple I know how annoying they can be.”

“Is it still the yellow shirt, with black apron?” Maggie took the elastic from her wrist and pulled her hair back.

“Actually no, its now jeans, and a blue shirt which we have a stock of in the office.” Adel said as she was picking up a pile of keys, “You’ll need these, a key to the gate and door of the Java Jet, and of course one to the mall, and one to the shipping area so you can get your supplies.”

“Thank you again Mrs. Davis.” Maggie said getting up to leave as she put the keys on her chain.


Hallow Hills—Pool House

Abby stood in Chad’s kitchen, as she prepared two bottles of formula for the twins. Chad came in carrying Del in one arm and looking around frantically. “Have you seen the diapers?”

Abby nodded, “Yeah I put them in the twins room. Follow me.” She grabbed the bottles and they went into the nursery.

Chad looked around and saw how organized it was, “You did all this?”

“Yeah, without organization this would be complete chaos.” She said as she placed the bottles down on the dresser and took Del from Chad, “Come on little guy, let’s get you cleaned up.

Abby expertly removed the diaper and cleaned Del up, Chad looked on in amazement.

“Wow, you’re really good at this.”

“I would hope so, you are paying me to look after them.” she picked Del up and put him back in the basinet. “I’ll show you where everything is.”

“Thanks, I just hope we can keep it up.”

“I’m sure we will. I’m slightly Obsessive Compulsive, it’ll stay this way.” She explained as she opened the closet door and revealed that it was filled with shelves with different products for the twins. “Oh, here’s the diaper pail, very secure so you don’t have to smell anything.” She pressed it open with my foot and tossed the dirty diaper in.

“Thank you for organizing this, I don’t think I even thought of half this stuff.”

“I’m just grateful you’re letting me into the lives of your children Mr. Davis.”


Love and Honor Set

Kyle followed the young man delivering flowers for the finale. He slipped into the shadows, amazed at what the studio actually looked like. He saw Wink Montana and Brock Jensen getting the last few touches of make up before taping began.

Kyle saw Trista and Joan being brought out, each wearing cocktail dresses. Trista leaned over to Joan to wish her luck and Joan thanked her.

The crew got into position and before Kyle knew it he was in the background of the set, hiding behind a bunch of flowers.

“Good evening America, tonight is the night that your favorite bachelor, Brock Jensen picks the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with loving and honoring.” Wink smiled into the camera, “Ladies, please join us.”

Trista and Joan both entered the stage area, each standing on one side of Brock.

“Tonight, in just a short while, Brock will present the final key, America lets first look back on the past few weeks and look at some highlights of Brock with Trista and Joan.”

The montage began, and then they went to commercial, Kyle was stuck in place, people were all around and there was no where for him to break free, he would have to do this on National Television, that was now for sure.

“Welcome back to Love and Honor, the time has now come for the final key ceremony, who will Brock Jensen choose, you’ll find out in just a moment.” Wink said as a prop guy appeared on stage with the final key, and a ring box to be placed on the podium. Trista and Joan stood in front of the faux fireplace and held hands, their eyes watching Brock.

“The woman I choose tonight, to spend the rest of my life captured my heart the first time I saw her. I knew then, what I still know now that she is the one for me.” Brock began as he picked up the key and held it in his hand, “So tonight—“

“Stop!” Kyle yelled as he came out from behind the flowers, “I have something to say before we go on.”

Trista stared at him, “Kyle, you’re on National LIVE television right now. What is going on?”

Wink looked at Kyle, “Who are you and why are you interrupting the key ceremony?”

“I’m Kyle Roberts and I love this woman!” He declared as he pointed directly at Trista, “I met her in January and immediately fell in love with her, she is the only woman in the world that can complete me.”

Trista took a step forward, “Kyle this could’ve waited, trust me.”

“No it couldn’t.” he took her hands in his, “I wanted to tell you this before he presented the final key. Trista, I love you. I got so jealous when you applied that I didn’t know how to handle it. It’s part of the pattern of mistakes I make, and I want to end that. I want to stop making mistakes, and make things right with you.”

Wink turned to the camera, “I promised you twists America, and this is certainly one.”

“Trista forget about Brock, let me have the key to your heart.” Kyle pleaded as his eyes locked with hers, causing her to smile.

“Oh Kyle!” she declared before throwing her arms around him in a hug.

“Um, Trista, Brock still has a choice to make, may we present the final key now?” Wink asked.

Trista pulled back from Kyle, but only a little bit as she watched Brock hold up the Key for the camera’s, “I would like to offer the final key to Joan, the love of my life. I’m just very glad we had this chance to reunite.”

Joan stepped forward, “I will gladly accept the key Brock.” She smiled before he leaned down and kissed her.

Kyle leaned over to Trista, “So I had no reason to worry I was going to lose you?”

Trista smiled, “None at all, Brock’s had Joan in his sight since he found out she was on the show.”


Siobhan’s Apartment

Siobhan starred at the screen, “What the hell are you doing Kyle?!”

Conner came in from the hallway, “Siobhan I can hear you all the way upstairs in my apartment, what the hell is going on?”

“Kyle is on the love and Honor set, he just told Trista he loves her. Then Brock Jensen gave the final key to Joan!”

“Siobhan, you’re going nuts, just relax okay. It’s just television, you’ve got to know this is all fixed, right?”

“It is so not fixed! You can force someone to love you!”

Conner rolled his eyes, “Alright then, I have to go meet Grace we’re having coffee, please relax.”

“Bye.” She said, still staring at the screen.


The Java Jet

Conner and Grace were sitting at the corner table; Maggie came out from the back and paused when she saw him. Her heart fluttered like a butterfly on the first day of spring. She watched him for a moment, and then it hit her, he was here on a date as he pushed Grace’s long red hair behind her ear.

Maggie ducked into the back just as Conner looked up, for a moment he was positive he had seen Maggie. But he knew that couldn’t be, she was in Nashville, with her husband Kevin Lane.


Downtown Pinõn Hallow

The streets were deserted in down town, as the sun was setting and everyone was at home watching the finale of Love and Honor.

Well everyone except Dr. Carla Harrison, as she locked up the door to her office she stepped out into the street, off in her own little world as she plotting how to insert herself into Chad’s life now that his wife had died. She actually stopped in the middle of the street for a moment and smiled to herself.

She never saw it coming, as the headlights were not on, and before Carla knew what was happening, she’d been hit by the lone car, and was lying dying in the middle of the street.

Kevin Lane pulled to the side of the road, as the pain in his head began to become blinding, he was sure he had hit a dog or something but he couldn’t see anything in the rearview mirror. He rubbed his temples and the pain began to cease, he looked at the ticket sitting on the seat next to him. “Good bye Maggie, I’ll always love you.” He said into the night sky before turning on the car again, and putting his headlights on.
