Back in New York, Cane’s embarrassed – did I get this wrong? No, it’s all so lovely. In tears, Traci thought so too – she was caught by surprise to have butterflies again and awaken with hope. The first kiss you imagined. You’re talking like this is over, Cane sighs. Traci knows exactly when it started for her. Cane asked how she was and actually waited for an answer. It was amazing. Traci realized she’s a person worthy of attention, respect. When you inspired my writing it was thrilling. Flynn is exactly like you. But, now that that’s over.

Traci promises to always be there for him ~hug~

When Abby goes to take a call, Lola calls Theo to see if he has a few minutes to talk today.
