Dear Paxton:

Memories of Cole flashed across her memory, bringing a heaviness to the pit of her stomach. She quickly dismissed the feelings, telling herself that she was better off without a man like Cole. She had Joe to spend time with now, yes it was different, more like a brotherly relationship, but she was not alone.

As if Joe were inside her thoughts, the phone rang. It was Joe wanting to take Lisa out to dinner and a movie at Santa Monica Marketplace. She agreed to go.
