    “Well since I couldn’t remember what happened they brought in a shrink, that explained that with everything going on in my life, that I had a mental breakdown, that hearing what was going on behind my back that it made me snap.”
    “Soph, I think if we can find any sort of evidence that we could actually have a case again him.” I shake my head and he looks to me as if I am insane.
    “I just want this to be over with. I don’t want him in my life longer than what he has to be. He really hurt me; broke my heart even and I just can’t put myself through that.”
    “I’m sorry, Soph,” he says letting his hand fall on top of mine. I want to pull it away, but I don’t. “But the mental breakdown I can work with.” He smiles, sadly at me.
    “Mar, told me that you are the best,” I tell him and smiles at me.
    “Well that was very gracious of her, but I’m alright.”
    “Then why would she call you the best?” I ask because I know that he is just being modest.
    “Because I haven’t lost a case, and I haven’t had the best of clients.”
    “That’s amazing,” I tell him but he just shrugs, “What is it?”
    “Honestly, I’m good, but I’ve never wanted to do this; I only did it because my dad paid for college.”
    “Well then what do you want to do?”
    “Play music.”
    “Like an instrument?”
    “Yeah, I play guitar.”
    “Really,” I nearly squeal and he take s notice, laughing. “Will you play for me sometimes?” I ask him and he rubs his hand along his neck.
    “I don’t know, Soph,” he pauses looking down at the table and for once he looks younger than I have ever seen him before, and then I figure it out.
    “Oh god, that’s your move isn’t it?” I whisper across the table, smirking at myself, and trying not to laugh.
    “What?” he tries to play innocent.
    “Your move, you pick the girl, bring her back to your place, and break out some cheesy acoustic ballad.” He looks down and I think I see a little pink to his cheeks. “Oh, my god, I’m right… I knew it.” he looks around nervously.
    “Yeah,” he says, embarrassed.
    “Oh, it’s alright. But I don’t want you to play your sex ballad to me; I want you to play what you really like to play.” He looks back up to me smiling.
    “Alright.”
    “Really?” I can’t help but grin.
    “Sure, if yo u really want to hear it.” I nod my head quickly as he laughs at me.
    “So tell me, why were you in Savannah?” I ask.
    “I had a court case.”
    “That you won of course.” I think I roll my eyes a bit. He laughs and rubs his hand on the back of his neck. I am starting to realize that he does this when he is nervous or being modest. “So, can I ask a question?”
    “You just did, but go ahead.” He grins at me.
    “Aha,” I add dryly, “So, the note, why did you leave it on my door?” his face falls and I watch his hand begin to make its way but up the back of his back when the waitress comes up and places the food in front of us. My eyes grow wider as I look to the food sitting in front of us; I think that I hear him sigh loudly, and I forget about what we were talking about.

Chapter Five
     
     
    I pull up to the house an hour later, completely stuffed. I see Mar’s car when I pull in and I park beside it. My car is nicer than I deserve, seeing as I paid for it in cash. I walk through the front door and Marsi stops what she is doing in the kitchen.
    “How was your appointment?”
    “Good,” I answer her, suspecting that she is going to pick me for information.
    “Good,” her eyes are wide like she is going to lecture me, “Soph , this appointment is about the court case that you have.” Yup, there it is.
    “Yeah, Austin said that he can probably figure it out.”
    “Well that’s good. Where’d you go afterwards?”
    “What makes you think that I went somewhere afterwards?”
    “Because your appointment was at eleven and it’s almost one now.”
    “Well Austin and I got some lunch
