would say my name before I would walk in, but I didn't want any confrontation, so I never called her out in her lie.
    "We were just trying to figure out a way to help you deal with everything, because honey, it HAS been a year and a half and I know you don't want to, but you do need to, well, just DO something! Anything, besides what you have been doing. And don't get upset. It was out of love and worry for you that we discussed it anyway." I could hear the sincerity in his voice and he sounded like he was going to cry. The last thing I want to do is make my dad cry.
    "Well, don't check into any white coats yet, Dad. I'm going to be ok. I realized today that how I'm dealing with this is affecting you all as well. As a matter of fact, I really need to get off of here and start getting ready, because my day isn't over yet. I'm going with Claud to a business meeting over drinks and then we are going to dinner." There. That should make him feel better.
    "Oh, that is wonderful, sweetheart. You have made your old man happy! Go. Go get ready. I need to go tell your mom what a great day you've had. Have fun tonight, sweetheart! I'm sure your mom will be calling you tomorrow to see how your night went." I could tell that he was very happy and excited for me.
    "I sure will, Daddy. I love you and give Mom a hug and a kiss from me. Bye, Dad."
    "Bye, sweetheart. And I sure will. A big kiss right on the lips! Haha."
    "Haha. Ok.. You're such a mess. Goodbye." And then I hung up the phone. I leave my bedroom and go into the living room to see if Claudia is ready to start on my hair, and she has our dresses out along with our shoes and some jewelry she bought.
    "Oh, you're awake! Awesome! Are you ready to get this party started? Yay! I'm so excited! Follow me to my salon! I have some great ideas for your hair! Bahahahaha."
    Oh no. Her evil laugh. Now I'm scared, but I am excited to go out, which is a good thing, because it’s been a very long time since I've been excited about anything.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER THREE
     
    I hate to admit it, but Claudia did a fantastic job on my hair. She curled every bit of my hair into long bouncy curls and pulled my sides up and held them together with a sterling silver clip. After having everything on, including a necklace she let me borrow, I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe that it was me staring back. I've never considered myself beautiful, but looking into the mirror at myself with my hair done and a little bit of makeup on, I certainly felt it.
    We walk into the bar at the Plaza and I look around, and it doesn't look like a bar at all. It looks like an old library, mixed in with a saloon with big mahogany wood round tables and wooden chairs that match. There is an almost antique feel about the whole place.
    "Oh I see him. He's over in the little corner over there." She pointed to the corner to the far right and honestly, he didn't look like a P.O.S. from where I was standing. I followed her to the table, when she waved and took off towards it.
    "I feel like a lucky man tonight! Not only do I get to look at one beautiful woman, but two!" He stands up and extends his hand out to me and I shake it.
    "It’s very nice to meet you. My name is Paul Scott. And you are?" He put his other hand on top of my hand and started rubbing my hand, and looking at me from the bottom of my feet all the way up to my face and then lowered his eyes to my cleavage. He realized I noticed what he was doing and smiled at me. What a jerk!
    "Olivia Porter, it’s very nice to meet you as well." I had to tug at my hand to pry it out of his hands.
    "Are you any relation to Claudia?" I know he was looking between us to see if there was any resemblance.
    "Mr. Scott, it doesn't matter if we are related or not. I didn't bring her with me for you to inquisition, or ogle her. You said you needed to talk to me about the case, so let’s talk about the case." Saved by the bell. Or shall I say
