Eliza sat there, on her sad excuse for a couch, staring at Alex's number.

Could she trust him?

She had a daughter now, so she had to be more careful then her high school years. He seemed very sincere, and very kind-hearted.

 But could it be a trick?

Could he just be faking it?

What if he was tracking her down to find her and her daughter?

He also seemed clueless when he saw her. He wasn't expecting her to be there. He didn't even know Phillipa was his. Once he figured it out, he wanted to get to know her so badly. He even started crying!

"What should I do?" Eliza thought

Then she realized. Even though she changed over the years (and not for the better), she still saw good in him. 

So she decided to give him a shot. (lmao the triggers)

So she called him

                                                                                                          * * * 

Alex sat in his office. He had finished college in Boston, but he was so distracted by personal life that he didn't do great in school.

C and D average to be exact

But he passed, which was important.

He still didn't have a good job, though.

He was copying notes onto the computer, almost falling asleep, when his phone buzzed. He was shocked to find that it was Eliza. So he ran outside and took the call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Alexander. So I've been thinking about what you said. Meet me at 28 Soo Ave, and you can have a day with your daughter. I feel like its the right thing to do. Ok?"

"Really?! Ok! Defiantly! I'll be there in 5 minutes, because I think I'm close by. I live on 38 Miranda Way. See you soon!"

"Bye, Alex"

And with that Alex got up, and started driving to Eliza and Pippa's apartment.
