Touching Peyton used to bring me nothing but a sense of calm and a feeling of safety, but after that summer…

“Nothing, just don’t have her end up doing a topless tango on the furniture or something.

Spencer is best friends with Kyla and very much in love with Ashley, who doesn’t even know she exists. Then Cupid (aka Kyla) steps in (code for meddles!)and things get interesting…

“Indeed. After today you’re family.” She glanced up and towards Ashley. “You’re all family then, really”

“Well, you’re my recovering drunk whore now, she he can go bite himself in the ass for all I care.”

“You know, this habit you have of not answering when I ask pretty important questions is kind of annoying.”

“Hey, isn’t that Madison’s cousin she’s basically dry humping with?”

“Oh, don’t get too excited, I only need you ‘cos I don’t know anyone else that can get me strippers on short notice.

Aw, screw it! God never liked me anyway, so I might as well get it over with.

“And isn’t it customary to share a kiss after a date?”

“Still with the sleep groping, Spencer? I thought you learned your lesson after the Kyla incident?”

The kid was something else alright. She already liked him more than anyone else in Spencer’s family.

“Oh, you mean when I showed up half drunk at four in the morning to say goodbye to Spencer before leaving?

“Yes, Spence, you and me and a lot of seducing. Get used to the idea.”

Spencer snickered to herself and took another sip of her drink. Aiden was such a girl sometimes.

Kyla’s getting married and this leads to Ashley and Spencer meeting again for the first time in seven years.

A glimpse of their final goodnight…

Brooke gets a message that forces her to go back home, however painful that might be. Breyton!
