Chapter Four

Chloe walked out from Emma’s room and headed down the hallway.

"I’ll be right there." Chloe said.

She reached the front door and turned the doorknob.

"Hello…" Chloe said. "Oh my God."

"Chlo?" Lance asked looking equally as surprised.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Bringing you this." He said handing her the purse.

"You’re Jamie’s new boss?" Chloe asked.

Lance nodded his head.

"I…I don’t know what to say."

Chloe looked down.

"This…I can’t…" she stuttered before she did the only thing she could think of.

Slammed the door.

*** Chloe slid down the back of the door and sat there in complete shock.

How could this possibly have happened?

She was so careful to leave no trail behind.

She moved across the country, she changed her last name, heck she even dyed her hair. But by a bad stroke of luck…he had found her.

*** Lance stood dumbfounded on the front step.

It was her.

His Chloe.

This was insane…after four years of looking…there she was.

He couldn’t just stand there. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Very slowly the door cracked open.

"Please go away Lance."

He shook his head.

"If you think I’m leaving you are crazy. Four years Chlo. Do you have any idea how worried I’ve been?"

"There was no reason to be. So okay, you saw me, I’m alive. You can go now." She said starting to shut the door.

"That’s it? That’s all I get? I don’t think so." He said trying to stick his foot in the door.

Chloe didn’t say anything…she just slammed the door.
