gets mad when Rachel does this. Rachel always says that Gia resembles Megan Fox. When she tells Gia, she says, “No I don’t.” When someone else tells her, she says, “You really think so?”
    Carson walked toward Rachel and hugged her.
    “Hey ,Rach,” he said as he kissed her on the cheek.
    “Hi, Carsy… I hope you have good news.”
    “Let’s go inside and get settled.”
    He placed his hand on her back and guided her into the restaurant. The diner was a little crowded because it was lunchtime. Rachel ordered a diet Pepsi and cheese steak eggrolls. She absolutely loved them and talked Carson into getting them as well.
    “So, what’s going on?” She asked with a concerned look on her face.
    “Vinnie received the divorce papers on Tuesday. He called me and said that he was shocked when he found out I was representing you. I told him Gia asked me to while she was on maternity leave. He promised me that he will never divorce you. He had other stuff to say, too.”
    “Like what?” Rachel asked curiously.
    “He said that I have always loved you and that I wanted to take you from him for revenge. He also said that the only reason I’m handling your case is to spend time with you.”
    “Is he crazy? Does he not think that the reason I want to divorce him is because of what he did and that I called you?”
    “We know this. He’s upset, but…”
    “But… what?”
    “He’s right.”
    “Who… Vinnie?”
    “Yeah…”
    “About what?”
    “I’ve been thinking a lot this past week. Maria doesn’t want to get married. You and Vinnie are done. I think its fate. Everything happens for a reason. I think I could never really settle because I never got over you. I have loved you since we were kids. I know this complicates things. You will probably need a new lawyer.”
    “Carsy, I’m speechless. I wasn’t expecting that. I assumed you’ve been over what happened.”
    Carson leaned across the table and grabbed Rachel’s hand.
    “I want to make you happy. I want to treat you how you should be treated, make love to you day and night. I know this all sounds so crazy, but I realized this after I saw you last Monday. I had to wait to see you again until I figured out my feelings. Then, I received the call from Vinnie.”
    “Carsy, I don’t know what to say? I don’t think I could do this to Maria and Vinnie would go ballistic.”
    “Rach, I don’t care. I’m tired of living for everyone else. I let him win before. You belong with me. We had a great love.”
    “I know, Carsy. I loved you very much.”
    “Can we at least try?”
    “Let me at least think about it. I have a lot going on,” Rachel pleaded.
    “Okay. Even though Maria doesn’t want to get married, I don’t think I could have married her. Get him to sign the papers.”
    The declaration came as a surprise to Rachel. She always had a feeling that Carson still loved her, but she
    never really knew how he felt. She always saw him looking at her at family parties, but she never really gave it much thought.
    “That’s easier said than done. I haven’t even talked to Vinnie since last week when he said he was done with me. I’ll see him tonight at the boy’s baseball game.”
    Carson has a pained look on his face. He was expecting Rachel to say how she really felt about him but he didn’t want to push her too hard. He was just going to be straight up with her.
    “Will you go out with me on Saturday night?”
    Carson was afraid of what her response was going to be.
    “I don’t think that will go over so well. Weren’t you the one who said I shouldn’t date or talk to anyone or did you say that for your own purposes?”
    “Well, I usually have to ask that question and when you said you were talking to that guy, I felt jealous. I want you back and all to myself. I don’t want to share you with Vinnie or anyone else.”
    “Carsy, it was a very long time ago. I’m a different person now. I have kids and a demanding job. Back then, I was
