Mel was in her friend’s lake house where she was there to relax after her exhausting break up from Justin. She saw that her friend, Jane’s brother Matt was there too. It has been years since Mel saw Matt.
As few days passed, Mel see that Matt and Jane had a strong bond. They would constantly tease each other.
On the fourth day, Matt invited Mel to a dinner, as a date.
“Uh, yeah. Sure, why not?” Mel said.
But she was thinking if she was ready for a date after her heartbreak.
At their dinner, Mel noticed that she was having fun. At one point, Matt’s phone started to rang. And it didn’t stop. It constantly ranged.
He then excused himself to answer back. And then returned as he smiled towards Mel.
“Everything okay?”
Matt explained that it was work related as he said that nothing to be worry about.
Then his phone rang again. He excused himself once more, and Mel decided to follow him. She saw him talking to a woman outside.
When they noticed Mel, Matt was startled. He then introduced his ex-wife, Laura, to Mel. She was shocked.
Suddenly Laura invited Mel to the dinner for tomorrow. “Why don’t you both come to dinner tomorrow?”
Matt agreed before Mel could say anything.

The dinner started uncomfortably as Laura was acting too close with Matt. She would tell stories from their past, and would constantly come closer to Matt.
Matt was giving short answers as he was not interested. “Yeah, that was a long time ago,” he would say.
Then Mel needed some air, and she excused herself.
Then she heard a little girl talking to her.
“Are you here with my daddy?”
Mel was petrified.
Then Matt picked Lily up and told his daughter that it was time for bed.
His smiled at her which that made Mel happy. As they left, Laura appeared with a stern face. “You don’t belong here, you know.”

On the next day, Mel was sad that she received no texts or calls from Matt. She told Jane that she will be returning, despite Jane insisted on her to stay.
As she was in the taxi, on her way to the airport, she then saw a car was speeding next to them, and stopped the taxi. It was Matt. He wanted Mel to stay for a while.
He told her that he fell in love with her. He apologized for being late, and added that he was scared that she would hurt him for he had a daughter.
Mel tore her plane ticket, and kissed Matt as she fell in love with him too. As months passed, little Lilly was carrying flowers for Mel, at the wedding.
