Reece walked outside hoping to catch Marjorie before she left.

"Marj—orie. Marjorie. Marjorie.." Reece said, walking towards her car.
"What do you want?" Marjorie turned to face him.
"I want to apologize for earlier. I didn't mean to and I know I've said that before but I'm truly sorry." Reece said, looking Marjorie in the eye.
"Hmm. Fine. Whatever." Marjorie said, hiding a faint smile.
"I was wondering if you want to go out for drinks sometime? As friends or like, um, colleagues." Reece said, messing with his hands.
"I don't—- You know what? Sure. Let's do tonight." Marjorie said. "I would rather drink at my house though because I am such a lightweight."
"That's fine." Reece said, feeling his body tense up.
"I have tequila. If you want something else you'll have to bring it." Marjorie said, raising an eyebrow. "Hand me your phone."
"Okay." Reece said, taking his phone out of his pocket.

Marjorie rolled up her sleeves and took Reeces phone out of his hands. She put her contact information in.

"Here. Text me when you get off." Marjorie said, handing the phone back to Reece.
"Well, I'm off now." Reece looked back at the nursery.

"Hmm. What about Autumn." Marjorie looked down.
"What about her?" Reece asked.
"She has told me about the shit you have done to her. You certainly live up to your nickname, piranha." Marjorie grabbed her phone out of her pocket.
"I might— yeah. I did. What she didn't tell you is why I did it. Frankly she doesn't know." Reece said, standing straight up.
"What do you mean?" Marjorie questioned.
"I'll tell you later." Reece said.
"Autumn doesn't know what?" Autumn walked up to them.

Marjorie looked at Autumn. Reece looked the opposite way.

"Marjorie, please tell me you aren't going on a date with him." Autumn said, side-eying Reece.
"It's not a date. It's drinks." Reece spoke up.
"Hmm. Your place right Marjorie?" Autumn smirked.
"Yeah. You know how I get." Marjorie said.

"I'll be there. You can tell me over a bottle of rose." Autumn said, walking away and smiling.

Reece let out a sigh he didn't know he was holding. He looked at Marjorie who was texting rapidly on her phone.

"Just drive to my house now. Hell, Autumn is probably on her way now." Marjorie said, shutting her phone off.
"Okay." Reece smiled and walked to his car.

Marjorie sat in her car and put her hands on her head, taking a deep breath in. She then pulled out and drove to her house, where she found Autumns car.

"About time." Autumn said, walking out of Marjorie's house.
"I forgot that you have a key. I see you've helped yourself?" Marjorie said, pointing to the glass in Autumns hand.
"I hope Reece brings wine. Straight tequila? Marjorie get a grip." Autumn chuckled before she walked back inside.

Marjorie followed Autumn inside and poured a shot of tequila. Marjorie downed it and set the glass back down.

"I wasn't trying to—" Marjorie said, wincing at the taste of tequila.
"I know. I can tell Reece is falling in love with you. I don't care, I just need you to be aware of the type of person he is." Autumn said, walking closer to Marjorie.

Marjorie opened her eyes and looked at Autumn. For once, Autumn walked over to Marjorie and wrapped her arms around her. Marjorie, trying not to freak out, reciprocated.

"If you want, I'll leave you two alone while you talk." Marjorie said, putting her hand on Autumns arm.
"No. I want you to stay." Autumn said, letting go of Marjorie.

The two were interrupted by a knock at the door. Marjorie walked out of the kitchen and opened the door. Reece was standing there with a 6pack of beer and a bottle of rose.

"Hey." Reece smiled.
"Hey. Come in." Marjorie said, moving off to the side.
"Your house is adorable. It smells good." Reece said, taking in the view.
"Thank you." Marjorie felt her face getting hot.

Marjorie led Reece to the kitchen, where Autumn was. Reece set down the wine and Autumn immediately opened it and poured herself and Marjorie a glass.

"So Autumn," Reece started.
"Let's go into the living room. You guys will probably be more comfortable there." Marjorie interrupted, grabbing Autumns hand and walking into the kitchen.

Reece followed the two women to the living room. Autumn and Marjorie sat on one side of the couch next to each other, while Reece sat on the other side.

"Okay. Spill." Autumn took a deep breath in.

Reece told everything to Autumn, and Autumn grabbed Marjorie's hand. Reece told her how it wasn't Mia's fault, which got a confused look from Marjorie because she doesn't know who she is, and how everything was always Roger.

"I'm sorry." Reece said, putting his head down.

Autumn was still holding Marjorie's hand. Instead of cursing and yelling at Reece, she walked over to him and hugged him.

"All this time I thought this was your doing. I'm sorry." Autumn said.
"It's okay. You didn't know and I didn't know until recently." Reece said, gently putting his arms around his sister.

Autumn pulled away from the hug and turned around to faintly smile at Marjorie.

"Winters here. I called him a while ago. Thank you Marjorie." Autumn said, grabbing her purse.
"It's no problem my love." Marjorie smiled.
"Bye big brother." Autumn said, walking out the door.

Reece waved and stood up to let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Marjorie stood up and walked over to him.

"I'm sorry you and Autumn had to go through that." Marjorie said, wrapping her arms around Reece.

Reece felt his body tingle as Marjorie wrapped her arms around him. He immediately relaxed into her touch.

"Thank you." Reece sighed.
