Background: Set 12 years after high school. Quinn goes by Lucy again in this story. So Lucy and Sam got married during their second year of college at Yale. She had a child a year later named Owen. When he was three they separated and Lucy got full custody of him. He visits with Sam every summer and the story starts with Lucy dropping him off...

Preface: It was just a one night stand, that's always how it starts for me.

Lucy's POV-

Owen and I drove the hour and a half car ride from our house to Sam's. I tried not to think about how seeing my ex-husband would feel but those feelings were there. We divorced almost five years ago but seeing him each summer opened up the wounds.

"Mom, can't you stay with dad and I over the summer?" The big lipped blonde seven year old asked from the backseat. I looked at him from the rearview mirror. He was coloring in his doggy notebook I had just gotten him.

"Sweetie I don't think Mercedes would like that very much. Besides I'm going to visit Aunt Rachel in New York." I said avoiding eye contact. Mercedes and Sam had gotten back together shortly after Sam and I divorced.

"Okay, but daddy misses you. He always asks about you." Now I smiled. Owen was always telling me things like this but I didnt know how to respond.

"Okay, look sweetie we're here." I said pulling into the driveway. He got out and ran into his father's arms. I looked ahead at Sam's house, well mansion. After our divorce I got the house and he got to keep all his cars. They happened to be old and rare so he sold them all and bought this place.

"Hey Luce." Sam called out. I pushed my sunglasses over my eyes and got out of the car.

"Hey Sam. How's everything been going?" I put on a nice face for Owen. I wanted him to have a dad growing up, especially since I never really had a good one.

"Good, how about you? I hear your going to New York for the summer."

"Yeah, to visit Rachel and the gang." I smiled. Going to see everyone was a last minute decision but it seemed like the best considering the circumstances.

"Cool, tell them I say hi. Would you like to come in?" He offered polietly.

"No, I think I better get going. I still have to pack and stuff." I lied. All my suitcases were piled neatly near the door. I couldnt risk going in and seeing Mercedes. After everything with Sam we were no longer friends.

"Liar, I bet its all by the door and has been for weeks." Damn, he knew me so well.

"It has been." Owen joined in before running into the house with his suitcase. I mentally wanted to slap him, why do kids always do that?

"Just come inside for a drink. Owen will be fine. He usually gets involved with the playstation the first night and I dont see him." He chuckled.

"Is Mercedes home?"

"No, she's doing wedding plans. Something about flowers and centerpieces." Sam shrugged.

"You've never paid attention to that kind of stuff." I said laughing.

"I love your laugh." He smiled and I blushed.

"Thanks, I guess one drink wouldn't hurt." I smiled. He led me into his huge home. We went to the mini bar in the basement and drank. He poured me tequila while he got some scotch. One drink turned into five and I was too trashed to drive, so I stayed the night. In my ex-husband's bed. Maybe not one of my best judgements.
