Hanna Marin sat in her bedroom, flipping through her favorite magazine. She was a little too anxious to really comprehend what her eyes were scanning over, though. Her mother had left on a business trip to discuss the bank's new regulations or something along those lines. Hanna hadn't really paid that much attention; all she knew was that her mother was gone for a week. Which left her alone in a house which 'A' could break into at any time.

If it hadn't been for the juvenile delinquent living in her basement, she would be scared as all hell.

Her mind began to switch gears and her thoughts moved to Caleb. Did she feel anything for the bad boy? Well, of course she did. His stupid smirk made her weak in the knees. But did he care for her at all? She knew he thought of her as a friend at least, considering what they've gone through together and how he had helped her mother with the supposed James Leeland. Did he like her more than that? Did she want him to? Could anything even work out between them?

Hanna shook her head as if to clear her thoughts. There were too many questions and she didn't feel like even trying to figure out the answers. She tossed her magazine aside and got up from her seat on her bed. Deciding to get something to drink, she started downstairs.

Spotting a faint glow in the kitchen, she moved towards and discovered it was the light from the open refrigerator.

She also saw a shirtless Caleb pouring himself some water.
