"There really isn't."

Sip.

"What happened to us, Noah?"

"We were both looking for comfort. It was just the timing of it all."

"Right. I'll see you on Thursday?"

"Or the next time our boys get themselves in trouble. I should probably get Stiles before he does something I'll regret."

He leaves his coffee unfinished, and leads her to the door.

Monday happens and Juliet is on a Mission.

Find Scott McCall.

Scott McCall appears to be in conversation with this boy.

Right. The mouthy one.

She interupts. "So, Scott. Is your mom allergic to anything?"

"No? Why? I'm Scott."

"I got that, yes. That's good. And she likes Italian food just fine?"

"She loves Italian. My dad used to cook it all the time."

"You're Juliet Salvatore, right?"

"The one and only. That's really fortunate! My dad is awesome at Italian. He really likes to embrace our heritage like that."

"That's cool. I'm glad you like Italian food? Otherwise that could get awkward."

"Her dad is going on a date with your mom tomorrow."

"Oh- oh! Why did you know that? Um, yeah, Italian sounds good. He shouldn't worry about doing anything fancy, she'll be happy with anything as long as there's tomatoes somewhere."

"I know everything that happens in this town, Scotty. You guys talk it out, I'll see you later."

He walks off.

"Tomatoes? I can work with that. I'll put it on the grocery list. He was thinking pizza, but I really don't think that's quite appropriate for a first date. He makes a good bolognese though."

"She'd probably eat pizza, too. Most nights we have takeout. Do you know how they met?"

"Well their lives revolve around us, so they obviously met at parent-teacher night last week. They bonded over dodgeball."

"Oh. I- that's good. Do you need anything from me?"

"I was kinda wondering if you wanted to hang out tomorrow. That way we can keep each other company while our parents do this date thing. You're on the lacrosse team with Matt, right?"

"Yeah. What did you want to do?"

"I've never been bowling before."

"Okay. Were you thinking of inviting Matt?"
