After settling in the restaurant and placing their order they all discussed their future career plans and heard Kate's wedding plans. Kate and Nick told them they are now permanently shifting to London, initially for work Nick moved to Manchester and after some time Kate too found a job there to live close to him but now as Michael has made him a partner, he asked them to shift back to London and operate from here.

Patrick and Emily tried to avoid each other during this dinner. Emily was really trying hard to not think about that kiss, she cursed herself for initiating it. The moment she saw Patrick in a white T-Shirt she had wild thoughts about him, she always liked seeing him in white and when he was about to leave her in that balcony, she remembered the day they broke up and he left her and that day she couldn't do anything to stop him and somewhere that is what triggered her and this was what led her to not be able to control herself when they were alone on that balcony. She regretted her actions but she wanted to do it again. There Patrick too was having similar thoughts but he has better control on himself so he was not suffering as much as Emily.

​​

During the dinner Patrick and Emily very well avoided each other and no one got any clue of what happened on that balcony behind the metal door.

After dinner Emily left with Matt, Nick and Kate went together and so did Rachel and Patrick.

Emily was silent during the entire journey and Matt decided to shut his mouth and not say anything. They reached their apartment and they went to their respective homes.

On the other hand, Patrick was driving the car and was unusually calm, he was not saying anything, Rachel sensed something was wrong but didn't know what. She assumed probably seeing Emily triggered him in some way. She was confused if she should say something or not, should she ask him to share his feelings or not, while thinking all of these she was stealing glances at him.

"You want to say something?" He seriously asked, he could feel she was staring at him and wanted to ask him something but was hesitating to do so.

"I actually want to ask something"

"Shoot"

"Why do you seem to be in a bad mood?"

"Do I seem to be in a bad mood?" He cross-questioned.

Rachel got annoyed with his response and said, "yes you seem to be in a very bad mood"

"Oh okay, if you think so"

"What kind of a reply is this?" Rachel was now more annoyed.

"What kind of reply are you talking about?"

"Oh god Pat, let's stop talking, having a conversation with you is so difficult."

"Is that so?"

Rachel was now not sure if he is intentionally trying to be annoying or it is his real personality, initially when he was dating Emily, he was not this cranky and Emily was the one who use to deal with all social gatherings and at times she used to reply on behalf of Pat and the only thing Pat did was look at her with a faint smile on his lips, he used to look at her as if she was the only person who exists in this world.

Kate and Rachel used to feel jealous of Emily as the cold man who sends chills through other people was caring and loving only to her. He was caring towards Kate and Rachel too but it always felt different from the way he treated Emily, as if she is his life line.

When they announced their breakup, Rachel initially thought they were playing a prank on them but after the confirmation she cried for an entire night, at that time she was in the US and this news made her feel even more lonely.

"Yes, it is so" Rachel replied to Patrick's annoying question.

"Okay" he responded indifferently.

"Why did you two breakup?" This was the question she had since they announced their split but she never had the courage to ask them.

Today also she was not sure what had gotten into her but she finally asked him the question that has been bothering her till date.

"None of your business" he coldly replied.

Rachel pouted and tearfully said, "I thought we are close"

"Hmm we are"

"Then why can't you tell me the reason?"

"If it was about me alone I would have shared it but it is about my relationship with Emily. Although we are close you should not cross the line if either me or Emily are not comfortable in sharing something personal about our past relationship with you. So, it is indeed none of your business Rachel"

Although his words were strong and rude, she didn't get offended, what he said was right.

"I am asking because what if I can help you two deal with it." Rachel still insisted.

"If that was the case and a third party could help us then believe me we would have approached all of you, but none of you can do anything, so the least you can do for us is stay out of it"

Rachel decided to not pursue this topic anymore and stay out of it, if this news hurt her this bad then the people involved in it were obviously more in pain than her and it was fair for him to not wanting to discuss it.

"Also about that message you received." Patrick was talking about the message she received earlier which kind of shocked her.

"Yes? What about it?"

"Did you forward it to me?"

"Oh, I forgot, let me forward it now." Rachel quickly forwarded the message to him.

"Don't worry, I'll look into this message, don't be scared."

"Hmm" Rachel replied but deep inside she still felt scared.

"Rachel, I won't let anything happen to you, do you trust me?"

"I trust you but..."
