Sinclair and Isabella are at Leo's place and he would bring them back tonight. Zac on the other hand seem to have gotten more busy after the whole ruckus of the paternity fraud. Even though it's all been settled, she still can't seem to get over the shame she was subjected to that day. It took her back to the time in high school when she had to defend herself over the pregnancy she was carrying.

Tears rolled down the side of her eyes. Every time she thinks she is devoid of the past, something seemingly drags her into the limelight to shame her to death.
