JANUARY 25, 1860
CJ walked through the town thinking about the Valentine's day. He needed a date, he thought about asking Catherine but she hadn't decided if she was going or not.
CJ saw Clover Simpson staring at this couple talking across the street. He approached her from behind.
"What beautiful couple, don't you think Miss Simpson?"
Clover turned scared
"What? Hell!! Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm CJ Hudson, nice to meet you" CJ smiled at her, Clover was upset as she talked with CJ.
"What do you know about couples Mr. Hudson?"
"Please call me CJ. Well, enough to tell that she�s got him and you don�t." Clover looked at CJ furious and started to walk fast, CJ followed her.
"Come on Clover, I'm teasing with you, don't go." Clover didn't stop so CJ kept talking and following her.
"Clover!" He yelled and grabbed her arm.
"What?" She turned irritated.
"We can help each other, dear." CJ affirmed with a malicious look.
"What do you mean Mr. Hudson?" Clover asked curious
"Well, you won't get Noah if you are alone, you see, a man just realizes that he wants something when someone else already has it"
"Ok, keep talking, CJ." Clover was interested.
"Well, I'm not here too much, but I already know that everyone likes to admire your sister, Ivy, and I can swear you don't like that very much," CJ was saying getting Clover�s attention.
"So, we can make a pact. I�ll help you with Noah and Ivy or anything else you want to, and you help me "
Clover didn't answer immediately, she thought a little before she replied. She needed an ally and CJ was a handsome man, he could help her to make Noah interested.
"Ok, you help me with my problem, but what do I need to give you? " Clover asked
"Well now, I just need a date for the dance, but I can think of other things later, dear," CJ replied offering Clover his arm.
"Ok, we are going to the dance together, CJ." Clover took his arm and they started to walk around to set up their new friendship.
