Never could Georgia have imagined that Ryan would come back into her life with a different role. After the reunion, they went to Unionville to grab some tea from Starbucks. They caught up on what the other had been doing. They even went on to talk about their years studying.

Thank goodness Phoenix is a sweetheart, she sighed to herself.
