Her plan hit a snag when she discovered he already had a girlfriend, but she took comfort in the fact that he often sided with her during conflicts with Rachel.

Meanwhile, Brian hurried down the stairs only to find that Rachel had already left-her place on the landing was empty. Realizing she was gone, he raced outside.
Rachel was just stepping into a taxi when she felt a familiar tug on her hand. Surprised, she turned to see Brian beside her once more. He held her hand tightly as he spoke to the driver. "Sorry, sir. My wife won't need the taxi after all. I'll take her home." The driver nodded and drove off.
"Why are you here?" Rachel asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as a soft breeze passed.
