Bree was so glad that Jim liked the meal she prepared for him. She smiled when he complimented her on it, and eased back in her chair more happy he thought it was delicious.<br/><br/>Then he dropped a bomb, he wanted to invite Ali over, for reasons he just would not go into detail with her. It was curious, had someone done something to him? Had he lost a best friend as well?<br/><br/>"Jim, this has to be between Ali and myself, you being here while we dredged up things would be awkward. See I'm always the one to clean up her messes, she screws up, Bree is right there behind her with a broom sweeping up the carnage left behind. I just never thought I would be a casualty in her games. I have gotten her out of so much, covered her ass for so long, I never expected her to do this to me. I don't know what's worse, that I found out, or that she was going to hide it from me the rest of our lives. She took away the first man I was falling in love with, I don't know how to forgive her for that right now."<br/><br/>Bree removed her plate and brought it to the dishwasher, she didn't want to have Jim see she was holding back tears. She felt a bit dizzy as she walked, perhaps it was the wine, she had already had two and a half glasses of it.<br/><br/>She turned back to him, a fake smile on her face, "Sorry, I just need time before I even think about talking to her." Bree sat back down and looked away, things were not going as well as she had planned. She hoped Tje subjects of Ali or Will wouldn't have come up, but now it was too late for that.
