I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE DOWNPOUR BUT ILL ALWAYS BE THERE TO DANCE IN THE RAIN

Arleigh was fairly certain she was doing the right thing and if she was not then Piper would just have to find some way in her heart to forgive her. Arleigh had the best of intentions in meeting with Brennan today and she was just trying to do something nice for her dear sister. Piper had done so much for her growing up, even taking her in after their parents had died, that Arleigh had always felt like she owed something to Piper. Not that Piper had ever made her feel that way but Arleigh had just always wished she could have a way to show her elder sister how grateful she had been for it all, after all, she was certain that taking in a teenager in the middle of her twenties had not been an easy task and she remembered Piper working hard and struggling a bit to make ends meet. Still, Piper always managed to make sure Arleigh had everything she needed and more, she never let her really see the struggle though Arleigh was quite perceptive for a young girl.
When it came to Jack, yes Arleigh had taken him on for a year, but in reality that had not been a difficult task to handle. Jack was certainly a fussy baby, but in retrospect, Arleigh knew that her sister would have given anything to have that first year with him that she was forced to miss out on, and Arleigh could hardly count that as repayment for the years Piper had been looking out for her. It was not even in the same ballpark, it was nothing in comparison to her sister's good deeds and Arleigh truly believed that somehow Piper was going to find happiness even if Arleigh had to work a little harder to make it happen. It wasn't that she believed that Brennan was going to be the one for Piper or anything she honestly did not know the guy well enough to say something like that, and she did not even know if this rekindled friendship would even lead to something more for her sister and Brennan but after seeing him she was at least certain that they should meet. She knew if his eyes just met hers one more time that there was a chance something could spark and Arleigh was all about chances these days. Arleigh listened as Brennan admitted he had always wondered about Piper and that he just never thought he would find her again and certainly not like this and Arleigh laughed "We Forresters are certainly unconventional". Arleigh could tell Brennan was nervous, but that was perfect because she knew that Piper would be too, Brennan asked if he should bring anything "no just bring yourself and it will be plenty, she is going to be so excited to see you" Arleigh said looking at him with sincerity in her eyes. She sighed looking down at her watch "oh no, I do have to go though, but promise you'll come?" she said as she got up from her seat and grabbed her purse, placing some money on the table.
