Jack looked over at Julia as she talked about having a family with him. He had married her, but was he sure he wanted to have a family with her? He glanced casually across the room to see a familar face...could it be...Carly? Jack was stunned to see her sitting with a gentlemen. Julia continued to talk to Jack, but she could tell his mind was on other things. "Jack...." Julia said. "Are you listening to me?" "Sure, anything you say dear" Jack replied. Just then Jack's cell phone rang. "Excuse me, honey I need to take this." Jack said, "This is detective Jack Snyder." "I'm right on it". Sorry Julia, duty calls. Julia looks over at Jack and says "I understand the life of being a cop's wife." "I guess I'll have to take lessons from Barbara she said with a smile."

Meanwhile, over across the room Carly is talking with Craig. Craig, if you'll excuse me for a moment, I need to run to the ladies room and then call Hal to check on Parker. "Sure, Carly, is there anything I can get for you?" Craig said to her smiling. Carly looked over at the empty plate. Maybe some ice-cream. She said with a smile. Ice-cream always makes me happy. Craig agreed "Then Ice-cream it is." Carly walked away and went out to the phone. She hadn't talked to Parker in awhile and she was anxious to talk with him. She walked out to the lobby. When she turned to come back in she saw Jack and Julia. "Hello, Jack." "Hello, Julia." Julia quickly grabbed Jack's arm. "I'm surprised to see you here." Julia said smiling, "considering your situation." But Carly just smiled and said "Why?" "My son is here and I'll be anywhere he is." Just then, Craig walked up behind her and Carly was happy to see him. Jack and Carly exchanged glances. If Carly could only hear the voices in Jack's head. "Wow, she looks great", Jack thought to himself "And so beautiful in that lavender dress." But he kept calm as his heart raced when he saw her. After all, he was a married man now and his obligation was to Julia. Craig and Jack exchanged glances and Carly said. "Jack Snyder, Craig Montgomery, Julia...Snyder, Craig Montgomery." "Pleased to make your acquaintance Mr. and Mrs. Snyder." "Shall we go, Carly?" "Yes we shall." Carly replied. Jack stood there staring at Carly. She had moved on with her life and so had he. But how could she have forgotten how they shared their dreams together? Aparently she had since she was on the arm of another man. A flame of jealousy was brewing inside Jack Snyder. But he didn't let that show. He was off on a case and that was his mission right now. He turned to Julia and said "Here honey, take this money and take a cab home. I won't be long. I'll see you later tonight." He gave Julia a half hearted quick kiss and said "Good night." Julia turned and looked back at Jack and said "I love you", but Jack didn't utter the words back. He was too busy wondering why Carly was with that guy.

Jack got into his car and drove to the station; on his way there he was listening to the radio. "When a Man Loves A Woman" was blaring from the car radio, but was it Julia he was thinking about or was it Carly? Jack kept driving. In his head he said "I'm married now. Julia is my future. Carly lied to me." Although his heart could not stop aching for something more.
