Becca finally found her courage and faced her tormentors head on to get what she deserved: respect and Tyler Conklin. Becca’s faith in Tyler is solid, but is he willing to completely open up to her? They both have past baggage, and as Becca says, Tyler’s is particularly old.

With everything they have been through, Becca and Tyler know that secrets get them nowhere. They have made great leaps and bounds in their relationship, but Becca can’t help but feel he is still keeping something from her. Between the local detective snooping around and asking questions at the Conklin building and Tyler’s evasive answers, Becca remains skeptical about his excuses. The detective seems more interested in Tyler’s father’s “projects”, but Tyler’s hands seem to be in the pot as well.

Unfortunately, Tyler’s past comes back in his face along with his shady business. Will Becca hold true to her new found confidence and claim what’s hers… including Tyler?

Host:  Is there a story behind your answer?

Nathan:  *Rolls his eyes*  These two are assholes, that’s the story.  I miss understood a trivia question once at a company party.  We were drinking and  I wasn’t paying attention. (Nathan trails off and waves his head)

Tyler:  Keep telling yourself that big brother. (Nathan glares at Tyler and waves him off again)

Host:  Okay, back to Tyler!  Who was Tyler’s first kiss?

Nathan: *Laughs out loud, then pauses with a huge grin, eyeing Tyler*  I don’t think I should share my first inkling… but I am going to go with Karmen Pincher.

Mitch:  Wasn’t that one of our Nanny’s daughters?  I remember it!  I was hiding behind the couch!

Nathan: *leans over laughing* Yes!  That’s kind of Tyler’s thing.

Once Upon a Crush: *looks confused*  What’s Tyler’s thing?

Host:  Did I miss something?

Tyler:  No, Nathan is an asshole.

Nathan:  Let’s just say it’s Tyler’s thing.
