Grey's phone rang and he reluctantly moved away from Carrie to check it. Jenna.

"What' up?" He asked.

"Nothing. Calling to see how your new candidate is measuring up to your list of requirements," she teased.

"Jenna, this is no time for a question like that."

"Is this a baaadddd time?" she said, laughing, "did I catch you…at it?"

"Not exactly." Grey paced, keeping his head down, looking at the floor.

"But you're with her, right?"

"Yes."

"And you can't talk."

"Right." He couldn't keep a note of exasperation from his tone.

"Oh, goody. I have you right where I want you. So, did you get to all three items on the list with her yet?" Jenna giggled into the phone.

"I'm not going to answer that question," he said, turning his back to Carrie while he felt heat in his cheeks. "Oh, I see. So you have! Well, well, how was it?"

"Jenna!"

"Come on, you can tell me…great, fantastic, terrible? After all, you're the one who asked me if I make my husband beg for sex."

"Bye, Jenna. See you in a few weeks."

"No! Wait! Okay, okay. Just tell me if it's going well. Is it, could she…be…the one?"

"Could be. Gotta go," he said and hung up the phone, anxious to get away from his sister's prying.

"Quite a cryptic phone conversation with your sister…really your sister?"

"You don't think that was another woman, do you?"

"Was it?" She cocked her head and planted her feet firmly.

"Absolutely not! Do you want me to call her back so you can speak to her?"

"No, no, I believe you," Carrie said, raising her hands up.

"Good."

"So what were all those one-word answers about?"

"Jenna being nosy, that's all."

"Nosy about what?" Carrie slid onto the bed and sat cross-legged.

Grey hesitated and looked down at his hands, then up into Carrie's eyes.

"About you," he admitted.

"Me? Jenna knows about me? Why? How? Me? Really?" Carrie sat up straight on the bed and coughed twice.

He nodded.

She blushed and clammed up. There was a heavy silence in the room.

"Your family knows about me?" She repeated.

"Should you be a deep, dark secret?"

"I guess not."

"I'm close with my family. We talk…often. Is that a problem? You never talk about men you're dating with your family or friends?"

"I didn't say that."

"Oh…so you do talk about men. Do you talk about me?"

She shook her head, then stopped.

"Well, maybe I've mentioned you to my aunt…once or twice and my friend Rosie at the office."

"And I've mentioned you to Jenna. We're even."

"Why?"

Grey stepped closer to her again, pulling her up off the bed and into his arms.

"Because you're special, Carrie," he confessed, closing his eyes.
