Tell us something about yourself that most people don’t know.
Unless it will put my life or the life of someone I love in danger, I will never back down from a dare. I ended up in the ER once because someone dared me to jump into a pool from the second story. It would have been fine if I hadn’t overshot and landed outside the pool and broke my arm.

Someone who wants to grow with you and learn with you. Someone who supports your dreams and encourages you to be the best version of yourself.

No. I think love is something you cultivate and work towards and something you choose everyday. I think it’s possible to feel a connection with someone right away but Love is more deep than that.

A day in the park with Hope, watching her fascination with the outside world and then dinner with my family.

Is there a feeling you are trying to ignore? What is it?
Sometimes I feel like I’m not a good dad. Like especially with Hope getting older. There are things I don’t know about or things I won’t be able to help her with and it’s terrifying and heartbreaking.

Hope, first and foremost. She’s my entire world. But all of my family mean the world to me. I wouldn’t have gotten through the toughest moments of my life without them.

I love my job! I couldn’t imagine doing anything different.

I have so many...My dad...for starters. He lost the love of his life and somehow managed to find his way back again. My mom. She loved me when she didn’t have to. My Grandparents. They always loved and protected me when I needed them the most. My brother and sister. Both of them have been through a lot and always manage to come out better than before.
Are you comfortable talking to strangers?
Definitely. Meeting new people is part of the fun!
If you could change a thing about yourself and your past, what would it be and why?
I would have been home sooner for more of Grace’s pregnancy. Maybe...things could have been different if I had been home sooner.
Are you happy with the life you live and the person you are?
For the most part. There are things that I feel are missing but I know rushing those things would do more harm than good.
If you only have one more chance to talk to that one person, what would you say?
I would tell her I’m sorry. I’m sorry I wasn’t home sooner. I would tell her that Hope looks just like her and she’s growing up so fast and that I wish she could be here to see it. I would tell her that I could have loved her and we could have had a beautiful life together. I would tell her that I miss her and that I’m grateful to have such an amazing guardian angel watching over us.

Who is your hero in life and what qualities of him/her you desire the most? My Dad. He’s been through so many horrors and he just keeps going…I wish I had that in me too.
Are you comfortable talking to strangers? Not to the same extent as others on the force, but I can talk to people as need be
If you could change a thing about yourself and your past, what would it be and why? Is there something to say to get past this? Would I change the fact that I feel in love with someone who loved serving as much as me? Would I change the fact that we knew we were putting ourselves in danger because it was the right thing to do? Would I change it all if it meant she had lived? I don’t know…
Are you happy with the life you live and the person you are? No. And I don’t see how I ever could be again
If you only have one more chance to talk to that one person, what would you say? I would tell her I loved her so much and that she was the best daughter in the whole wild world.
1. Tell us something about yourself that most people don’t know.
I still have my engagement ring. I don’t ever wear it or anything like that, but I still keep it in my jewelry box mostly as a reminder of what happened, so I never let anything like it ever happen again.
2. Where is your favorite place to travel and why? Or the one place you want to go
Florence, Italy. Apparently it was my grandmother’s favorite city as well and my parents told me the first time they ever took me there when I was three, that they could just tell how much I loved it there.
3. What type of music do you like the most? What’s your least favorite?
There’s no kind of music that I won’t listen to, to be honest. It’s one of the greatest things about my job. If I had to pick a least favorite genre... oh God, I honestly don’t think I could? I guess... whatever category you would put ‘Baby Shark’ in.
4. Who’s the last person you texted? What did the text say?
My little sister Anna and it was to make sure we were still on for dinner later this week.
5. What was the last purchase you made?
I found this really amazing tapestry shop on Etsy and the woman who runs it hand sews all of the tapestries herself. I’ve been looking for something to add to my office and I found this one design that was perfect. It cost me a couple hundred bucks, but it was totally worth it.
6. What kind of car do you drive?
My mom’s 1963 Mercury Comet convertible.
7. What strengthens you?
My family, my friends. Music.
8. What is your definition of ‘love’?
Complete selflessness. A person’s willingness to do what’s best for somebody else, even if it means being in pain yourself.
9. Do you believe in love at first sight?
No. My parents always told me it was real and for a while I believed them, but, after recent events, I think it’s a load of shit.
10. What is your idea of a perfect day?
Those days leading up to summer where the weather isn’t too hot or too cold and I can play music in my car with the top down and just drive. This can also be switched out with laying on a blanket in my backyard, attempting in vain to get some color while listening to music on my phone.
11. If you died tonight, would you think you have live your life to the fullest?
No. There’s still so much more I want to do with my life, I’ve barely accomplished a quarter of it.
12. Is there a feeling you are trying to ignore? What is it?
The anniversary of what should have been my wedding day is coming up and I thought after the first year the second would be easier, but right now it just feels like it’s going to be worse. The love I had for my ex-fiance is gone, but the sting from the betrayal will always be there.
13. Are you afraid of losing anything? Why?
I don’t ever want to lose myself the way I did last year. It took me awhile to build myself back up after moving back home and I don’t ever want to be that person again.
14. Do you like your job, or do you wish you were doing something different?
I love my job. Admittedly, I thought that it would just serve a bit of a filler while my mom was out of town, but I really enjoy it. Helping to create music that might help another person and getting to make the artists’s dreams come true is incredibly rewarding, to say the least.
15. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
Hopefully still working in music. I used to say that I never wanted to put roots down in Tree Hill the way my parents did, but I’m starting to reconsider. I’m not sure if I see marriage and children the way that I used to, but maybe.
16. Who is your hero in life and what qualities of him/her you desire the most?
My mom. Don’t get me wrong, I love my dad more than words, but my mom is genuinely one of the strongest people that I know. Life has thrown quite a bit at her and she’s taken each and every hit in stride. She’s not perfect and never pretends to be. If I turned out half the woman that she is, I’d be grateful.
17. Are you comfortable talking to strangers?
Absolutely. Half of my job is talking to people I don’t know. I actually enjoy it a lot.
18. If you could change a thing about yourself and your past, what would it be and why?
Nothing, as crazy as that sounds. It took me awhile to come to that conclusion because I was never a big believer in ‘everything happens for a reason’, but as time has gone on, I think that everything that happens to you is for a reason. Even if it’s painful and you don’t understand it at the time, those experiences are what mold you into the person you are.
19. Are you happy with the life you live and the person you are?
Sometimes. Sometimes I wish that I could do better and be better for the people in my life.
20. If you only have one more chance to talk to that one person, what would you say?
You’re a piece of shit for doing what you did to me, for lying to me for as long as you did and for not even having enough decency to apologize. I will never understand how you could look me in the eye and tell me you loved me and couldn’t wait to marry me knowing what you were doing behind my back. I forgive you for what you did, but I will never ever forget.
Tell us something about yourself that most people don’t know. Most people don’t know that I am super duper flexible cause I’m double jointed

What was the last purchase you made? I bought coffee this morning
What kind of car do you drive? A vintage Mustang
What strengthens you? The relationship me and @rileyjamesx finally have. We weren’t always the closest growing up but I think we’ve really grown as women and as sisters. She’s the best
What is your definition of ‘love’? Love to me is working towards goals together, your own, your partners and the one to go with one another. Love is caring and never giving that up even when things get tough.
Do you believe in love at first sight? I do believe its possible
What is your idea of a perfect day? Starts with coffee of course. A good breakfast. A nice workout. Healthy lunch. Some down time and then a show. Afterwards, dinner and drinks with someone fun
If you died tonight, would you think you have live your life to the fullest? Maybe not the fullest it could be, but I wouldn’t be mad it either.
Is there a feeling you are trying to ignore? What is it? Oh boy...I’m not trying to ignore anything and honestly you can’t prove that I am
Are you afraid of losing anything? Why? I think a part of me is always a bit afraid of losing my way. I have an idea of what my life is and what it will be and I think that if that doesn’t pan out it might be a bit hard for me.
Do you like your job, or do you wish you were doing something different? I actually really love what I’m doing...Sometimes I want to be back on the stage but being home and with my friends is great
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? Married with kids and super comfortable in whatever my career has be doing now
Who is your hero in life and what qualities of him/her you desire the most? @bakerboyjudex and @detectivexdbaker are my heros. They’re both always there for me and they both are always there for each other.
Are you comfortable talking to strangers? I’ve never met a stranger, everyone is my friend
If you could change a thing about yourself and your past, what would it be and why? I wouldn’t change a thing. Things happen for a reason. I may be sad or even regret certain things, but they shape us
Are you happy with the life you live and the person you are? I am. I worked hard to be that though
If you only have one more chance to talk to that one person, what would you say? I’m sorry we were never close Dad, I’m sorry that I couldn’t be the daughter you wanted me to be, but I loved you...I still do
