Rachel Shannon

She wanted to get married and she wanted to have children with Ricky one day.

However, by June of 2014, Ricky told Brenda that he wanted to move on.

He no longer wanted to be in a relationship with her and he asked her to move out.

He didn't really give a good reason for the breakup and it seemed that Brenda did not take the breakup well at all.

She had been in dental hygienist school at that time, but after the breakup, her grades suffered.

She even had to withdraw from the program for a few weeks just because she couldn't concentrate on her studies from how devastated she was.

So, the two had been broken up for a couple of months until one night, Brenda and Ricky had signed up for the same salsa dancing class.

now with this class the way it worked is that you would dance with one partner for a few minutes and then you would switch and move on to the next partner of course eventually ricky and brenda started their dancing together and they reconnected after that it seemed that the dancing sort of reignited their spark

after that dance class ricky let brenda back into his life and he was open to giving that relationship another try but this time they didn't move in together brenda got her own apartment about a mile away from ricky's he did also help her pay for some of her expenses like with rent and utilities and things like that since she was still in school she was on his cell phone plan and while there things were going great in their relationship

she started to think about marriage as an option for them once again.

But as time progressed, Ricky started to have doubts again and by February of 2015, Ricky broke up with Brenda once again and this time, it was for good.

Then, like I said, by June of that year, Ricky met Kendra and he let Brenda know about her.

He told Brenda that he was very happy in his new relationship and that things were going really great between them.

He told Brenda that he wanted to stay at Platonic Friends and they did.

They still checked in with one another.

They still texted once in a while and they did stay in contact.

She would even offer to help him if he had problems like car problems.

doing things like driving him to and from work while his car was being repaired.

She hooked him up with Jose and he was the one that fixed his car and gave him probably a better rate.

Brenda was always very pleasant for Ricky to be around, never bringing up the relationship or the breakup or even his new girlfriend.
