They had followed Dylan Rhodes to a private jet that would fly them to Maine, since they were on the run again getting out of the country was a necessity. It was quite roomy, so Henley decided it was time for a well deserved nap- not that she usually took naps, it had just been a long day and all that was needed was some sleep to complete it.

She had barely even closed her eyes when the feeling of someone standing above her loomed into her presence, opening them slowly she found Daniel Atlas looking down at her in a most peculiar way. Almost... Peaceful.

"May I?" He asked motioning to the seat next to her, she just nodded and closed her eyes again. There was movement and he knocked into one of her knees, murmuring a small apology, otherwise the jet stayed quiet except for Jack talking excitedly to Merritt about his adventures while he was gone. She smiled softly, he had really grown that year, and to be honest she was a bit excited to see what he would do now that they were apart of the Eye. Anything was possible.

Nothing was said between her or Daniel, but in the silence as they sat there Daniel's fingers slid down the top of her hand and turned it around so they became interlaced with her own. She could feel a slight rise in color pour into her cheeks, but she didn't pull away.

"Dylan says we're going to be staying in a flat like the one in New Orleans." He said to her after a while, she nodded.

"That sounds nice." She said back, though it didn't really matter to her where they would stay.

Henley didn't know when she actually dozed off, but when she woke it was to Danny brushing a strand of hair from her face. He smirked at her in the way he knew she couldn't stand to love and pulled his hand away to take out a deck of cards.

"I meant what I said. Even though I didn't really say it." He told her much later, she had given up on sleeping since him being next to her was too distracting. He still had cards in his hands and he was shuffling them absentmindedly but he was looking straight at her, his guard down and his over confident façade gone.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said back in mock innocence, though they both knew she did. He gave her a look but she just raised her eyebrows expectantly, he owed her this at least.

When she didn't back down he sighed loudly and almost rolled his eyes before saying; "I'm sorry."

A grin spread across her face, she had finally gotten what she wanted. He had apologized, in small ways. Saying things like 'that looks good on you', but he hadn't actually said those two words. And those two words were really all she wanted.

"Me too." She murmured and he smiled back, the awkward feelings that had been surrounding them dissipating into the air. He put the cards away and took her hand again, this time unashamedly pushing the arm rest between them up so he could pull her closer.

They had settled into their flat that was- just like Dylan had said- as nice as the place they had taken refuge before their second show. She and Danny had gotten the two huge rooms on the top floor, while Jack got the second floor suite and Merritt the suite next door. They had all stayed up to talk, but one by one they all went their separate ways for the night.

She was in her undergarments when a knock came at the door.

"Who is it?" She asked, though she didn't really need to. Danny's voice answered and she told him to come in, already fumbling with her small tank top and pulling it over her head.

"I just came to- oh." She could see him in the mirror from the bathroom and knew exactly what he was seeing of her. She couldn't help but smirk at his expression as his eyes raked her figure in an awed way as he closed the door behind him.

"J. Daniel Atlas speechless, this is not something you see often." She teased, he chuckled, still acting a bit too confident... Guarding himself. "Where are the others?"

"Jack fell asleep on the couch and we really didn't feel like moving him, Merritt is still downstairs enjoying the news. We're global." Henley couldn't help but feel a bit gleeful.

"I expected we would be." She smiled, looking up at him, he was closer than before, but still keeping his distance. His dark eyes now on hers in the mirror, glinting in the dim lighting.

"I was wondering if you would show up." She said lightly, ruffling her hair and turning to him.

"No you weren't." He replied, she laughed, and he smirked at her.

"No, I wasn't." Henley raised an eyebrow at him amusedly, this was the side of Daniel she knew. Unguarded. You could see it in his face, relaxed, not heightened and stoic.

"Do you mind if I stay?" He asked, and she felt a blush creep to her cheeks. Only he could make her blush like that. She cocked her head and looked at him through her eyelashes and he took in a long deep breath and let it out. They walked the few steps to the other in unison.

"Hello." She murmured, and he smiled, pulling her so they were touching and taking her jaw with his hand. He lightly brushed her cheekbone in a way that made her spine give a bit.

"Hello." He murmured back, and then his lips were on hers.
