Author's Note: For those waiting & wondering, I'm still working on my "One Year Later" sequel. This just came to my mind and I wanted to write it. Thanks to Kristen (Kristen3) for editing and her feedback & ideas. And to Andrea (iloveromance) for waiting for me to get it posted! And usual disclaimer goes, I don't own the characters, or have any relation to the show, and so on. Please enjoy! :)

It was all so confusing and overwhelming. Not to mention that he and Daphne shared a wonderful meal together and talked the night away. He never got around to telling her the truth, that the woman he was in madly in love with wasn't Phyllis, but Daphne herself. She must be told what really happened. If only he could muster up the courage without making an even more mess out of things…
