"Fiona!" Drew yelled out in the airport as he spotted the brunette with her beau.
"Drew!" Fiona called out with a laugh as she approached both him and Bianca.
Leo chuckled at their actions and shook hands with Drew and his wife, "It's nice to see you both after so long!" It was the Monday before Christmas and the last time he had been in Toronto was in July; along with Fiona
"We didn't think we'd see you again." Drew said impulsively. Bianca smacked his arm and he looked at her confused by her actions.
Fiona smiled slightly and reached for Leo's hand. She also hadn't thought their relationship would expand and lead to more than friendship. After what occurred with Adam, Leo had been by her side.
He always called and made sure she was okay, he knew she was hurt by what Adam had said. Fiona took a while to get over the Canadian, since she had fallen in love with him.
She had missed his smile and eyes and the way he could do one simple thing to cheer her up. But then she realized that Adam wasn't enough and Leo could be the one for her.
Maybe it was in the cards for Leo to have been there at the club. At the beach. At the birthday party.
Maybe.
Bianca's eyes widened as she spotted the gorgeous ring on Fiona's finger. "Oh my god, is that what I think it is?" She squealed in excitement as Fiona nodded.
Fiona had been engaged to Leo since November.

Adam munched on a Christmas tree cookie as he waited for Drew to come back with their visitors. It was a tradition for their family to enjoy time together with friends days before Christmas, a 'Christmas Four Times Eve' is what they called it.
They would hang out at a friends house every day before Christmas; Monday was Drew's place, Tuesday would be Adam's place, Wednesday would be Eli's place, and then on Thursday it was Christmas Eve which would just be getting ready for Christmas.
"Don't eat so much cookies, wouldn't want to kill your diet." Clare smirked as she walked into the kitchen in search of Eggnog.
"If you don't already know, the holidays are for eating," Adam chuckled and grabbed another one, "where are the munchkins?"
Clare stood besides him and reached for a cookie after serving herself some nog. "They're with Eli and Becky, playing with trains!" Oddly, her daughter loved playing with guy toys. "How are you and Becky, Adam?" She asked gently.
Adam confided in Clare after Becky and his relationship started going downhill. They had more fights, he tried working more shifts in order to avoid her, she would leave the town at least once a month. The list continued. It had all happened after Joey's first birthday.
"We're...okay." Adam said slowly, looking down as if ashamed, "The holidays are making us a little more jolly, in a way." He laughed softly, trying to lighten the mood.
In all honesty, they were a bit better during the last couple days since it was going to be the Christmas were Joseph could walk and open gifts.
"Good." Clare rubbed his shoulder softly. "If it was meant to be, it will work out."
Adam nodded. Clare still didn't know of his affair with the one and only Fiona Coyne. He had told Eli a couple weeks before Joseph's birthday but he had never brought it up on Clare; seeing as if it was none of their business.
After Fiona had left, Eli had thought it was for the better but nonetheless Adam was only more miserable.
Both his best friend's could sense that Adam wasn't happy, but Clare had no idea what had caused a downfall on his marriage.
They then heard the door unlock and open.
Well hello, this is the sequel to "Sneaking Around." Fiona had left around the beginning of July and now it is December. So Fadam hasn't seen each other for months :3
Please review.
