A/N: Next Chapter! Yay!

For a while now I have been somewhat fascinated(though previously annoyed) by the brief relationship between Audrey and Chris Brody. I wanted to write about it but just could not find the right words Then the ipod shuffle landed on this song and somehow my muse was pleased.

Again thanks for reading! Oh and reviews make me smile. :)

Wait a minute baby
Stay with me a while
You said you'd give me light
But you never told me 'bout the fire

When he walked in, something felt different. The air was no longer full of excitement and expectation. The room seemed to lose a bit of its warmth. There wasn't the spark she swore she felt that night-more like a chill that ran up her spine now.
And when he kissed her, the magic was gone. She didn't feel beautiful anymore. Maybe it was just the wrong setting, she tried to assure herself.
She brought herself to look at his eyes and turned away almost instantly. They were full of hunger for the one thing that would satisfy him. She wasn't sure she wanted to be that one thing anymore.

What used to be charm became annoying. He was always in a rush to get to the best chapter and did not enjoy the build-up.
Then he opened his mouth. Me, myself and I with a side of you seemed to be the menu for his vocabulary today. Was this the same man that had enchanted her with his words that night in the not-too-distant past?

For a time she forgot about her change of heart, focusing all of her attention on saving the people in the station from a terrible death.
It all came flooding back to her though the moment she saw the familiar handle of the standard issue cop gun resting in the palm of that man. Only one other person knew that she hid it in the evidence locker. He had betrayed her trust. He had betrayed her. And he didn't even understand the half of it.
After the ordeal, she said goodbye. It wasn't temporary this time around. He had to be watched over like a child. She never really was good at babysitting anyway.

He saw her walk away and knew that he just lost someone that would be hard to replace, near impossible almost. So he sat there in his state of shock, and let the tears roll down his face and become one with the sea.
