Sorry for the late chapter, I got back on school this week and I didn't have much time to write but here it is.

In this chapter, Tom is driving Sybil back from a tea afternoon with an old family friend and they have a talk about all that is happening and their feelings towards each other.


"How was tea?" Tom asked calmly, he was glad he was able to spend some time alone with Sybil, he really liked his new friends, but none of them could compare to Sybil, he only hoped she felt the same way.

"It was boring, the cake was delicious though." Sybil answered with a smile. She was also enjoying her time alone with Tom, even if they were just in the car, returning from this meetings she dreaded the most. She just wanted to ask him one simple question, about what Jemma and Skye had told her. She just needed the courage to do so, it was a silly thing, needing courage to ask her friend something, considering, she was so brave to do most things.

"Can I ask a question?" Tom asked, just when she was about to ask him "Oh, I am sorry, you can speak first." He said gently.

"No, you may go on." She said, silently hoping that while he asked she didn't loosed her courage to ask him.

"It is about what Skye and Jemma said that other day." He asked and she blushed, he was asking the same thing, she couldn't belive it.

"That we could be a perfect pairing?" She asked smiling, and he smiled too, he noticed how she used the word could, so maybe he has a chance.

"Yes." He answered her smiling too.

"Well we could be, if things were easier." She said, without even realising, she just hoped she haven't ruined their friendship now.

we could be, If things were easier, what she telling him she loved him too?

"What did you said?" He asked stopping the car. "you like me too?"

"Just ignore it Branson. Wait, too? You like me?" She asked him, not believing what she had just heard.

"Aye." he said shyly and she though it was the prettiest thing she had ever seen, his blushed cheeks and shy smile.

"Well, I guess, they are smarter than we are, aren't they?" She said and they stared at each other for a long time, longer than they should or could have until Sybil finally spoke again "You can kiss me, that is if you want to."

"God knows how long I've waited to do this." Tom said, leaning closer to her, well as close as he could get, while sitting on the front seat of the car. sybil chuckled and leaned closer.

They kissed and it wasn't like anything they both had ever felt before, they knew it could only be one thing. Love.

When they parted they looked on each other's eyes, before Sybil turned her head down, blushing, with a smile on her face.

"We should get home, they'll wonder were we are." Sybil said and Tom nodded.

"I love you." She said after a few minutes, when they were near Downton.

"I love you too." He answered smiling "What do we do now?"

"I don't know, but we'll figure it out." She said with a smile that matched his "together."

"Together."
