Hello again, dear readers! Are you ready for the next thrilling installment of this story? Are you sure? Are you really sure? Are you...SLAP. Thanks, I needed that. Anyway, please REVIEW and let me know what you think! ENJOY!

Teresa tried to read the report in front of her. It was not going well. Ever since they had arrived back, she and Jane and been avoiding each other. She had been trying to get the annulment papers from Nevada, while Jane was busy doing who knows what. She was glad that she had not seen him, the last thing she needed was awkwardness between them.

Like that was going to go away. She shook her head, trying to get rid of that thought. Okay, sure, she and Jane would probably still be awkward around each other, but eventually they would move on and get past their one night together. Right?

Her thoughts were interrupted by her fax machine humming to life. She was relieved when she saw that it was the annulment papers. Now she and Jane just needed to sign them and they would be all set. She wanted to find Jane right away and get it over with, but she knew that she needed to focus on case reports and not trying to find Jane.

Jane was not hading, per se, he was more like lying on the couch all day hoping no one noticed him. Teresa had rarely left her office since they had all come back, leaving Jane to find something to amuse himself with. They were not working on any cases right then, just finishing up the details on old ones, so Jane could have just stayed home. But he did not want to be away from the office. He wanted to be near Lisbon, to be able to figure out what she thought of their new 'marriage'.

But Jane was still trying to figure out what he himself thought of it, not quite sure if he was happy or worried about being married to Lisbon. And why did he even list happy as an option? They were co-workers, nothing more, even if he would like to argue that point.

His plan was to approach Lisbon and breach the subject of their marriage, but he knew that he would only be shoved out the door and avoided. He knew that she was wanting to get an annulment as fast as possible, and somewhere, deep down, he had formulated a plan to convince her that perhaps a hasty annulment would not be the best choice. His plan was more of a plan for the two of them to just talk, openly, about their thoughts and feelings on the matter, perhaps reveal some hidden emotions in the mix. But so far she was not helping his plan at all and Jane knew that he needed to wait for her to approach him about the matter.

He did not need to wait long.

That evening, when everyone was getting ready to go home, Teresa stopped Jane as he was grabbing his jacket. "Jane, I have papers for you to sign."

"What kind of papers," He asked as he slowly put his jacket on.

Teresa glanced around her quickly before answering, "You know what papers. The annulments papers. I just need your signature at the bottom and we can put all of this behind us."

Jane slowly nodded, his plan solidifying. "Okay, but do we need to do it here, at the office? It would be a bit embarrassing for someone to walk over and ask what we were signing. Besides, I think we need to talk about it a bit, since we both know that what happened between us is not going to go hide in the closet."

Teresa sighed. "Then what would you suggest?"

Jane thought for a moment before smiling. "How about you come over to my place and we sign them there. We can have some Chinese food, and talk for a bit. We can sign the papers there and you can mail them tomorrow. How does that sound?"

Teresa slowly nodded. "Okay, fine. I just need to go back to my place and change out of my work clothes, then I'll meet you there."

"Great! How about in an hour?"

Teresa shrugged. "Fine, see you then."

Jane nodded and left, his smile not leaving his face.

Okay, yes, a cliffhanger. I am evil, I know. Now, in order for me to write the next one, I need REVIEWS! If I do not get any reviews, well, the next chapter may have an untimely 'accident.' Yes, that was my attempt at being tough. Anyway, please REVIEW and let me know what you think! Until next chapter, Li Li.
