Deanna kisses her mother goodbye in the airport and goes to find a coffee stand to relax and wait for Will. While she sips her coffee, she tries to digest everything that's happened in the last few days. Everyone is acting a bit odd, from the curious things Jean-luc and her mother said to Beverly sharing her secrets. Something is off. Something she can't quite see yet but others do.
Deanna is suddenly nervous standing at the edge of security, waiting for Will. She's excited to see him. It's only been 3 weeks but she feels like a whole different person. She's afraid that things may be awkward between them and she really doesn't want that.
As soon as she sees his face, all of her doubts disappear. He smiles broadly when he sees her, dropping his bag and taking her up in his arms.
"I've missed you Deanna!" He says as he swings her in a circle.
"I've missed you too." She realizes that she really means it. She feels safe in his arms and things feel, for a minute, like they used to be. She kisses him. She only intended it to be a friendly kiss but, as soon as their lips touch, they let emotion take control of them. Finally, Will lets her go. His voice is hoarse when he speaks.
"Why don't you show me this new house you've been talking about?"
Deanna shows him around the common areas of the house and then they decide to go for a walk on the beach before going out to dinner. Will takes her hand as they walk and Deanna can't help but think of Beverly. She likes that too, she decides. She'll tell her that the next time she gets a chance.
Will tells her all about the gossip at home while they leisurely dine on crab and wine. When they arrive back at the house, things feel awkward again.
"It's OK Deanna. I'll sleep in the guest room." He tells her. "After all, it's not like we're really married anymore."
Deanna feels her cheeks flush.
"No. You don't have to. I've kind of missed you. And having a warm body in bed with me."
He snorts. "Is that all I am to you? A warm body?"
Deanna laughs. "Pretty much."
She suddenly get serious.
"Really though, I have missed you. I do still love you. I just wish..."
Will cuts her off.
"Deanna! We've talked about this. This is what's best. For both of us. You were never happy there. And I can't be happy if you aren't. Maybe someday. But for now, you belong here. And I belong there."
"I know." Deanna whispers. "But we can still enjoy our time together?"
He grins. "I thought you would never ask!"
He sweeps her up in his arms and carries her to the bed room.
As he lays her down on the bed, her hair fans out and he stops and stares.
"What?"
"Nothing. It's just that you're so beautiful. I forgot how beautiful you really are."
Deanna doesn't say anything, just reaches out her arms and pulls him down with her.
