The next morning there's still no sign of Wade and Zoe's really worried. She walks with Oliver to Lavon's house. As she enters the kitchen she overhears the conversation Lavon's having with Wade in the living room.

"...the gatehouse? Why are you staying at the gatehouse?"

"Because Zoe and I had a really bad fight." Wade huffs.

He was the whole time right next door in the gatehouse and didn't let her know nor accept any of the dozens of phone calls. Zoe's furious. She walks into the living room and decides to ignore Wade completely.

"Good morning Lavon."

"Zoe, good morning." Lavon says a little surprised to see her.

Wade looks up at Zoe and notices what a mess she is but keeps quiet. It's not like he's had a good night's sleep either.

"I uh just wanted to tell you that you're running out of milk."

"Uhm okay. I'll get some at the Dixie Stop."

"Perfect. Have a nice day Lavon." With that she leaves the house.

"Oh boy. She's really mad at you." Lavon tells Wade who only grunts.

Wade's bad mood doesn't improve at work. Even Wanda notices. "Just talk to Zoe. Whatever happened, get along with her."

Wade looks at her blankly. "What makes you think that I fought with Zoe?"

Wanda only shoots him a knowing look.

"Okay, okay. Could you close the Rammer Jammer tonight?"

"Of course. Now go home."

"Thank you Wanda."

When Wade arrives at the plantation he finds an abandoned carriage house. Zoe and Oliver are nowhere to be found. Wade heads for Lavon's. "Yo Lavon! Is Zoe here?"

Lavon looks up from his papers. "No. I'm sorry."

"Do you know where she is?"

Lavon hesitates.

"Lavon?"

"She and Oliver might be away for a while." Lavon tells him timidly.

"What do you mean?"

"She said that she needs some distance and that she won't tell me where she's going because I would tell you anyway. She told me to tell you that Oliver's gonna be fine. I'm sorry Wade, I really wanted to ask where she's headed but she just up and left."

"She's gone?" Wade's mind starts racing. "She just took Oliver to New York? How can she do that?" He slams his fist on the table.

"Wade, calm down!"

But Wade storms off and goes back to the carriage house. He grabs for his cellphone and considers to call Zoe. He decides against it. What's the point if she's already on her way to New York? He throws the cell with full force against a wall. Frustrated he paces the room and stops in front of a picture. It shows Wade holding Oliver in his arm, the other arm wrapped around Zoe who has also placed her arms around Wade's torso, snuggled up to his side. Both with a happy smile on their faces. Lavon had taken the photo just after Zoe was released from the hospital. Wade's heart begins to ache. Since Oliver's birth he hasn't been separated a single day from the little boy and he misses him already. Wade also hates to fight with Zoe. Still he was so angry. Angry that she didn't tell him about the job offer. Angry that she ran away to New York. Again.

Hours later it's already dark outside as Wade's still lying on the couch. He didn't even care about turning on the light. He's just lying there, hurting, staring at the ceiling. Suddenly he hears a car driving up and the headlights shine into the house. He props himself on his elbows as the car's engine stops. Wade switches on the floor lamp beside him.

The door opens and Zoe stands in front of him. She freezes in the doorway as their eyes lock. Neither one of them dares to say anything. Zoe had sworn to herself to tell him off but as she's now standing there, she's reduced to silence. Wade stares at her. Words in his head but nothing coming out. He realizes that her eyes are red from crying just like his eyes. Wade stands up but stays put. A few seconds pass. Simultaneously both start speaking. "I'm sorry!" Quickly they walk toward each other. Wade takes Zoe's face in his hands and kisses her as if his life depends on it as Zoe grips Wade's shirt to press herself even closer against him.

"You didn't leave!" Wade whispers against her lips. "I-I thought you were already in New York."

"New York?" Zoe shakes her head. "No! I would never just run away to New York. Not anymore. I stayed at Annabeth's."

Wade presses his lips again hard on hers. "Where's Oliver?" He manages to say in between hungry kisses while he breathes heavily.

"Annabeth watches him." Zoe gasps for air as she pulls Wade's shirt over his head.

Wade hoists Zoe up so she can wrap her legs around his waist. He pins her to the wall with his body. Soon clothes are scattered all over the floor.

For a while no one says anything as they're still lying on the floor. Then Wade raises his voice. "Maybe we should talk."

Zoe sighs. "I just want to lay on your chest and listen to your heartbeat while you're holding me."

Wade strokes Zoe's naked back. "I almost went insane when I thought you and Oliver were gone."

Zoe kisses his chest. "I'm sorry for running away instead of talking to you. And I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the job offer."

"I'm sorry how I reacted. And I wasn't any better when I ran away yesterday. I was just so frustrated that you didn't tell me." Wade pauses. "If you really want to go to New York we'll find a solution."

Zoe hesitates. "I don't know if I want to go to New York."

"How long would it be?"

"3 months. But I could never take Oliver away from you. And I can't even imagine being separated from him for such a long time. No way!"

"What if… What if Oliver and I would accompany you?"

Zoe props herself up and looks at Wade wide-eyed. "You would do that?"

"Zoe, I'd do anything to make you happy. And if that means I have to live in New York for a while then I'd do that. Well, first of all I have to make sure someone's gonna take care of the Rammer Jammer. But I guess it would work out somehow."

"Really?" Zoe asks with tears in her eyes.

"Yeah." He smiles at her.

"I love you so much!" Zoe caresses his face with one hand. Wade tangles his fingers in her hair and pulls her down to kiss her tenderly.
