(The trio had finally made it to Beyond which normally took them about ten minutes to get to but with traffic and calling the business ahead of time to make sure Steve's boss was okay with them taking him for the rest of the day it took them a little over twenty. After putting their finishing touches on the plans for the afternoon into the evening, Rory, Finn and Logan finally made it to the spa. Finn was the first one to walk in. Upon seeing him, Robin called Steve to let him know that his "client" was there. A few moments later he came up front and greeted Finn.)

(doing a double take) "Finn?! Dude, (gives him a hug) when did you get back in town. Does Rory know that you are here?"-Steve

(he hugged him back and indicated that they should go outside)

"But I have a shift to finish out here. I can't just walk out."-Steve

"You have been working extremely hard the past few weeks, Steve sometimes even pulling double shifts or coming in hours before your shift starts that way you can fit in as many clients as possible. Go take a break you have earned it. I will see you on Monday."-Robin

"Thank you. Have a good weekend."-Steve

(Finn and Steve walk out and he is pleasantly surprised to see Rory and Logan there as well)

"Hey guys long time no see. Rory can I talk to you for a moment"-Steve

(she gives him a confused look, but agrees anyway)

"What's up, Steve?"-Rory

"Do you think that we should tell Finn about that night between us?"-Steve

"You mean the night that happened while Finn and I had our huge fight a few weeks before he disappeared for his third round of "treatment" that started with the phone call from the ER saying that he had been in an accident with an over the legal limit of alcohol in his system. The night when he and I said we would take a break from one another in order to sort out our feelings?"-Rory

(looks at her with a slight smirk on his face) "Yes that night."-Steve

(sighs, and quickly bits her lip a nervous habit she had for as long as she could remember) "I don't know. I've debated about it. It wasn't like you and I had an actual relationship with one another while Finn and I were apart it was just a one night stand at the risk of sounding blunt ."-Rory

"Fair enough point and telling him would be a huge risk as well considering he just got out of treatment it might set him back a few months and start the whole cycle all over again. Why don't we let him settle into life and than we can discuss it at a later date."-Steve

"Sounds like a plan to me."-Rory

(little did the two of them know that Finn had already caught on to the fact that the two of them had slept together about eight months ago. It was the moment in time that in a way made his drinking worse, but also spurred him into actually getting better for the final time in his life. He desperately wanted to talk to his fiance about that evening, as well as best friend but now was not the time nor the place to do so. After Rory and Steve got done with their discussion they rejoined the group by the car)

"So, what are the plans for the rest of the day?"-Steve

"Well, I am thinking that coffee as well as peppermint flavored smoothies or shakes are in order. Then how about a swim or workout we haven't done that in while. Then maybe a visit to see the parents."-Logan

"I like the sound of that, however we are scheduled to visit the parents for a solid week, in about fourteen days so can we cross that off the list for today. Cracker Barrel sounds good for anything peppermint. I'll drive."-Finn

(it took about twenty minutes to get to the restaurant. At the table)

"You okay honey? For you seemed a bit distracted at the moment."-Finn

(she had been wrapped in memories) "Of course I am. Just a few things on my mind. I am so happy you are finally back though. I missed you in such a way that words don't do it justice"-Rory

(he leans over to give her a quick kiss on the forehead) "I missed you as well baby. But when we get back to our place without company tagging along we need to talk about something."-Finn

"Okay, hope it is something good not bad."-Rory

"It is something in between but let's not discuss it here. Let's enjoy our friends for now."-Finn

"Alright."-Rory

(the two lovebirds turned their attention back to Logan and Steve)

"So how has the photo business of your own been for you, Steve? Have you gotten anymore clients?"-Finn

"I have a few more shoots coming up. Found an awesome woman who wants to do an artistic nude as well as fashion combination next Monday. I'm actually looking forward to this one, it is nice to have a creative outlet for a change ya know?"-Steve

"I bet it is. You normally do regular portraits for families and high school seniors don't you?"-Logan

"That's what it feels like anymore to be honest with you. I mean it is nice for a paycheck and all but it gets rather boring pretty quickly."-Steve

"Fair enough point there. Hey have you tried the coffee yet? It taste pretty damn fantastic."-Finn

(the rest of the group takes a quick sip and they sigh in satisfaction) "That is a great tasting cup of Joe right there."-Rory

"I second that."-Logan

(the foursome continue to eat their favorite comfort foods and converse about their jobs, parents, other friends, and different avenues of life for the next few hours. After becoming a bit tired they decided it was time to head to their houses to get their swimming supplies, then head to the pool)

"Does anyone else think that it is a bit ridiculous to go swimming in November?"-Finn

"It's not like we are going swimming outside, man. It's a heated pool and at least they have the steam room for your soon to be wife to relax in while we do a few laps."-Logan

"Are you always this logical?'-Finn

(the group just laughs and heads to the locker room to change. They enjoy some time relaxing and swimming for the next two and half hours or so. Afterwards, Logan heads back to his house to spend sometime with his new puppy as well as his girlfriend. Steve also went back to his apartment his had a meeting with the model for put the finishing details on their shoot together that would be occurring in the next few days. Finn and Rory headed back to their place as well. They had just gotten changed into their at home clothes which were basically a pair of loose fitting work out shorts for Finn and yoga pants for Rory with semi matching sweatshirts.)

"Do you want to discuss what was on your mind at Cracker Barrel sweety?"-Rory

(takes a deep breath before broaching a topic that could have life altering consequences) "Tell me why you slept with him the following night after the accident?"-Finn

(she just freezes in the middle of making cups of Apple Cider)
