Becky, I appreciate all your help.

Chpt. 7

Piper was in the kitchen, cleaning, when Leo stormed in. "See! I told you he'd leave! Now don't you feel like a fool!" "What are you talking about?" "I told you Turner would leave you!" "He'll be." "He went back to New York, didn't he?!" "Yes, but he's." "Wouldn't listen to me, would you?! Thought you knew it all!" "Leo, I'm trying." Maybe now you'll come back to me and we'll get on with our lives." "And maybe you'll let Piper say something before you interrupt her again, Wyatt." Cole said from the entryway. "Cole! You're back!" Piper exclaimed "I missed you." Cole said, taking her hand. "I missed you too."

"Damn! I thought I had her back!" Leo swore after Cole and Piper left. "Told you you're wasting your time." Prue said. "He'll hurt her." "No, Cole loves Piper. He'll never hurt her. You lost Leo." Leo looked at Prue and then stormed out of the house. "We better warn them." Phoebe said. "We will later. Let them have their reunion. Two weeks is a long time, when you're in love."

"Wow! This is great! Cole exclaimed, pulling Piper into his arms. "God, I missed you." He added. Piper kissed Cole. "It's a great apartment. I'll take it." "Really?" "Sure. It's a steal for $700, but more importantly, it's close to you. Come on. Let's go to dinner."

Cole wanted to know about Piper's relationship with Leo, but he didn't want to hurt her. He was so lost in thought that he never heard the waiter approach. After they ordered Cole placed his hand on Piper's "Piper, I was wondering something." "What?" "If you don't want to talk about it, we won't, but I was wondering, what happened between you and Leo." "He always wanted his way. Moving away was his idea to get me away from my sisters. He felt they had too much influence over me. He suffocated me."
