She got back to her house in ten minutes and Francie was chatting with Will near the counter.
"Back," she chirped, fidgeting with the necklace. She bit her bottom lip just thinking about it.
Will noticed the silver necklace she was fidgeting with and knew he had never seen it before. He pointed at it and asked, "Where'd you get that?"
"Yah, I've never seen you wear it," Francie added.
"A friend got it for me," her eyes twinkled.
"Hmm, maybe you don't need that set up."
Will's heart twisted when Francie said that. Sydney knew she had to get off that topic since no one was suppose to know about her true whereabouts with Vaughn. "It's nothing, just a "girl" friend gave it to me."
"That's nice," Francie grinned. "We should probably go."
"Yah. I should too," Will looks Syd over. "Knock'em dead."
"Thanks, see ya," she replied.
"Bye," Francie added.
"Have fun!" Will faked smiled, and went out the door. Sydney and Francie were right behind him and they went their separate ways.
They got there at 6:30 and Francie's friend invited them inside.
"We can't start the dinner because our other guest hasn't shown up," Matt shrugged. "I thought you were him."
"That's fine. Right Syd," Francie smiled.
Still fidgeting with the necklace, she replied, "yes."
Just as they were about to sit down in the living room, the doorbell rang. Matt excused himself and Syd started breathing more rapidly. She heard footsteps coming towards her and looked up…Matt. She sighed in part relief and aggravation from her anxiousness and slouched further in the couch.
"Girl guides. Selling cookies." Matt motioned.
"Did you buy any?" Francie asked.
"No, didn't have any money on me."
"Oh, well."
Matt started to ask Syd questions about herself and became intrigued by her answers, and the poise she presented. Just then the doorbell rang again. Sydney wasn't so uptight thinking it was just another interruption as Matt went to get the door. She could hear mumbling voices and butterflies started fluttering in her stomach.
"He's hear," Francie whispered. She gave Syd a wink as Sydney grasped her necklace even tighter than before. It felt like a "safe" for her. Her back was towards the doorway as she hears footsteps. She turned around to see who Francie set her up with and out of the doorway…matt came in. Syd heaved a sigh and was getting very anxious to see the mystery man.
Matt cleared his throat to get Syd's undivided attention. "And now may I introduce my good friend," he drifted off as Michael walked in. "Sydney Bristow, Michael Vaughn.
