That same night,  Sydney and Vaughn arrived in Sweden.

SD-6 wanted a special notebook that contained important intel  at some person's house. They had to replace it with the fake before the morning.

''Can we just do this now to get it over with?'' Sydney asked, coming out of the airport.

''Sure. Then we'll have the night free'' he replied.

She smiled.

-

Sydney silently broke in the house. They was no one in it.

Vaughn was staying outside, on a nearby bench, to warn Sydney if someone  was coming.

She didn't have trouble finding the notebook, thanks to Sloane's perfect description of the house. She quickly replaced it with the fake and ran out to meet her handler.

''That was fast'' he commented.

''Indeed.'' She paused. ''So… you said before we would have the night free''  

''Since we can be seen in public here, would you like to eat together? I don't recall hearing that Swedish restaurants are delicious, but we can give it a try.''

She smiled and nodded.

They walked to the closest restaurant and decided to eat there. They were too tired to go anywhere else.

During the meal, Sydney explained in detail what had happened in Siberia.

''I'm sorry I wasn't the one who brought you back''

''Vaughn…even I didn't know I was going to fall under the ice…or that Sark and his merry band of assassins were going to show up; ''

''I'm glad you're alright now.''-

They finished eating and left the restaurant. They were now walking down the road.

While walking, he took her hand ; she smiled ,but they didn't talk much.

Sydney pointed to a bench under a tree. They both went to sit down, but neither of them said anything.

Vaughn spoke first.

'' Syd…I'm so happy we got this time together without having to worry about protocol or anything else.''

''Just us'' she whispered ''And…''

Before she could finish her sentence, Vaughn leaned forward to place his lips on hers. She was taken aback at first, but then responded hungrily. All their pent-up desire for each other was released in this kiss.

"Vaughn"

he looked at her brown eyes.

"You don't know for how long I've been waiting for that" Syd admitted.

"Me too; that's why I kissed you."

Sydney laughed and gave her handler another kiss. But then a worried look crossed her face.

''I'm not sure we can do this Vaughn"

"We can. Trust me. But let's not discuss it now Syd."

They said goodbye, kissed again, because Vaughn was returning to LA the following day while Sydney would go get the fake notebook with Dixon.

-

The night after, she returned to her apartment, after a trip to SD-6.  Sloane had even believed the fake intel in the notebook! But she had other preoccupations on her mind.

Vaughn.

Was it too dangerous to start a relationship now,  when they weren't allowed?
