A/N: This isn't really a chapter. It's like a… sub chapter? Lol.

Sydney's POV~ The Letter

Vaughn,

I'll forward the information I gathered from the mission as usual, but this brush pass isn't just about that.

I gave myself a mission, the first time I actually wanted to go to a safe house, to go to Wyoming and find out about someone from your past.

What I ended up finding was myself, and that some things never change. Like your deep caring and compassion for those important to you, and your undying loyalty to those people no matter what happens.

I want to thank you. Sometimes I feel like you're the one I get up and go to work for in the morning. Things wouldn't be the same without you. Missions wouldn't be the same without you. I would not be the same without you.

I lived what seemed like a lifetime regret after my first awareness of your hidden past and now, after my second my regrets are down to one.

A certain agent was hurt on my path to discovery, and although this letter may serve as a step, it in no way makes up for what I did to him.

To this man, you know who you are. I'm so sorry. And I would like to add one thing: I think I am in love with you.

So as a closing to this letter and perhaps a beginning to the next chapter of my life, I, Sydney Bristow, will be waiting at the pier at one o' clock A.M. If this handler accepts my apology, I ask him to come meet me there… and well, you know the rest.

I smiled, satisfied.

Then I saw him walk by, and inconspicuously handed it to him as he passed.

Please let this be the right thing.
