Dom woke the next morning to find her gone.

He was happy, he felt guilty about it though. Jesse was dead, Vince was in hospital, Letty and Leon were shagging somewhere in New York and he was happy.

He put on his trousers and left the room. He went in to the kitchen. Mia and Brian were eating cereal and watching TV.

"Someone had fun last night" Mia said looking at the scratch marks on Dom's back. Dom got a glass of orange juice and walked in to the kitchen.

"There's a note here for you" Mia called after him. He walked back in and took the post-it-note off Mia.

Get your fine ass to work!

Dom laughed at the note, swallowed his glass of orange juice in one gulp and got dressed. He drove to work singing to some rap song on the radio. He parked his car in what had become his parking space. He walked up to the garage and said hi to all the guys, smiling.

"Toretto" Stacey called from the office "get in here". His smile faded as he walked up to the office. "Close the door" she said as he walked in. he closed the door. She got up from the desk and walked around it so she was standing in front of him. "Your late" she said "do you have a valid reason?" she asked smiling.

"Well I ran in to an old friend last night" he began placing his arms around her waist and kissing her neck "she decided to fuck my brains out" he said between kisses "I was recuperating boss"

"Don't let it happen again or you will be punished" Stacey said.

"Please no" he joked.

"Get some work done" Stacey told him getting serious. He left the office and got down to some serious work. They went home from work at 5.30. Dom put his arms around Stacey's waist and walked with her in to the house.

"Pull another one" Stacey laughed at him. Dom laughed to. Both of their smiles faded and they stopped in their tracks when they saw their guests… Leon, Letty and Vince.

"What is this a fucking family fucking reunion in my fucking house?" Stacey asked

"Nice to see you to" Vince said.

"Sorry V" she said hugging him.

"Give me some of that love" Leon said walking over to her with open arms.

"Bro" Vince said high five-ing Dom them hugging him. Leon did the same whist Letty sat on the couch just watching everyone.

"Letty show some love" Leon said pushing her leg as he sat down

"No don't" Stacey said

"Here we go" Letty said standing up "go on, give me 'some friend' shit"

"Letty sit your hussy ass down" Stacey said "you couldn't take me two years ago and you still can't" Letty stood her ground, Stacey stepped forward quickly, Letty jumped, Stacey laughed. "Sit down before I knock you down" Leon pulled Letty on to the couch.

Although Letty was tough she knew Stacey would be able to take her before she could blink.

"So what's going on?" Dom asked

"We want to start over, get to the dirt over here" Vince said with Leon nodding in agreement.

"V we're in Mexico, there is no action over here" Stacey explained.

"So we'll go somewhere else" Leon said

"you guys can go somewhere else" Stacey told them "I'm staying right here, I got my business I got my house, I got everything I could ever dream of" Stacey said looking at Dom "well almost" she added.

"Dom what do you say?" Vince asked "you wanna start over?" Dom looked around the room; he could feel every set of eyes burning in to him. Mia had Brian, but still wanted her brother around, Vince is his best friend and had been ever since they were kids, Leon was a close friend to, Letty was just Letty, then there was Stacey, he had got back what he missed, he wasn't ready to give it up again, not yet anyway…maybe not ever.

"Dom?" Vince asked again

"I don't know" Dom said. Stacey got up and walked out of the house. "Shit. Stacey" he called after her, chasing after her. "Wait" he said as she got to her car.

"No Dom, I'm not gonna wait around to have my heart broken again. I understand Dom, you like the rush, I do to and I miss it, don't get me wrong I do, but I'm over it I know there's something better out there and I got it, my house, my garage and I thought I had you, but it's in your blood, speed is in your blood, you can't live without it, I get that, I just wish…" she stopped

"What do you wish?" he asked

"It doesn't matter what I wish" they stood in silence "answer me one thing?" she asked

"Anything"

"When you came here and you said you want out did you mean it?" she asked

"Yeah"

"So what's changed?" she asked. He couldn't answer that question, he didn't know the answer. "When you know the answer, let me know, I'll be at the garage" she said before got in the car and drove off.

"Trouble in paradise?" Letty asked as Dom walked back in to the house.

"Fuck off Letty I ain't in the mood" Dom snapped at her.

"Man we better go" Vince said

"Why?" Letty asked

"Come on, she hasn't seen us in two years, it's not fair us barging in on her life, that she's obviously worked hard for" Vince said

"And where we gonna stay?" Letty asked

"A motel or something"

"You're ok to stop here tonight" Dom told them before going in to Stacey's room. He sat on her bed, in the same spot he sat the night before with her in his lap. If only he could be told the answer. He loved Stacey and wanted to be with her, here in Mexico, start a new life, but on the other hand he loved racing. One was gonna get him killed, or worse…back in jail. He had to make a choice.
