"I'm so sorry"

Sydney leaned over and put her arm around Will. His head lay resting

in his hands, his back hunched over, tears flowing from his eyes.

"Don't be. Its not your fault. I just can't believe she's gone.. and

this whole time it was... her"

Will's voice was filled with disgust. He was falling in love, only

to realize his love had been killed, and his girlfriend was nothing

more than a project.

"It's all my fault"

"Will, don't ever say that. No one could have known, not even you."

Will's eyes rose to meet Sydney's. They were filled with rage and

heartache.

"But Syd I was close to her! Even closer than you. I should have

known, I should have stopped her. She's gone. Francie is gone and

now the son of a bitch posing as her is gone too. Off with Sloane

somewhere with all the intel from me. They got it from me. How is

that not my fault?!?"

Will's eyes started to tear. Sydney wiped them away with her soft

hand. She gave him a soft kiss on the cheek and whispered in his

ear "It's not your fault. Trust me" His eyes were locked with

Sydney's. He felt vulnerable and confused.

"Thank you Syd. Thank you so much."

Will leaned in and his lips met her's. He noticed that she wasn't

pulling away. He leaned forward and pushed her against the arm of

the couch, gently running his hands through her hair. Just then they

heard keys at the door, and as Syd started to pull away he grabbed

her face lightly and pulled her back in for another kiss. Vaughn

entered the room. His gorgeous smile quickly faded as he saw his

soulmate kissing another guy. Sydney finally pushed Will off but it

was too late, the damage was done. She looked up, as Vaughn looked

down.

"Vaughn... let me explain"

"There's nothing to say. See you at work."

He started for the door, but turned back after realizing what he had

in his hand.

"Oh and Will, I bought you a present. Ya know, to try to cheer you

up."

Vaughn walked out the door, slamming it behind him. Will wiped off

his lips as he opened his gift. A blue tie...

******************************************************************

One week had passed since the kiss. Sydney's life was in ruins. She

couldn't turn to Francie, for obvious reasons, and her relationship

with Will was awkward to say the least. She hadn't talked to Vaughn

since that night. She saw him once at work but it was very brief. He

was obviously avoiding her. A whole week without missions, a week

that should have been spent enjoying their time together. He wasn't

returning her phone calls. She was heartbroken.

*Beep*

"Hey Vaughn, um, its Syd. We need to talk. I have so much to say to

you, so many things you need to know. I miss you.. please just call

me. I love you, Bye"

That was message nine today. She layed on her bed, tears falling

down her face. She turned over, wishing that Vaughn was laying

beside her. She looked up towards the pillow where his head usually

rested, wishing he was there now. Wishing she could look into his

eyes and melt away like she had done so many nights before. All of

the sudden, the phone rang.

"Hello?!?"

"Hey Sydney."

Her heart sank. It was Vaughn.

"Hey Vaughn. Um, how are you?"

"We need to talk. Meet me at the pier in fifteen minutes"

He hung up. Finally she would get to see his face. Hearing his voice

reminded her of how much she loved him, and how stupid she felt for

messing it up.

*******************************************************************

She walked down the pier, searching everywhere for Vaughn. Finally,

she saw him. He stood there with his black shirt, long black

trencoat, and his perpetual case of bed head. He looked so cute

leaning over the railing. But his face wasn't exactly welcoming.

"Hey."

He looked up towards Sydney.

"You wanted to talk. So talk."

"Vaughn, I've missed you so much. I've been going out of my mind not

being able to talk to you. Not being able to be in your arms. Not

being able to kiss you and feel you by my side..."

She bowed her head down and her eyes swelled up with tears. His hand

reached for her chin, and gently lifted her head up while wiping

away a tear.

"I'm by your side now."

His knees were weak at the site of her. He quickly shot back to

reality, but with a softened heart this time.

"Why'd you do it Syd?"

"I didn't. I was trying to comfort Will, he is my friend. All of the

sudden he kissed me and I had no time to react, I wasn't even

thinking."

"No, you weren't thinking. You didn't pull away Sydney. I thought

things were going so good between us."

"They were!"

"Then what happened?"

"I don't know Vaughn. I don't know what happened. But I'll tell you

what I do know. I know that I was stupid. I know that you are the

greatest thing that has ever come into my life. I know that we stood

on this exact same pier two years ago, and I fell in love with you.

I know that you are my soulmate, and I know that I love you with my

whole heart and soul. I know that I've been miserable without you,

and that my life is meaningless if you're not in it. With everything

that we've been through, with our history together, I know that I

want nothing more than to spend eternity with you."

Both their eyes were pouring tears. Sydney grabbed his hands, and

knelt down on one knee.

"I know that I am sorry. And I know that you are my everything.

Michael Vaughn, will you marry me?"

The world seemed to stand still. He looked into her beautiful brown

eyes, and a smile crept onto his face. He knelt down to meet her at

eye-level. Grasping her hands, he leaned in and whispered softly.

"That's my line..."

They both stood up as they embraced in a passionate kiss. They both

had smiles from ear to ear as he spun her around in his arms. *This

is how its supposed to be* they both thought to themselves. He

stopped spinning just long enough to sweetly kiss her beautiful lips.

He brushed her hair behind her ears.

"We're getting married", he said.

"Yep, we're getting married."
