Prue walked into the attic apprehensively, Piper hadn't been in her room, so this was the last place in the manor Prue knew to check.
Prue open the door slowly, trying her best to avoid creaking. Sure enough, curled up on a long couch in the corner were Leo and Piper. Piper lay sleeping on top of Leo, still in the clothes she had worn the day before, her hair was mussed, and one of Leo's arms was drawn protectively around her.
"Umm.Leo?" Prue whispered, tiptoeing toward the sleeping couple, "Leo?"
Leo began to stir in his sleep, his eyes opening slowly.
"Prue?" he said drowsily, easing Piper off of him, "What time is it?"
"Around 10:00," Prue answered, looking at the slumbering form of her sister, "How long has she been asleep?"
"We've been here since about 1:00 last night," Leo said tiredly, "But I really have to go, the elders might be getting suspicious."
Prue nodded silently, sitting down on an old chair across the room.
"Sweetie?" Leo said, stroking Piper's cheek, "I have to go now, remember what we talked about ok?"
Piper opened her bright chocolate eyes and gazed at him.
"Ok," she said quietly, propping her head up on her elbow and giving him a slow kiss, "I love you."
"I love you too," Leo said, and then orbed out.
"Hey," Prue said, looking over at Piper, "What was it that you and Leo talked about?"
"Nosy," Piper said good naturedly as she rose from the couch, "I have some news for you and Phoebe at dinner tonight."
"Ok honey," Prue said with a touch of suspicion in her voice, "But right now, I do believe you're late for work."
"That's the good thing about owning your own business," Piper quipped, "You get to make your own hours."
With a quick smile at Prue, Piper walked out of the door and down the stairs.
"But you are right!" she yelled back up to Prue, "I'll be back later!"
