"Slone died a few months after you did." Vaughn said still shaken.
Sydney looked at him, a mixture of confusion and anger in her eyes.
"Sydney we found him in his home in Tuscany. He'd apparently died of natural causes."
Sydney's expression didn't changed, but she sat staring at Vaughn.
"Sydney? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm okay. It's just that in my hypnosis, I remembered being with him."
"In Washington D.C, I know I was watching your session."
"You were?"
"Yeah I managed to get permission form Kendall, which wasn't easy, but he finally gave in. I am after all your husband."
"Oh. Kendall wants me to come back in for more testing."
"Is there something wrong?"
"I don't know, it didn't sound like it, but he also wanted be to undergo anther therapy session."
"And, you want to?"
"Well the doctor said I made good progress, and I want to figure the truth about, well why I can't remember."
Vaughn nodded. His eyes still seared with pain. It seemed that everything they talked about had some link to her death, and disappearance.
"Vaughn, Kendall told me, about our wedding night." She looked down, not wanting to see his sad eyes again.
"He did." He nodded slightly also starring away from Sydney. "Sydney I know this must be weird for you."
"No, Vaughn. However weird it is for me, I know that it must be ten times as painful for you. I can only imagine." She trailed off. Vaughn propped his head up on his hand, and took her hand with the other.
"Sydney I think we should try and focus on what's here, and now. At least until we have some answers." Sydney nodded. "Losing you was the hardest thing I've ever been through, but it's over, and you're here now, and I don't want to dwell on the pain of the past."
"I understand. I agree, I'm just sorry for all the pain I caused you."
"It wasn't you who caused me pain, Sydney. When you died, the only thing that kept me alive was the memory of all the happiness we had together. And now, as painful as it is to relive everything, it is amazing to have you here." He let go of her hand and touched her face. "I still can't believe you're here. I don't want to forget whatever miracle brought you back to me, but also don't want to be focused on anything but you Sydney. And I'm sorry, that I have been so cold to you, it's been hard taking in that you're really here, and that you're not some cruel trick on my mind."
"Vaughn, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." Sydney said softly as she wiped a tear from his cheek.
"Sydney I love you so much." Vaughn breathed as he pulled her in close and kissed her gently on the lips.
Their kiss lasted for an indiscernible amount of time, and would have continued, but for the ring of the telephone.
"I'll get it." Vaughn said as he slowly moved from the couch. Sydney watched him walk toward the phone on the kitchen counter.
"Hello." He said. "Hi, yeah we're here safe. Kendall gave us some trouble but he let us go." He paused. "I think that would be alright..tonight.okay, bye." He hung up.
"Who was it?" Sydney said as she stood from her spot by the couch.
"Your father, he wants to come and see you."
Sydney looked at him, a mixture of confusion and anger in her eyes.
"Sydney we found him in his home in Tuscany. He'd apparently died of natural causes."
Sydney's expression didn't changed, but she sat staring at Vaughn.
