The next morning Prue and Phoebe were in the kitchen, eating breakfast, when Piper walked in. "Piper, where did you go yesterday? We were worried about you." Prue said. "I needed to get away." "But where did you go?" Phoebe asked. "I went to Cole's." Piper answered. "What! Why?" Prue asked. "Prue, don't get excited. I love Cole and he loves me." "What! You love Cole Turner!" Dan exclaimed. As he came into the kitchen. "I didn't hear the doorbell!" Prue snapped. "I let myself in. I need to talk to Piper. Please leave." Dan said to Prue and Phoebe. Phoebe and Prue looked at Piper, who nodded her head. "If you need us, call." Phoebe whispered to Piper. "Now that they're gone, lets talk about us." "Dan, there is no us. I broke up with you. Leave me alone." "Piper, you only think you love Turner, but you still love me so stop this nonsense. We have a wedding to plan." "I had it! I tried to be nice to you but nothing gets through to that thick skull! I'm not marring you! Now leave!" Piper exclaimed.

While Piper was arguing with Dan, Cole came over. "Piper's in the kitchen." Phoebe started to say when they heard Piper yell. "Dan, you're hurting me!" Before anyone knew it Dan was on the floor with a bloody nose. "If you hurt Piper again, you'll have to deal with me!" Cole yelled. Dan looked at Piper and left. "Are you okay?" Cole asked Piper. When Piper didn't answer, Cole walked over to her and took her hand. When he saw the bruise he cursed. "Does it hurt?" he asked. "Yes." Piper quietly said. "I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner." Cole said as he pulled Piper into his arms. "You're here now." Piper replied. Cole kissed her on the forehead and then they went to join the others, in the living room. "How do you feel?" Prue asked Piper. "I'm fine now." Piper said as she looked at Cole. Prue pulled piper aside and told Piper that she had a date and Phoebe and Leo were going to the movies. "You and Cole will have the whole house to yourselves." Prue said.

After everyone left Piper and Cole sat on the couch and talked about Dan. "I can't take it anymore. Dan doesn't want to believe it's over between us. He scares me." Piper said as she laid her head on Cole's shoulder. "I could stay her, for a while. So he'd get used to seeing us together. I'll sleep on the couch. As long as it's alright with your family." Piper looked at Cole "You'd do that, for me?" "I'd do anything for you. I love you." "You can stay."

Piper was bringing sheets and blankets downstairs when Phoebe and Leo came home. "What are you doing, Piper?" Leo asked. "I'm making up the couch for Cole. He'll be staying with us, for a while." "For how long." Phoebe asked. "As long as it takes for Dan to realize that Cole and I are a couple." "What's going on?" Prue asked when she walked in the room. "Piper invited Cole to stay her." Phoebe said. "Prue, it will make me feel safe having Cole stay here." Piper wanted them to understand how important Cole is to her. "Prue, Phoebe I want and need Cole to stay here. Please understand I love him. He makes me happy." "Piper, we do understand. If it makes you feel safe having Cole stay here, than it's fine with us." Prue said. "Thanks." Piper said as she hugged Prue and Phoebe. "Well, I'm off to bed. I have an early photo shoot tomorrow. Good night." Just as Prue started climbing the stairs the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Prue called out. "Hi Prue." "Hi Cole. Come in. Piper's in the living room. Goodnight." "Goodnight." Cole said as he walked into the living room. When Phoebe saw that Cole had returned she said, "Leo and I are off to bed. Goodnight Piper, Cole." "Goodnight." Cole and Piper said.

"I hope you'll be comfortable on the couch. If you need anything my room is the second door, on the left, just off the stairs." Piper said. "I only need you." Cole said as he pulled Piper onto the couch with him. "How's your wrist? Does it still hurt?" "A little." Piper replied. "I brought some cream to put on the bruise." Cole said as he took Piper' hand and gently rubbed some cream on the bruise. Then he wrapped a bandage around her wrist. After Cole finished he looked up to find piper watching him. "What?" "You're so good to me." Piper said. "You should go to bed. You look exhausted." Cole said. "You know, you don't have to sleep on the couch. There's room, for you, in my bed." "Piper, I would like nothing better than to make love to you, but let's give us some time." Piper kissed Cole goodnight "I love you, you know." "Yeah, I know, now go to bed." Cole said. Piper just smiled as she went to her room.
