As the doorbell rang, Sydney put down her History textbook and hurried to get the door. Vaughn's painful questions and remarks earlier in the day had hurt Sydney more then she would care to say. She had spent the rest of the day trying to get her mind off it, but couldn't. Sydney opened the door, and couldn't help but smile as Danny grinned at her.
"Sydney!" He gathered her up in his big arms and hugged her tight. Sydney had to admit, she was really happy to see him.
"Danny. I'm so glad you're back." All thoughts of Vaughn flew to the back of Sydney's mind as she and Danny kissed.
"I can tell." He grinned, and the two walked into the living room, sitting down on the couch. "God Syd, we have to go up to San Diego. You would love it."
"Sounds great."
"So how was your week without me? Devastating I suppose?"
"Of course." Sydney laughed, but the stopped as thoughts of Vaughn entered her mind.
"Syd?" Danny noticed the far off look in her eyes. "What's wrong?"
Sydney looked at Danny, he looked so concerned. He loved her so much. She couldn't do this to him. Earlier, Sydney had contemplated using Danny to get back at Vaughn for not supporting her, but at this moment, knew she couldn't. Danny had been nothing but good to her, she had to tell him the truth.
"Danny, look. There is something I have to tell you something."
"Sydney, what is it. You're worrying me."
"I.I met someone." Danny looked shocked. He didn't say anything for a while, just ran his hands threw his hair. "Danny, I am so sorry." Tears started to spill from her eyes.
"I need sometime to think about this." Danny got up and looked at Sydney. "I.I'll call you." With that, he picked up his coat and left, leaving Sydney, crying on the couch.
