Phoebe saw him from the kitchen and came out to join him
"Cole, honey, where have you been?" She asked, kissing him on the cheek, expecting affection in return.
"i woke up this morning and you we're gone" Phoebe continued
"just had to check how things we're going down there" he answered truthfully, meaning the underworld, his demon home.
Cole began to say more but he immediately stopped as Prue walked gracefully through the room, not giving him as much as a glance. She was dressed in a slightly revealing black top and a black skirt, carrying a brief case full of her paper work from Buckland Auction House, where she worked.
"hey Phoebs, ummm, Piper went to the club early and I'll be at Bucklands pretty much all day, and ive got a lunch date with Jack, ring me if you -"
"need anything, yada yada yada, yeah i know Prue. love you"
"ok see ya" Prue walked past Cole "Cole" she greeted him
"hey Prue" he returned casually. Prue left the manor.
Cole felt his insides begin to eat away at him, 'if only' he thought.
