Miami

Being a handyman isn't exactly what Cole had in mind, but it was better than his old job.

The one thing that kept distracting Cole was Melody. Every time she talked to him, Cole felt close to her.

But what if she turns out to be like Phoebe, Cole thought to himself.

Cole couldn't fight his feelings anymore. He desperately wanted to talk to Melody.

Melody was working at the bar, when Cole walked in. He felt a little scared and unsure about what he was going to say, to her.

"Cole, hi!" Melody cheerfully said.

Cole smiled at her.

"So, how was your first week of work?" she asked.

"It was great."

"Anything in particular that you needed or you just wanted to say hi?"

"Actually, I came by to see you." Cole said.

Melody smiled at Cole. Her green eyes shinned so brightly, he almost forgot what he was going to say.

"Are you all right?" Melody asked.

"Yeah. Sorry about that."

"Do you want to talk outside?"

She could tell that Cole had something on his mind. She also noticed how handsome he looked. She especially noticed his eyes. To her, they were beautiful.

"You can leave the bar? What if someone comes in?"

"Don't worry; I'll get Kandie or one of the other girls to watch it." Melody said.

They went outside and sat at one of the tables. Melody liked Cole's sense of humor. He had her laughing in an instant.

After talking for two hours, it was time for Cole to leave.

"I'd like to take you out, sometime." Cole said, as they walked to the door.

"I'd like that." She shyly said.

Cole gave Melody his phone number and walked away, feeling happy. He deserved to move on and Melody seemed very nice.

San Francisco

"Phoebe has been moping around since last week. When will she move on?" Paige asked Piper one morning.

"That's what I don't get. When Cole was around, she blamed him, for turning her evil, now she wants him back. I hope Cole doesn't come back. Phoebe could hurt him, again."

"I heard that!" Phoebe cried.

Paige looked at Piper, for help.

"How much did you hear, Phoebe?" Piper asked.

"How could you say that?"

"I was telling the truth. You should look at how you treated him. I'd be surprised if he didn't move on." Piper said.

"I admit I shouldn't have said those things, I did, but if he loved me, he should have forgiven me."

"Like you forgave him? How many times do we have to tell you that Cole moved on?"

"I don't believe it." Phoebe said, as she walked away.

"I swear, if she doesn't stop acting this way, I'll go mad."

"I agree." Paige added.

"I wonder how he is. I hope he's happy. He deserves that, after what he went through."

Paige nodded.

Just then, Leo orbed in, with Wyatt in his arms.

"How are you?" Piper asked, taking Wyatt from Leo.

"Good."

"Honey, I have something to tell you. Cole's gone. He left San Francisco a week ago. Phoebe is just about crazy. She can't move on."

"But didn't she want the divorce?"

"That's what I thought."

"Phoebe doesn't want Cole to move on?" Leo asked." Wherever he is, I hope he's safe and happy."
