Vaughn moved his hands from her hips to her back, making Sydney feel even safer than she already did in his embrace. She wrapped her arms tighter around his neck, deepening the kiss. They were both so lost in the moment that they forgot that Weiss was standing only a couple of feet away watching them. They both broke apart slightly breathless, Vaughn resting his forehead against hers. "I really should get going..."
"Ok." Vaughn kissed the tip of her nose. "Is there any chance that I can see you later?" He smiled shyly as he waited for her answer.
"I'm sure something can be arranged!" She mirrored his smile as she answered him. She gave him a final kiss before stepping away from the comfort and security that being in his arms bought to her. "I'll see you later!" She said to him before shouting goodbye to Weiss.
Vaughn stood and watched her walk away; already counting down the hours until her could see her again, even though he wasn't quite sure when that would be. Standing by his side, Weiss waited for Vaughn to tear his eyes away from his new love interest. He patted him on the back, bringing him back to reality. "Come on Romeo!"
Prue linked her arm through Andy's as they walked. His smile was enough to confirm to her that he didn't mind. He wasn't entirely sure what as going to happen between them, but he knew how much he loved Prue. He had let her walk out of his life once; he wasn't willing to let her do it again. They walked in comfortable silence until they arrived to their chosen destination. They ended up in the park, sitting on an old swing, which was suspended from an old oak tree.
It was here that they had their first date over two years ago, which was followed by their first kiss. Ever since then this spot had become their special place, where they could meet whenever they wanted to be alone, away from everybody else.
Taking a seat, Prue looked around the park. The sun was getting lower in the sky, making it the perfect setting for couples who came to spend some time with each other. "I've missed this place!"
"Yeah me too! I haven't been back here since the day you left."
Prue covered his hand with hers, giving it a comforting squeeze. "Well I'm back now! And I'm thinking that I might move back to LA. Spending the day with you reminded me of how everything used to be. Everything's different back there, I don't have my sisters, my friends...my boyfriend." She was shocked to see that he looked quite surprised by her statement.
"You don't have a boyfriend in San Francisco?" Andy asked. Prue looked down at the floor, not wanting to make eye contact with him as she answered his question.
"Let's just say it's hard to find a boyfriend, when your heart belongs to somebody else." She finally made eye contact with him, deciding that his reaction to her answer would give her some indication about how he still felt about her. Andy had always been a strong believer that actions spoke louder than words, and now seemed like the perfect time to practice that.
He slowly leant over to kiss her, his hands resting either side of her face. Prue wasn't expecting him to do this, but she wasn't exactly one to complain when the guy that she was in love with kissed her. Andy pulled back, wrapping his arms around her waist, her hands resting on his arms. "Well, that somebody who your heart belongs to...you may find that their heart belonged to you a long time ago!" He replied his voice only as loud as a whisper. Prue smiled as she thought about what he had said. She put her head in the crook of his neck and sat there, watching the sun go down on the park, Andy's arms wrapped tightly around her.
Irina got home from her trip earlier than she had expected. She took her bags out of the trunk of the car and walked up the driveway to find Jack Bristow knocking on the front door. He was totally oblivious to her arrival so she stood there for a couple of minutes watching as he knocked and eagerly waited for somebody to answer. Finally Irina cleared her throat, startling Jack slightly.
"Irina! I didn't know you were there!" Jack displayed his usual poker face no sign of emotion showing through as he tried to cover up the shock that his ex-wife had given him.
"So I noticed!" Irina replied, searching through her purse for her house keys. Jack noticed the bags that Irina had placed next to the door and wondered where she had been. He remembered Sydney saying something about her going away but he couldn't quite remember where she had gone. "You have a nice trip?" He asked, nodding towards her luggage.
"Yes thanks. We had a great time!" She finally found her keys and opened the front door. Placing her bags in the hallway she turned to Jack who was still standing outside. "Are you going to come in, or shall we stand on the doorstep all night?" She asked sarcastically, earning her a Jack Bristow glare as he walked into the house.
"I only came to see Sydney. I haven't seen her since she came over for dinner last week and I just wanted to see if she wanted to hang out or something. Is she home?" Jack crossed his arms around his chest waiting for her answer, only he wasn't quite prepared for the funny mood Irina was in. Recently their conversations had become more sarcastic, neither of them meant it to be, it was just something that they had gotten used to.
"Do you see her here?" Irina replied as she sorted through the mail that Sydney had left in the hall.
"Well, if you're going to be like that..." Jack turned to go. "Tell Sydney that I was here."
"No, Jack stay. Come on, I'll be nice I promise!" The truth was Irina missed Jack, although she wouldn't openly admit it. Jack turned back round to face her, giving her a like-you-could-be-nice look. Irina rolled her eyes. "Ok, I'll try to be nice! I have some wine in the fridge, it would give us a chance to catch up?"
Jack finally broke his famous poker face, opting to replace it with a small subtle smile. "I'd like that!"
