It was late; Piper and Leo were sitting on the couch inside the Halliwell manor.
It had been three days since Dan's accident, and three days since he almost kissed Piper.
Things had been a bit shaky between Leo and Piper ever since but Leo was determined to get past it.
He passionately kissed Piper and told her something he had said to her every day since they first kissed early the following year; "I love you" he whispered and embraced her into his arms.
She nodded and then whispered back "Me too".
Leo was thrown back by her words; she sounded shaky and unsure and she had never ever once said 'me too' to him when he told her he loved her.
He felt his eyes begin to water but fought them back.
"Listen Piper, I think it's time we went away, you know, to clear our heads" Leo said as he cuddled close to her.
"I don't know, Leo" Piper muttered, "It's been a tough week".
"All the more reason to get away" Leo argued.
Piper nodded.
"Where would you like to go?" Leo asked
When he didn't get an answer he continued "How bout Paris, I hear they have some good chef's over there but of course they could never compare to you" Leo chuckled.
Piper smiled; this is what she loved about Leo, he was so carefree and compassionate.
"Paris sounds nice" she said.
"Okay" Leo replied and orbed them out before Piper knew what was happening.
Piper and Leo arrived in a small toilet cubicle decorated with French writing and a few poodles.
"Huh?" Piper asked and jumped out of Leo's arms.
"Take a step outside" Leo smiled.
Piper cautiously reached for the handle of the door, and pushed it open.
Outside there was lit by moonlight and the occasional street lamp.
Restaurants were placed everywhere and fireworks gleamed through the dark night sky.
Piper turned back to Leo who was suddenly dressed in a glamorous tuxedo, he turned Piper towards the mirror where she saw herself dressed in a dainty flowing black dress with her hair done in a bun on top of her head with a few strands of hair down across her face.
She was covered in precious jewels and was wearing some of the most beautiful things she had ever seen.
"Come" Leo said, escorting her out into the Paris streets.
Piper stared at her surroundings in awe.
Leo led her over to a classy restaurant beside a small lake where white swans were swimming.
Piper and Leo sat directly underneath the moon.
Piper smiled at Leo, "Now this is something Dan could never ever give me…" she thought.
Uh-oh, Dan.
She suddenly was pulled out of her dream and remembered reality.
"Whats wrong, don't you like the dress?" Leo asked noticing Piper's frown.
"No, the dress is perfect, everything is perfect except…" Piper attempted to smile but found it almost impossible.
"Reality bites" Leo muttered.
"Yer, it does" Piper nodded.
Leo looked down and frowned sadly.
"Don't worry, we'll still have a great night here" Piper tried to reassure him.
She touched his cheek and he blushed.
"If you want to go, we'll go" Leo replied; not lifting his head up.
Piper nodded and held Leo's hands.
They orbed back into the lounge room; back in the same clothes and in the same position they had started off in.
Leo let go of Piper and orbed away.
Piper stared into space; where Leo had orbed away.
"Reality does bite" Piper muttered and stormed off to the kitchen trying to find some comfort food for the long night of thinking she had ahead.
