"Woody?" Jordan asked after the song ended and the radio DJ started talking.

"Yeah?"

"I love you." She told him, looking down into his blue eyes. He stared back up into her eyes and smiled. He loved how things were right then. Being able to admit their feelings and trust each other.

"I love you too, Jo." He replied. She smiled and laid her head on his chest as the next song came on.

The time I would spend with pictures I would not send.
I watched you go from left to right.
I followed you all night across my blinds.

Jordan sat up again, and looked into his eyes. He looked back at her, and they sat there for a moment before they both started to laugh a bit. "Oh Woods." Jordan said, "These songs… they describe us so well." He nodded, but looked deep in thought. "What?" she asked.

"Well…" He started, "They described how we used to be perfectly…" He finished his sentence with a small peck on the lips. She smiled and nodded as they continued to listen to the perfect description of how they used to be.

You'll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me.
You'll take your steps away with hesitance.
Take your steps away from me.

"You're not going to, are you Jo?" Woody asked with a look of love and concern on his face.

"Not going to what Woody?" Jordan asked, vaguely guessing what he meant by what the song had just said… but wanted to confirm before saying something stupid.

"Change your mind, and walk away?" Jordan just smiled and decided how to answer. She leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips, and he kissed her back. From the other side of the glass, Nigel and Garrett looked away and started talking.

"So, what do you think Nige?" Garrett asked, "Should we interrupt before things get too out of hand for a hospital room?"

"Geeze Garret! Why did you have to put those images in my head?" Nigel said with mock disgust and a laugh. "Ah, I'd give them a few more minutes."

"Whatever you say…"

"You aren't jealous are you?" Nigel asked with a sly grin.

"Me? Jealous of Woody and Jordan?" Garrett clarified.

"Yeah." Nigel said with a confident nod.

"No…" Garrett started before Nigel cut him off.

"Dr. M, you can tell me the truth. I know how it feels…"

"Okay, so maybe I'm a bit jealous… but not because I like Jordan in that way… I guess it's not really jealousy, more concern and hurt."

"Can't understand how or why they're still in love after everything they've put each other through these last four years?"

"Yeah… that'd be it." Both men stood leaning against the wall and pondering the answer to that question. Inside, the kiss had ended, much to Woody and Jordan's dismay, and the sat in each other's arms listening to the song on the radio.


I'm making my peace, making it with distance.
Maybe that's a big mistake.
You know I'm thinking of you.
I miss you.

"You know what?" Jordan asked him.

"What?"

"That's… that's how I always felt Woods. I felt like I had to make my peace with distance… by backing away from what we could have had, what I wanted us to have, that's the only way I knew. Every time you wanted to push forward and I refused… I knew I'd made a mistake afterwards… but the only way I knew how to fix it was by making peace with distance…"

"Jo…" He told her, hugging her tighter, not exactly sure of what to say. "It's okay. Look how it all turned out? Maybe it all was for the better. If we would have gotten together three years ago… we wouldn't have known and trusted each other this much… and we wouldn't have been this much in love and it may not have lasted as long as this is going to."

"And how long is that?" Jordan asked. Woody looked at her. He doubted she knew how nervous she looked. She sat there, staring right into him her eyes filled with emotion and biting her lip.

"As long as you'll let me stay around." He told her.

"Forever?"

"Forever it is."


You'll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me.
You'll take your steps away with hesitance.
You'll take your steps away from me.

"I love you Woodrow Wilson Hoyt." Jordan whispered into his ear.

"I love you Jordan Marie Cavanaugh." He whispered back. He wrapped his arms around as tightly as he could from the hospital bed as she wrapped hers around his neck.


You'll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me.
Take your steps away with hesitance.
Take your steps away from me.

Never had either of them in their lives meant what they were saying more than they did then.

A/N: THANK YOU to Goddessofsnark who hinted about this song in the review which obviously gave me the idea for it. I hope all of you aren't disappointed with it! I can always try a different approach on it if no one likes it. But, tell me what you think! Thanks a ton for the reviews!
