When they got inside Will put Karen down and they both brushed off all the snow that was covering them.

"Ughh... it's freezing out there, I'm gonna go start a fire."

"Okay I'll be right in, I'm going to go change out of these wet clothes." she said as she stood up on her tip toes to give him a kiss on the cheek.

As Karen was changing she was thinking how strange things between her and Will were. Even though they had a completely platonic relationship until less than an hour ago, now that something had happened between them it was like something had always been there and it was just now surfacing. She felt so comfortable with him, even more so after the kiss.

When she finished changing she went into the living room where Will was building a fire and she saw the fireplace. There was a fire going and in front of the fireplace Will had placed a blanket and a bunch of pillows, but there was no Will.

"Will?"

"Oh, sorry I'm coming." he called as he walked out of the kitchen carrying two cups.

"What is it?" she asked as he handed one of the cups.

"It's hot chocolate... don't worry, yours is half Bailey's." she smiled and then sat down on the blanket and leaned on one of the piles of pillows. Then she set her cup down on the coffee table and he did the same before laying down next to her.

"Oh, hold on." she said as she got up.

"What are you doing?"

She walked over to the cd player and put on a cd. Then she came back over and laid back down with Will. He wrapped her arm around her and she put her head on his chest and they just laid there cuddling and enjoying each others company.

After a few minutes Karen spoke.

"Honey?"

"Yeah?"

"What are we gonna tell Grace and Jackie when we get home?"

"I don't know. What do you want to do?"

" I don't know, I don't know how well they would take it. I'm just afraid that they'll be mad and..."

He lifted her chin so that they were looking at each other.

"Karen, I don't care what they think. I feel something that I've never felt before when I'm with you, and I know that eventually Grace and Jack will get used to the idea of 'us', but until then I don't care what them or anyone else thinks. I just want to be with you. I just want to forget everyone and everything else except for here and now with you. I love you."

"You... you love me?" she asked in shock

"Yes I do, and I understand completely if you aren't ready to..." she kissed him.

" I love you too." then Karen's favorite song came on and they just laid there listening to it in each other's arms.

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
