Later that night when Kat and Sutton finally leave Jane in her bed alone, she pulls out her phone texting Jacqueline I can't sleep. And it's not about Ryan. She sends letting the late night hour be her cause for honesty.

Smiling when she gets a fast response. Jane opens the text. I wasn't expecting you to text. To be honest I can't sleep either Jane, I've been worried about you since you left. It breaks my heart to see you sad. Jane smiles reading when another message comes in. Blame the late night and all that champagne on this, but Jane you have become really important to me over your time at Scarlet. And I shouldn't be telling you this.

Shocked by the words, Jane replies. Jacq… Not knowing what else to say she hits send. Slightly panicking, not knowing what to make from all these confessions. Jane writes out. You mean the world to me. She hits send before losing her nerve.

This was not how she imagined telling the older woman that she was falling for her. Jane applauded herself for keeping her feelings mostly in check over her time at Scarlet. Kat and Sutton both knew, of course they did, they both were there for Jane with her feelings. They encouraged Jane to come clean to Jacqueline. They always thought that their boss also harbored some deeper feelings for the writer.

They both saw the lingering glances that Jacqueline would try to hide from the young writer when she thought no one was looking. It was just little things here and there, not to mention Jane is the only one that EVER got away with yelling at the boss in front of the entire floor of Scarlet. She was also the first to ever get invited to the bosses home, her inner sanctum. Everyone knew the editor was a private person; it only made sense that Jane was somewhat special to their boss.

You mean the world to me. That sentence had Jacqueline just staring at her phone. Not expecting it, but not hating the words either. They mean everything to her for whom they came from. Jacqueline always hoped she wasn't alone in her feelings. She also knew that being the writer's boss she couldn't act on them. She couldn't be the one to make the first move or any kind of move. Not to mention she was married and she didn't want to be that person. She wasn't that person. Her marriage has been crumbling for years now. She wasn't in love with Ian, she never truly was to begin with.

Would you like to meet tomorrow? I need to see you. I need to be here for you please darling. Jacqueline sends, not able to stop herself. Jacqueline is holding the phone to her chest tightly hoping she didn't scare the writer off.

Come over tomorrow, I'll make Sutton go with Richard and Kat made plans to meet up with Adena and all Jacqueline can reply is text me when they are gone.

The next day when Jane woke up she remembered that she would be talking with Jacqueline today. She couldn't keep the smile off her face when she opened the door to Kat and Sutton awake in the kitchen making breakfast. "Tiny Jane, you're awake." Kat says when she notices Jane coming out of the room.

"How are you feeling, baby." Sutton asks, coming over with coffee in her hand for her friend.

Jane just smiles in gratitude. "I'm good. You guys don't have to stay here with me today. Sutton you should go be with Richard. I feel bad for taking you away from him last night."

"Richard understands Jane. You don't have to be strong now." Sutton responds.

"I'm not trying to be. Okay I wasn't going to say anything, but please I need to be alone today. Um." Jane looks down everywhere but at the girls. "Jacqueline wants to come over."

"Oh oh" Kat shrieks out, glancing towards Sutton with a shared look between them. "That's good right." comes out softly.

"It's really good, I think. I told her last night that I needed her. She kept pushing that she wanted to be here for me and things kinda slipped out." Jane shrugs sheepishly with a smile on her lips that she can't seem to shake.

"That's great baby." comes from Sutton as she takes Jane in a hug. "I will go to Richards then. Are you sure you're wanting to do this, now after just breaking it off with pinstripe?"

Nodding her head in affirmative. "Yes. and honestly it hurts about Ryan but you both know if I knew I had the option of Jacqueline I wouldn't have stayed with him this long anyway." Jane tells them. "I'm not even sad about the breakup honestly, It just hurts to know that he lied to me about what truly happened when I asked him point blank what happened with that girl."

"Yeah I get that babe." Kat says as she comes to sit next to Sutton and Jane on the couch. "Adena was wanting to meet up when she got back to town today. So I'll make sure to not come back til you let me know it's safe." Snickers Kat leaning her head on Jane's shoulder.

"Thank you." comes out softly just as Jane's stomach growls. "I guess we should eat." laughs out Jane.

The girls get up to make their plates to eat breakfast before they each go their separate ways for the day. Just as they sit to eat there's a knock at the door. Sutton goes to answer it, surprised that Richard is standing there with flowers, wine and chocolate. "Hey you. What's this for." comes out as Sutton leans to kiss her husband deeply before pulling back letting the man enter.

"I thought Jane might need some cheering up and I missed my wife." Richard answers as he takes his coat off setting the items on the coffee table. "I wasn't sure what the plans were for the day."

Both Kat and Jane couldn't stop smiling at the newlyweds. "She's yours for the day Richard. I told Sutton I didn't want to see her the rest of the day. I'm fine." Jane lets Richard know, already feeling terrible about keeping them apart the night of their nuptials.

Richard looks between Sutton and the girls. "What's really going on here?" He asks. Knowing something happened since they left last night. Seeing the looks that pass between the three of them. "You don't have to be alone Jane. It's okay to need Sutton right now. I don't mind." Richard assures them. Knowing how close the three girls are.

"Um." Jane fidgets. "Jacqueline is coming by so both Kat and Sutton won't be needed, but thank you Richard." stumbles out trying to look anywhere but at Richard.

Richard did not see this coming. "Okay. Why is Jacq….nevermind. Of course she's gonna show up. She was lost after you left last night. Just so you know." Richard alerts her. "I know she cares deeply for you Jane. I'm not sure I should be saying this...but Jacqueline hasn't been in love with Ian for a very long time."

Startled by that revelation Jane just smiles. "Thank you Richard."

Jane notices her phone blinking with a notification when she returns to her room to shower. Picking it up, she inhales seeing a message from Jacqueline. Wasn't sure if it was too early, but just wanted to make sure you still wanted me to come over.

I'm getting in the shower now. Sutton and Richard just left. And Kat should be meeting Adena shortly. Give me 30 min and you can come over then. Jane sends back.

Bringing the phone into the bathroom and sitting it on the sink before getting undressed to get in the shower. Just as she was about to step in, her phone beeps notifying her of a reply. Grabbing the phone and opening the text I'm on the way is all it says. Thankful there was no comment on the shower. Before she put the phone back down another reply popped up. Thanks for the image. Almost dropping the phone by the response, Jane hastily sets her phone down to focus on her shower.

Twenty minutes later as Jane was brushing her hair, came a knock on the door. Kat had already left when she was in the shower, so Jane sighed slightly before opening the door to the most beautiful site she has ever seen. Jacqueline stood there about as casual as one would ever see her. She was in a pair of jeans and the most comfortable looking cashmere sweater that caused Jane to stop breathing.

Jacqueline smiles softly at the site of Jane, her hair still wet from her shower. "Can I come in or?" softly comes out as Jacqueline slowly reaches out to run her hand down the side of Jane's face.

"Of course. Sorry, you're just breathtaking Jacqueline." Jane says leaning into the editor's hand while also letting her through.

Closing the door behind them, Jane ushers Jacqueline into the living room. "Can I get you something to drink?" is stuttered out.

Jacqueline smiles softly at how adorable the writer is. "Just some tea is fine. Are you really okay." is softly added as Jane heads to the kitchen to put on some water for their tea.

"You want the truth." Jane asks as she returns to the couch taking a seat next to her boss.

Grabbing Jane's hand in hers. "That would be appreciated, yes" the editor softly implores.

Jane inhales deeply before looking up at her boss, her mentor, the one person she wishes she could call hers. Shaking her head from her thoughts. "It depends what you mean by okay?" she breathed out. "I'm not okay that my boyfriend lied to me when I asked him what really happened the first time. I'm not okay that I let it go because I was so inraptured with my boss who is married and as far as I know straight, that I thought that I had to make this work so I didn't have to feel not being with the one person that I have wanted more then anything since I started at Scarlet. I'm not okay that I have had the same flipping dream for weeks, that I should have known that he was lying to me." comes pouring out in sobs from Jane's mouth.

Jacqueline pulls Jane into her arms, "I'm sorry. Let it out darling. There you go." is whispered in Jane's hair. Rubbing the writers back up and down not wanting to let go of this beautiful creature in her arms. "I've got you I've got you." softly repeated over and over.

Startled by the whistle of the tea kettle, Jacqueline wipes Jane's eyes before placing a soft kiss on her forehead before getting up to make the tea herself. Wanting to give Jane a minute to collect herself Jacqueline finds the mugs and the tea bags herself and goes about making the tea.

Coming back into the living room setting the mugs on the coffee table. Sitting back down, she grabs Jane's hand as she wipes the tears from her eyes with her other one. Jane looks up to her, shame showing in her eyes from oversharing. "No sweet girl, none of that." Jacqueline says pulling Jane into her arms. "I wish you would have said something darling, instead of letting this eat at you like it has been." is softly said into the writer's hair.

Jane holds onto Jacqueline tightly as she is overcome in sobs. "I'm sorry I'm sorry" is pleaded over and over. The editor just holds her and lets her release her heartache.

Moments later the sobbing has stopped, Jacqueline glances down and notices that Jane has cried herself to sleep. Not wanting to wake her, Jacqueline arranges them so Jane is fully leaning against her as they both lay on the couch.
