AN: All stories must come to an end, and this story is no different. My first multi-chapter story will be finished!

Disclaimer: I don't own Covert Affairs

Read and review :)

The ride to Auggie's apartment building was quiet, too quiet. The oh-so-very quiet silence was cut short by Annie's voice, as usual, "You didn't have to do that for me, you know."

"Oh, but I did, Annie Darling. He had hurt you and I can't stand for that."

"You know, I wasn't as sad as I thought that I'd be when he broke it off. I guess that I didn't love him that much anyways. I guess I knew that I didn't love him even before he broke up with me."

"So I did that over chivalrous thing for nothing?" Auggie said in mock disbelief.

"You didn't do it for nothing; you did it because you love me." Annie joked.

"You know what's really funny? Your ex-boyfriend said the same thing. He also said that you – and I quote – talk about me all the time, more sp recently." Auggie said mocking Anne's ex-boyfriend's smooth voice.

"Really, well I heard that someone doesn't know how many times they've caught themselves talking about their best friend who they love." Annie retorted.

Auggie was silent and he could feel a blush creeping up his neck. After a few seconds of his silence he said, "You heard all of that, huh?"

"Yeah, I heard it all. Well, Dani told me to hide around the corner and listen in on what you were talking about because she was pretty sure that whatever you guys were talking about wasn't about Chloe or Kat. I didn't think that you guys were going to say what you did, really."

"You were eavesdropping on our conversation? Why would you do something like that, Annie? More importantly, how did I not know that you were there?" The sleep-deprived Auggie said, it was around two thirty AM

As Annie finished, the car drove into the parking lot. They got out, locked the car and headed up to Auggie's apartment. When they got to his apartment door Annie said bluntly, "Good night Auggie."

"Annie, I didn't mean what I said in the car. I just really tired, and nobody like a tired Auggie." He apologized to Annie for his irrational behavior that could only be explained through not enough sleep.

"It's okay Auggie. I'm just about as tired as you are. I can barely stand up on my own. I would seriously kill for a few hours of sleep right about now." Annie said, yawning out the last few words.

"I'll let you crash here if you forgive my rash behavior." Auggie offered, the ending sounding more like a question than a statement. "I mean, if you can barely stay up, you can't go out and drive; no need to go to the hospital again, right?"

"That would be the best thing at the moment. And I would rather not have to go to the hospital again in less than twenty-four hours." Annie agreed, and Auggie knew that they were all good when he heard the beautiful sound of her laughter.

Yeah, maybe – no, yes – he loved her, and maybe she loved him back, but he wouldn't tell her his side yet. Not on the same night that she's been broken up with, that's just not what Auggie does. He'll tell her, and soon.
