"What do you mean?" Peter asked.

Will simply raised his eyebrows.

Peter stared at him silently.

"Fine, keep quiet. I don't really care. All I want is to get out of here as soon as possible. Your love life doesn't interest me." Will sighed and got up.

"Marilyn. She is my ethics advisor. I am in love with her. Nothing has happened though, honestly." Peter said without looking at Will.

Neither man had seen Alicia walk in. She stood paralyzed. Of course her divorce was about Peter. He put his own happiness first. If he hadn't fallen for Marilyn, they would still be together. He didn't care about her feelings for Will. The worse thing was she didn't care that he was in love with another woman. What hurt was his had put her family first and now she may never find happiness. She swallowed the bitter taste in her mouth, put on her poker face and said "Good Morning" Both men jumped. Alicia went to get coffee ignoring them.

The silence was getting too heavy for Will, when his phone rang. He checked the caller id. Kallinda. Please give me something, he prayed silently.

"Yeah K.?"

"You alive?" she asked

"Barely."

"Well, I have some good news for you. Lana arrested our Mrs Stevenson and managed to get the whole plan out of her, don't ask me how. As we speak, the FBI is arresting Donald Pike's key players. We are in the clear."

"Remind me to give you a raise." Will said and hanged up.

When he went back in the kitchen, he saw Zach and Grace were there. Time to get out, he thought, leave them be.

"Kalinda had good news. We are safe."

Everyone cheered.

"I should get going. Have a nice day" With that Will was at the door.

"Will, wait." Grace yelled

He turned and looked at her confused.

"Thank you for last night. Although I wasn't really in danger, it was a nice gesture."

"Don't mention it. Goodbye." Will was feeling claustophobic. He needed to get out.

The moment the elevators closed he felt relief. He just wasn't ready to open up to Alicia. He didn't know if he would ever be.


Alicia stared at the door long after Will had left. He hadn't even looked at her. That stang. Maybe it was truly over between them. They had been going back to what could have been for so long, that perhaps it was time to move on. She would have to deal with being a single woman. She would miss Will though terribly. Well, time would make it easier. Right now, she needed to focus on her job and her children. She was getting a divorce and moving on. Time and deep breaths. It would get easier.


A/N SORRY SORRY SORRY. I spent two weeks doing interviews and going to the dentist. I promise you I will update faster from now on. The end is near. As always, the night is darker before dawn. Please tell me what you think.

Thank you for reviewing and still waiting for me.
