Bizzy was not looking forward to these interviews. She hadn't bothered looking over the resume's they had sent her because she usually knew by looking at the applicant that they weren't right. If the group they sent her today was not up to snuff, Bizzy would have to start doing the initial interviews herself. And that sounded like the worst task ever.

Tonight, she had planned to see Susan. They hadn't talked that much this week. When they spoke last night, Susan said she wanted to tell her something really important but Bizzy was cut off by the surprise return of the Captain. She had to hang up. She would spend tonight making it up to her.

"Mrs. Montgomery the first applicant has arrived. Shall I show them in?"

"Yes, Joseph." A few moments later Joseph returned followed by Susan. Bizzy stared at Susan who just returned an innocent smile. "Thank you, Joseph. Will you close the door?" Joseph did as he was asked and retreated. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I'm interviewing for a job."

Bizzy grabbed the folder that had been sitting on the coffee table. Sitting at the top was Susan's resume with a note that said 10am interview. "I didn't look at the list. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I tried last night but you had to go. I'd gotten the call back earlier that day."

"I'm not sure your working for me is a good idea. What made you apply?"

"It's the only way we can be together. I mean really together. The longer we continue the way we have; the bigger the chances are someone is going to see us. This way I always have a reason to be with you."

Bizzy sat there stunned. "Susan." She started unable to complete her sentence. "Susan, you deserve more than this. Don't you want a life? A life where you can be loved completely."

"I love you, Bizzy. And I want to be with you. And this is the best way for us - for me."

"Susan, I love you too. I need you, but I can't confine you to my life. You deserve more. I want more than this for you."

"I know you love me. But loving me means that you have to trust me to make my own decisions. I chose to go through with these interviews. If I am not right for this position based on my resume then that's ok. But don't push me away. Let me be here. It's what I need."

Slowly, the realization came to Bizzy that she could have Susan. She could finally have something just for her. And Susan wanted to be here with her. She felt complete. Bizzy grabbed her and kissed her hard. "Ok, we'll try it your way. But I have one condition."

"OK."

"Wherever I go, you go."

The Captain watched Bizzy leave the Carriage house and walk into the main house. She had changed over the last few weeks. She seemed calmer than he had ever seen her, more complete. And he knew that the change had something to do with Susan.

The End.

Thanks for all the reviews. This was my first fanfiction though I have been an avid reader for a long time. Thanks for giving me the confidence to keep going.
