As always nothing belongs to me accept the idea for this story. Everything recognizable belongs to Covert Affairs and one quote from Sabrina. Hope you enjoy. ~Maridee

Chapter 3

"Hello?"

"Danielle this is Auggie Anderson, I work with"

"AUGGIE WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ANNIE? SHE'S GONE, WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HER?"

"Danielle, calm down, what are you talking about?"

"Don't act stupid Auggie Anderson, I am talking about the fact that Annie went over to tell you that she realized in Stockholm that she had feelings for you. Now what did you say to her to make her run away?"

"What! That's not what we..." realization hit Auggie like a hammer,"Oh no, I am such an idiot, when she grabbed my hand and said that I was who she wanted to talk to… Oh God, she wasn't talking about the spy she killed was she Danielle?"

"What are you talking about Auggie?"

"Danielle I am talking about how I have made the biggest mistake of my life because I couldn't see what was right in front of my face."

At that moment Parker walked up. "Hello Auggie," she said as she hugged him tightly. "What could you not see, are you OK?"

Auggie cringed as he heard Danielle ask very loudly through the phone, "Who is that Auggie? Is she why Annie ran away? Auggie you had better tell me right now what happened or so help me."

Auggie cut her off, "Danielle, I am going to have to call you right back, I have to take care of something right now before I can tell you anything else."

"Auggie Anderson if you hang up this phone I swear I will"

Click. He would have to deal with Danielle later, he needed to explain everything to Parker and hope she would forgive him because the next plane back to the states didn't leave until morning.

"Parker," Auggie sighs deeply, "I am going to tell you a story, I need you to tell me how it's going to turn out."

"Auggie, look at you quoting my favorite movie. You can tell me whatever story you like, I am just glad you are here."

Parker went to run her hand through Auggie's hair but he delicately grasped her hand in mid-air just as if he could see it coming and held her away from him.

"Parker I am afraid after this story you might not feel the same way"

Worried that something was wrong Parker said "Auggie did you really come all this way to tell me a story?"

"When I left the states I came here, to say what I had to say, to quote myself. But what I have to say has changed and I hope that one day you can forgive me, but I can't stay, I have to go back and make things right. I have been blind in more ways than one and I have hurt many people by not being able to see what now I know to be clearly right in front of me."

"Auggie I don't understand."

"Parker when we got together we both knew we were running away from something, at the time I thought it was just the memory of your brother, but now I realized that I was also running away from the love I thought I couldn't have. Parker, I really…"

Parker placed her hand over Auggie's mouth, "Don't say another word, Auggie I think you have misunderstood I am not looking for a committed relationship, I thought we were just making each other happy to get over my brother, I never intended for this to be serious. I am so sorry if you didn't understand that I am not looking for anything permanent right now."

"I am so glad to hear you say that." He laughed out as he hugged her tightly picking her up off the ground.

"I'm glad too, I don't understand it all, but I'm glad too"

As he put her down he said, "Parker I will explain it all if you can give me a couch to sleep on for the night, and an ear to listen to my tale."

"You are more than welcome to stay, but why just one night?"

"Trust me after you hear my story you will understand."

A/N: Quote from Sabrina the 1995 movie with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond: "I am going to tell you a story, I need you to tell me how it's going to turn out."

A/N: Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed, it's like big drops of sunshine that brighten my day.

Riy: Don't worry I don't plan on stopping.

Moongrl088: Don't worry I would not torture anyone with Ben Mercer (cringes as she has to type his name), but I hope you enjoy what happens next.

calltowrshp: I hope further down the road in the show he realizes it was Annie all along. I understand that if they did it now the show would end soon. So I will keep watching and coming up with my own endings. At least until the day, hopefully far in the future because I love this show, they finally get together and the show ends.

Millemini: I am happy you loved it.

Adalia: I am glad you think I am keeping everyone true to character; it is one of my goals to keep everyone's personality as intact as possible. Also I am glad you are enjoying my "style" the way you described it is exactly like what I am going for, I want you to hear the characters actual voices in the back of your mind as you read. Thanks so much for the 10/10, I just hope that the last few chapters live up to you rating.
