It was almost the next day when Helen found herself standing outside one of the smaller libraries on the upper floors, somehow certain that she'd find Nikola there. The note Rose had given her was clutched tightly in one hand and with the other, she tentatively pushed open the door. The room was softly lit, the great windows at one end of the room standing open just enough to let a fresh breeze waft through. There was an open bottle of wine on the table with a glass sitting next to it.

Nikola was standing by the window, a small piece of paper dangling from his slender fingers as he twirled a glass of wine in the other hand. With a smile, Helen stepped into the room, making sure to close the door behind her. Nikola spun to face her but, before he could greet her, there was a slight scratching noise from the other side of the room. They both turned to face to source of the noise, slightly startled as music began to float through the room.

"We'll meet again… Don't know where… Don't know when…"

Helen smiled at the familiar tune coming from the old record player. She quickly looked around the room for the woman she was certain had set this up but, with the exception of Nikola, she was alone.

"Very clever," Nikola drawled as he sauntered over to her, setting down his wine glass as he went.

"Quite," Helen conceded, moving to meet him in the middle of the room. "This is for you," she said, holding up the paper. "And I'd guess that's for me."

"So I've been told," he said, holding out the paper to her as he stepped closer. She accepted the paper before offering him the other. Curiosity blazing through their bodies, they both flipped open their notes at the same time, reading the message quickly.

Enjoy

Shaking her head and smiling, Helen flipped the note over to show Nikola its contents. He smirked at her before doing the same. Helen let out a soft laugh as she took in the identical notes.

"She always had a flair for the dramatic," she remarked softly and Nikola chuckled.

"Always," Nikola agreed with a smile as he plucked the note from her hand, tossing it and his own to the table nearby. "How 'bout it then?" he asked, throwing his arms wide. Helen raised an eyebrow sceptically and he let out a long suffering sigh. "Just a dance Helen, just a dance."

"In that case," she said with a smile, stepping towards him. Nikola smiled broadly in response before taking her in his arms, pulling her to stand flush against his own body. She rolled her eyes at his manoeuvre but didn't pull away as they began to sway in time with the music. With a contented sigh, Helen shifted until she could lay her head on Nikola's shoulder, shutting her eyes as the music lead their movements. Nikola tightened his arms around her slightly and began to sing along softly, his voice low and melodic in her ear and she began to relax into his embrace, content to stay there for a good time to come.

If either of them had had the presence of mind to look out the window they may have seen a flash of white twirling through the air. If they'd listened closely they might have also heard a soft voice singing along to the record too. But they didn't look and they didn't hear, too wrapped up in their dance to notice much else.

So, will you please say hello
To the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this songWe'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day...

~FIN~

And there you go, the very last chapter of this story. Of course, we have two sequels coming up but I'm still a little sad to see this go. But I have to giggle, finally, as I post the last chapter, I have a cover for this fic :P

I have nothing but love for all of you who have taken the time to review. It may not seem like much but just a few words actually made a huge difference to me. I'm eternally grateful for the encouragement, blatant abuse of Rose (which I totally love :P) and the questions you've all posed to me. Fingers crossed the next story keeps you hooked too :)

Speaking of the next story, it's called 'Baby It's Cold Outside' and should be up either next Sunday or shortly after (I'm a little behind schedule at the moment). Lots more Teslen (for those interested in such but I will warn y'all, it's not exactly 'married with kids' fodder) and lots of non-romance-y moments (for those interested in those kinds of things too).

Anyway, in short. Thank you, thank you, thank you. THANK YOU!

Also, stay tuned!
