Penelope sighed deeply before entering her house. All seems different now that she had learnt a few things about her past. She was truly shaken… whatever John has done or not… he had taken a part of her life. She HAD to know why?

When john Caldwell came back home that evening, he was greeted by a delicious smell. He immediately went to the kitchen to see his lovely wife pulling a cake out of the oven.

He went to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Hey…"

"You're okay?"

"Yes, a bit tired."

"Go and have some rest, I am going to put the table."

"You're sure?"

"Yes. Go."

She kissed him on the cheek and headed towards the bedroom upstairs.

"Mary, you should go to bed, you seem really tired."

"You're right." She said getting up.

"Let me get the dishes, honey."

"Thank you."

"Do you want something to help you sleep?"

"No that's alright."

She quickly left to take a long bath.

In these pictures, Penelope Garcia could be seen alone or with her co-workers from then.

Some pictures where when she was in Paris for her holidays. He had found her so beautiful staring with awe at the Tour Eiffel. That was that day that she became totally his…
