It had been a month since Naya had last seen Heather, she wanted to find her, she need the answers to her questions. James was starting to feel better, so for the time being he was her main concern he didn't deserve otherwise.

Heather was sitting in her apartment with Dianna and both were looking out the window, talking about how they never seen themselves outside of California. Part of the girls plan was for Dianna and Lea to both get close to Heather again. Not that they wouldn't anyways but now that it was no secret she was in New York there was no reason for them to not hang out with her.

"I'm really glad you're here Di, it's nice to know another person in the city. What are your thoughts on the city that never sleeps?"

"I know, and I kind of like it here, so far the shopping is awesome, and you know how much I love to shop." Both girls laughed and nodded in agreement. The only time they almost slipped up was when Heather asked Lea what she thought of the apartment and the girl almost spilled on how it used to belong to Naya.

Later that night

"Come on Heather please, you have to come, plus the place is really awesome, it's called Tyde. Lea and Dianna are going to meet us there, sing a little karaoke."

"I'm really just not in the mood Jen, and have work I need to finish. Thank you for the invite though." Heather said into the phone.

"So you're just going to work, all night? What happened to lets party until the sun comes up Heather?"

"She's in the middle of doing choreography and writing a script, gotta pay the bills." Heather smiled into the phone grateful to be reconnecting with her old cast mates.

"At least go get a latte, and go skating or something." Jenna said. "Take a break and enjoy the city, there is a cute rink in the park, take advantage."

Heather looked over at the clock. She could definitely use a short break and skating sounded like a good workout. "It's almost 11 though won't it be closed?"

Jenna laughed. "No silly this is New York, it's open late, go and have some fun." With that the girl hung up the phone confident that Heather was going to take her advice.

Naya's House

"Why would I go skating by myself, maybe I'll call James and see if he wants to go." Naya was pacing her apartment while talking to Dianna as she tried to convince her the girl to skating after Dianna had brought it up earlier.

"James is away on business dumbass." Dianna said as she took a sip of coffee.

"Oh right." Naya flopped down on her couch. "Come with me then, it was your idea."

"Can't, going to work early in the morning." Dianna grinned.

Naya sighed, now that Quinn had mentioned it she really did want to go skating, she hadn't been at all this year because she had been so busy. "Well you can come for like a half hour."

"Not happening, besides I plan on going back to my place, falling asleep with Arthur and letting that the that.

Naya laughed at her friend. "Fine, fine be that way." Naya said. "Go home then." She grinned as she practically push Dianna out the door.

Meanwhile Dianna was smiling to herself. Things are working out perfectly on this end. She texted Jenna with a smile on her face.

One Week Ago

"Let's make then go skating that's so romantic." Dianna smiled as she sat with Jenna and Lea trying to come up with the next phase in their plan which they called Operation get HeYa back.

Jenna nodded. "That's a great idea but how are you going to manage that?"

Lea smiled and crooked grin. "Easy, Dianna puts the thought in Naya's head and then says something about needed to sleep. She'll buy that because you're like a little old lady sometimes." Dianna looked at her friend with a frown.

"It's kinda true." Jenna laughed before Lea continued.

"As I was saying, Naya will go on her own because she's Naya and she really doesn't care. Jenna you take care of Heather, but make it seem like you want her to go somewhere else, then put the thought in her head. We know she likes to explore and she hasn't yet so this would be a perfect opportunity."

Dianna nodded. "That's all good and well but what are you going to do?"

"I came up with this plan and I'll be at work, oh and James is out of town so it's perfect."

Heather had decided that skating and a latte sounded good. She got her skates out of the closet, setting them by the door as she grabbed her coat, gloves and scarf. Fifteen minutes later she was out on the ice. It was so peacefull, she had always liked skating, ever since her father had taught her how when she was younger.

Meanwhile Naya sat on the bench that was there, and laced up her skates as the snow began to fall. She made her way onto the ice, she'd been skating for at least twenty minutes now and was in her own world. When all of a sudden someone fell in front of her and she had to move out of the way fast or she was going to fall down right on top of them. The only problem was that she didn't see other person in front of her when she moved. Colliding, they both feel to the ice, Naya on top of the other person. "I am so…sorry." She paused as her eyes locked with the person beneath her. "Heather, oh my god are you alright?" Naya was still on top of the girl.

"Yeah, fine except I kind of can't move." She gave a half smile and Naya realised she was still on top of the girl, snow falling over them. Finally snapping back to reality Naya tried to stand up but fell back onto Heather.

"Ow."

Heather rolled them over carefully. "Are you alright, what hurts?" She asked somewhat worried, trying not to laugh.

Naya looked up at her. "I think I twisted my ankle that's all, and wipe that grin off your face it's not funny."

"I wasn't." Naya gave her a knowing look. "Okay so maybe I was. Even though you knocked me over, let me help you up. Put your weight on me." Heather stood up, her ipod falling onto the ice. She extended her hands to help Naya up, who grabbed her ipod first, seeing it was playing, Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls.

Naya slipped the ipod into her pocket so she could stand up. As she did she almost brought them back down again. "I think that's enough skating tonight for you Ms Rivera." I guess she decided to keep her last name. Heather thought as she recalled the way she had answered the phone the last time she saw the girl

Heather helped Naya off the ice and over to the bench. She sat down next to her and took off her own skates. Watching Naya struggle with one of the skates she unintentionally laughed out loud. "It's not funny, it hurts." Naya began to laugh herself when she looked at Heather.

"Let me help you." Heather patted her leg and after hesitating for a second Naya lifted her own leg and let it rest on Heather's. She watched at the blonde completely undid the laces of the skate, slowly and gently she wiggled it off the girls foot. "Before I forget you dropped this, good song you were listening to by the way." Naya took the ipod out of her pocket and handed it back to Heather.

"Ah, thanks. Um, Naya I think we may need to get you to a doctor, you're ankle is pretty swollen already." Heather put the ipod back in her pocket and tried to put Naya's shoe on.

"No it's fine really, I was just going to grab a cup of coffee and head home, I don't live far from here. I'll put some ice on it once I get there." Both girls laughed as the partial cause of the injury was going to now help it."

"Alright but if it gets worse, get it checked out." Heather stood up. "Are you sure you're okay, do you need any help, it's just it looked pretty bad."

"I should be fi…"Naya began to stand up but sat back down on the bench. "Not fine." Heather laughed as she helped her up, but the momentum made Naya lean into Heather.

Heather felt her heart stop when she felt Naya's cold nose up against her neck. Neither girl could move, neither of them wanted to. Finally Naya pulled away, "you look cold, can I get you a latte?" Naya asked feeling bad for running into Heather in the first place.

"No thanks, I think we should get you home. Actually I think I should take you back to my place it's right there." Heather pointed to her building, and Naya's jaw almost dropped to the ground. I can't believe she's living in my old building. I really shouldn't go but my ankle really does hurt, ah what the hell. "Naya are you okay?" Heather said breaking her train of thought.

"Oh, yeah, are you sure about going to your place, really I don't live far from here myself. I can just get a cab."

"You're freezing come on, let me look at that ankle. We both know I've dealt with my fair share of ankle sprains. One thing about being a dancer, you learn to live with sore ankles." Naya laughed as Heather began to ramble.

"There's not going to be any winning this is there?" Heather shook her head no, as Naya wrapped her arm around Heather's neck as the girl picked up the skates and wrapped her free arm around Naya's waist, supporting her. The last time they were in a position like this was the 2011 Glee World Tour when Naya had hurt her ankle. Heather recalled how scared she was that the smaller girl had seriously hurt herself.

Thankfully by the time they had reached the building the doorman wasn't outside because he was on his break. Naya was grateful because she wasn't sure how to tell just yet about why she had gotten a knowing look from her when Heather showed her the building. What Naya hadn't realized though was that the look was still on her face and it hadn't gone unnoticed by Heather. "What's with that look on your face. You've had it ever since I pointed out my building, do you know it or something?" Heather was right though, Naya did know something, it was her old building and as they made their way up to Heather's apartment even with how much pain she was in Naya knew exactly where she was going. The pain was making her head a little fuzzy but she knew this building better than any other in the city, and as they stopped outside Heather's door Naya knew it was her old apartment. She wracked her brain as to how that could have happened and then she remembered, she had always known that this place was perfect for Heather.

Heather struggled to unlock her door while trying to support Naya's weight. The other girl wasn't heavy by any means but she was nervous, and tired. Finally getting the door unlocked she got Naya over to the couch in front of the fireplace. Heather walked back over to the door and grabbed the pile of skates before closing it and locking it.

She then headed for the kitchen to get some ice for Naya's ankle. Coming back she opted to sit in front of the girl on the coffee table rather than next to her on the couch. "You know what we should really elevate your foot." Standing once again she grabbed a few pillows and put them on one end of the couch before she helped Naya get her leg up, and get comfortable. She then gently put the ice pack around her ankle as she handed Naya to Tylenol and some water.

"Can I get you anything?"

Naya had been day dreaming since they walked into the condo. It was gorgeous place, she had loved it, and she had spent many nights dreaming about what it would be like if Heather had been around. The space was as beautiful now as it was when she had owned it, it showed a more sophisticated and mature Heather but Heather all the same. "No, I'm great thanks." Involuntarily she shivered and Heather noticed.

"Let me get you a blanket." Heather walked out of the room for a second and came back with a throw blanket. As she placed it over Naya their hands grazed, and she felt how cold the other girl was. "Damn you're freezing, I'll start the fireplace, it'll warm this place up pretty fast." Walking over to the fireplace Heather tried to remember exactly how to get it to start and she was still having trouble remembering where the on button was.

"It's on left side just under the mantle." Oh shit. Now she's going to wonder how I knew that. She thought to herself as she watched Heather flip the switch that started the fireplace.

Heather turned back around and smiled. "Thanks I just got the place not to long ago so I'm still getting used to everything. Are you sure I can't get you anything else? I can make you a coffee if you want, or I have hot chocolate? Wait how did you know where the button was?"

Naya smiled. "Really I'm fine, you should just sit and relax, I'm okay really. I'll be good as new in no time at all. Lucky guess, I used to have on like that, it's so that kids and or pets can't hit it easily."

"Okay, but um is there anyone you want me to call, it's late and all so I figured you might want to go home, I can get you a cab or something, call your husband. Don't get me wrong you're more than welcome to stay here it's just well you know." She began to ramble again making Naya give a slight chuckle as the other girl sat across from her on the other couch. "What's so funny?"

Naya shrugged. "You're just cute when you're nervous. " She whispered but it was heard by the other girl. Oh shit, smooth Rivera, real smooth. Heather blushed and looked out the window. "Oh and I can call Dianna to come and get me. So how do you like the snow?" Naya asked, having trouble keeping her focus on one thing.

"It's different to say the least but so far I like it. Actually I love it, its just so…" She thought about the right word.

Naya looked at her. "Beautiful?" She was referring to Heather but she covered it up well enough that the other girl hadn't realised she wasn't referring to the snow.

Heather thought for another second, looking out the large windows. "Yeah beautiful."

"Wait until a blizzard hits and then you'll be saying it's everything but beautiful. The next morning is though, with the snow on the trees, and fresh snow throughout the park that no one has stepped on."

Heather smiled. "You really like it here don't you." Naya nodded.

"Don't worry you'll somewhat get used to the cold, somewhat and by somewhat I mean you'll expect it." Both girls laughed.

Heather stood up. "It's late and I really could use a hot shower I have a chill in my bones that I can't seem to get rid of. I'll be quick I promise, if that's alright by you." Naya nodded. "Is there anything I can do for you before I head upstairs?"

She shook her head no, as Heather walked towards her. "This has to come off, ten on, fifteen off, I'll be back before that though. Here is the remote for the t.v., and dvd player, and here is the remote for the stereo." Heather took the ice pack and put it back in the freezer before heading upstairs for her shower.

I'm not in a t.v. mood so let's see what you've been listening to these days shall we. She placed the other remotes on the table in front of her and pushed the cd button on the remote for the stereo. She stood up and hobbled over to the fireplace wanting to get a better look at the pictures on the mantle. There was a picture of the Morris girls and next to that was a picture of her and Ashley and beside that was a picture of the glee cast, huddled into one of the trailers during one of their parties. The picture was an odd one to have up only because in it you could very clearly see Naya kissing Heather's cheek while the girl made a cute face.

Naya heard the water turn off and hobbled back over to the couch. Noticing for the first time the unique view the position of the couch was in because it was in the exact same position that Naya had had her couch in. If you looked one way you could see outside, and if you looked the other you could see the fireplace. Naya closed her eyes and felt more relaxed than she had in a long time, other than the pain in her ankle of course. She let the music fill her ears, she loved the music Heather listened to.

As she looked out the window as she watched the snow fall, her mind went back to the last night her and Heather had spent together. Naya was so caught up in her thoughts she hadn't heard Heather come back into the living room.

Even with a sore Ankle she looks beautiful. Control Heather, control she's a married woman. Although I'm sure I could change that…No get those thoughts out of your head. She walked slowly over to the couch and put the ice pack back on Naya's ankle causing the girl to jump. "I'm sorry did I hurt you?" Heather took the ice pack off her ankle.

"Oh no, no I was just lost in my own thoughts." She smiled at the girl.

Heather took the opportunity to examine Naya's ankle a little closer. "I think I should call a doctor. Wait did you get up?"

Naya tried to hide the fact that she had gotten up but failed. "I was just going to try and get my cell phone, didn't make it that far though and no, I hate doctors, really I'm fine."

Heather smiled and nodded. I'll go get it for you." She got up once again and retrieving the girls phone before handing it to her. She put the ice pack back on Naya's ankle. "I'm still a little cold I'll be right back.

Naya nodded. God she's beautiful when she gets out of the shower. Stop Naya just stop. She warned herself as she watched Heather walk away.

After making them both hot chocolates, Heather walked back into the living room and handed Naya a mug. "Thanks, oh look marshmallows, whipped cream and all. I should get myself hurt more often." She joked making Heather laughed. She had to admit she missed hearing that laugh knowing that she's the one that brought it out of the girl

Heather went over and stood by the window, something just felt so right about Naya being there. They were silent for a long time, as More Than Anyone by Gavin DeGraw began to play, and both girls just listened. Reminding them both of Naya singing it the last night they were together.

"I'm not married, well not yet anyways. Actually I'm not even that close, I'm not even really engaged." Naya finally let out, as she watched Heather stare out the window.

Heather didn't turn around, so Naya couldn't see the expression on her face. "He is my boyfriend though, he's an amazing guy." She was trying to remind herself of that as she looked at the only person who would ever really have her heart to it's fullest potential. "Why didn't you get married and why didn't you follow me that morning?"

Heather finally turned around, knuckles white from clenching the mug she was holding so tight. "It's late I should really get some sleep and so should you like I said you're fine to stay here, you can stay on the couch or have the guest room."

Naya nodded, picking up her phone she tried Dianna but only got her voicemail.

"I guess I'm fine here since Di doesn't know how to answer her phone but Heather please just tell me." Heather couldn't look at her as Naya tried again.

Heather grabbed another blanket and put it over Naya. "It doesn't matter now, the past is the past, and we can't change it." Even though I'd give up everything to, I can't change it. "If you need anything my room up the stairs and down the hall, very last door. Wait just text me if you need anything I don't want you walking on that ankle. Goodnight Naya." She said with a gentle smile as she took Naya's phone and put her number into it. Setting it near the girl she quietly walked upstairs.

Okay now I really need to know why she didn't come. What the hell was all that the past is in the past crap? Naya sat there with the lights turned off, the only light coming from the fireplace as she listened to the rest of the cd, over and over again all night as she thought about the woman of her dreams just upstairs.
