A/N: Hey there. Sorry for the late update (72 hours, as opposed to 24! That's like, three times as much!) but it all started with me getting 2 hours of sleep because we were attending the Indonesian Liberation from Japan in WW2 commemoration, and I figured it wasn't the best idea to write. After that, I slept for 17 hours straight, and I was too tired to even contemplate writing. Which leads me to the last twenty-four hours in which I've started.

Ahh, we're going to Europe. Whereas I was winging things on the D.C. and L.A. front, I will actually know what I'm talking about in Europe. Even more so when they hit up the Netherlands. I'm hoping to keep up the current pace (A chapter every one or two days) and the story should at least have 10 more chapters (2 chapters per city, plus 2 more chapters in L.A. and then an epilogue is what I'm aiming for.) So that's at least 60.000 more words you're getting from me. Oh joy!

After that, I'll probably immediately start on my second fic, for which I've already planned out the prologue (Hoping to bash that out in two chapters) and the first two proper chapters. It'll be a fic that'll take our favorite couple back to the spy world, with a twist. Fulcrum have built an Intersect, and they get to Chuck before the C.I.A. does. Will start out with Chuck and Jill together, before moving to what everyone knows and loves (Yeah, I'm a sucker for Charah, deal with it.). So keep following this story, and don't forget to keep an eye on either the main page or my profile for when I start my new one. (I might even bash out a chapter, just for the hell of it, while still writing this.) Oh, and as always: Thanks so much for the reviews. I'm incredibly proud to see people enjoying my story, and it makes writing it, so much more enjoyable.

Disclaimer: Don't own Chuck. That is all.

Chapter 9

Sarah was stunned. Yeah, she had been to Europe already. But now she could go with the man that she… well, she loved. That would put a whole new perspective to things. No longer did she have to run around town, trying to find the correct house for a silly interview. Nope, she could take her time. After all, this Orion person was clearly adept at hiding the Intersect. And as far as she knew, it was a computer the size of a football field. So he obviously wasn't going to be moving it any time soon. Who could fault her for staying in these wonderful places a bit longer? Well, that wasn't entirely true. She wasn't too impressed with the Netherlands, and China was huge but only a few places were worth visiting. But Rome and Paris? That was like winning the jackpot… twice. She'd found Chuck's books and had already started devouring every bit of intelligence there was on those places.

She was so encompassed by reading through the books, that she didn't hear Chuck coming in. "Hey beautiful, what are you up to?"

Sarah's head jerked up. "Prepping for our mission." she said, with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Uhu. I have to say, Miss Walker, you are the consummate professional."

Sarah nodded. "And don't you forget it. But you should probably read through them too."

Chuck looked at her, with raised eyebrows. "And why is that?"

"Well, we may be out about our relationship, but that doesn't mean that you can slack off. We're visiting these amazing cities, so you'd better bring your A-game mister." Sarah said with a pout.

Chuck leaned down and kissed her. As they had promised each other, it was the fountain revisited. Needless to say, it wasn't long before they started tugging at each other's clothes. Chuck however, backed off. "You know, not that I mind, but it seems that every time we kiss each other, we're about ready to go at it. Maybe we should dial down our enthusiasm a bit."

Sarah looked at him with a stern face. "You best be joking."

Chuck grinned. "Of course I am. Oh, and by the way, I'll be sure to do my homework. So you have nothing to worry about. I've got magic coming your way."

Sarah nodded. "Good, that's what I like to hear. Now what about picking up where we left off huh?" She tried to waggle her eyebrows in the way that Chuck had done, but failed miserably. Chuck was rolling over from laughing. With a smile, she looked at him. "Well, I don't see what's so funny." she said in mock annoyance.

Chuck dissolved into a fit of giggles. "Oh man," he said after he had regained some composure. "that was one of the funniest things, I've ever seen. You made me laugh so hard, I have to go to the bathroom. Oh, could you call Bryce and update him on where we're going?"

"Sure, but what about picking up?" she said with a pout.

He walked back, and kissed her on the nose. "Don't worry, we'll pick up tonight. I promise."

Sarah nodded. "You'd better. Now go, before any accidents occur."

"Whoops, you're right. I'll be right back." Chuck turned, and ran to the bathroom.

With a smile on her face, Sarah grabbed the phone. She dialed Bryce's number. "Hi, Bryce… Yeah, it's good to hear from you too… Sure… No, we're going to Europe… I know… Could you send some equipment after us? We might need it… Really? When? Oh my God… That sounds horrible… They killed him? Who? Those assholes… He was a good and decent man, he didn't deserve to die like that… Yeah… I'll tell him… Alright, I'll see you later Bryce."

She turned off the phone, still upset about hearing of Shaw's demise. When she shifted her gaze, it landed on the face of a very annoyed and angry Ellie. "Who did I just hear you talking to?"

Sarah shook her head. "No one… important."

"Yeah, right. And I'm the pope of the universe. Were you talking to Bryce Larkin?"

Sarah hesitated for the briefest of moments, but Ellie caught on. "Really, Sarah? You're cheating on him already? And with Bryce. Oh that's just fantastic. Get out of his room, right now."

"Ellie, it's not what you think?"

"And what do you think, I'm thinking."

"You're thinking that I'm cheating on Chuck, with Bryce. But that's not it at all… It's… it's… it's complicated?"

Ellie scoffed. "Wow, you're really bad at this whole lying stuff, aren't you? Get to the living room, right now." Ellie walked over, and yanked Sarah's arm. Sarah knew she could defend herself, but had no intention of hurting Ellie. But Sarah knew that if they didn't tell her the truth, this might very well spiral out of control.

As Ellie dragged her to the table, she heard the flushing of the toilet. "Sit down!" Ellie commanded. "You're going to wait until Chuck gets here, and then you're going to tell him what a disgusting slut you are. And after that, I never want to see you here again."

The words uttered by Ellie touched Sarah to her core. Not about cheating on Chuck, she would never cross that line. If, and the chance that it would happen was almost in the negatives, she would ever have any sexual interest in another man with the possibility of a relationship, she'd do the honorable thing and inform Chuck that it was over. She just didn't see it happening any time soon, if ever.

No, the words that elicited such a strong emotion within her were the one thing that she was truly scared of. That Chuck would decide that he couldn't be in a relationship with someone like her. That he would find out that he could do ten times better than her, and would simply up and leave. The tears that she felt building up overflowed her eye sockets.

Ellie was taken aback by the sudden shift in emotion. Sure, she was pissed at her. Actually, she was furious at her. Someone was about to ruin Chuck's life for the umpteenth time. But she had also come to accept Sarah as a sister. So of course her mother instincts had to kick in overdrive. Still, she had to hold strong, for Chuck's sake. So she physically grabbed the table to make sure she couldn't run over and make all of Sarah's demons go away.

Chuck however, had no idea what happened, and when he saw an emotionally broken Sarah, his boyfriend instincts went into full on overdrive / panic mode. He sprinted towards her, and closed her in his arms. He started stroking her hair, and whispering consoling words into her ear. Sarah clung to Chuck's shirt, and buried her face in his chest. Ellie was looking at the exchange with a scowl on her face.

"Why are you giving Sarah your death-glare, Ellie?" Chuck asked.

"Why don't we let Sarah tell you that?" Ellie said, with a lot less venom than she was originally going for.

Sarah continued sobbing, and couldn't physically speak. After five minutes of continued sobbing, she finally managed to talk. "She thinks I'm cheating on you with Bryce."

Chuck laughed. "Well, if you did, you should become a spy or something."

Ellie's scowl turned into a questioning look. "You're not going to ask if it's true? She's been cheating on you… With Bryce Larkin."

The smile on Chuck's face served to annoy Ellie further. "Did we somehow land in a different dimension, where Jill didn't cheat on you, and I didn't have to console you for a year after that?"

Chuck winced at the cheap shot. "I'm sure that she's not cheating on me Ellie. So could you please apologize to her?"

Ellie seethed. "How the hell do you know for sure? You couldn't even recognize the fact that she was flirting at you. Devon told me about one meet, and I already knew what was going on."

Chuck nodded. "True. But the reason I know for sure is, because ever since we've been back from D.C., Sarah hasn't been out of my sight for longer than five minutes. Don't get me wrong, I've always figured Bryce as someone who would be quick, but not that quick. Well, I mean, we probably didn't see each other for an hour after going our separate ways after the club, but when she came back, she seemed plenty motivated, so I'm guessing she didn't go to Bryce then."

Ellie was shocked. "Oh… Oh God… Sarah… I'm so, so sorry…"

She let go of the table, and ran over to the couple. She all but shoved Chuck away, and took Sarah in her arms. "Sarah, oh my God. Please, please forgive me. I was too quick to make an assumption, but when I heard that name, something snapped. Oh my God, I feel like such a bitch."

Sarah, who had reduced to soft sobs, managed to look up. Her eyes were red and puffy, and a trail of snot was leaking from her nose, which she unceremoniously removed with the back of her hand. "It's okay." she managed to push out. "If it was true, it was a justifiable response."

Chuck walked back to Sarah. He took over from Ellie, and guided her to the couch. As he sat her down, she snuggled back into his shirt, which by now was soaked with her tears. Chuck rubbed her back, as Ellie meekly sat down across from them. "Now, will you tell me what has gotten you so upset? Surely you wouldn't have me believe that you thought that you had cheated on me?"

Sarah's sobbing died down. As she used Chuck's shirt to blow her nose (which caused Chuck to develop a slight grimace.) she leaned back, and looked him in the eye. "Because she was right."

Chuck arched an eyebrow. "About the cheating?"

Despite the emotions running through Sarah, she still managed to crack a small smile. "Not about that… But when she… when she called me a disgusting slut."

Chuck turned a scowl on Ellie. "Why did you call her a disgusting slut?"

Ellie shrugged. "I know it was out of line, but in my defense, I thought she cheated on you with Bryce."

Chuck shook his head in disdain, and turned back to Sarah. "And why was she right about that?"

"Because… I… am…" she sobbed out.

"Is this about your past again?"

Sarah nodded her head. "You're going to wake up one day, and realize that you can do much better than me."

Chuck sighed. He stood up, and helped Sarah up as well. "Ellie, I'm going to take Sarah back to my room. I need to have a talk with her. Will you do me a favor and wait here?"

Ellie nodded, but stood up and walked over to the cupboard. "Before you go, you should have Sarah take this." She tossed a pregnancy test towards Chuck, who fumbled it but still managed to catch it before it fell to the ground.

"A pregnancy test? Really?"

Ellie shrugged. "Well, I know for a fact that you had sex. Last night served to prove that. Don't worry, I didn't walk into your room when you were in the… throes of passion. But Sarah is pretty loud. Anyway, just have her take the test, just in case."

"Right, whatever…" Chuck said, with the blush apparent in his face. "Uh, I'll see you soon I guess."

"Oh yeah, and when you get back, you're going to tell me exactly why Sarah was talking to Bryce Larkin." Ellie called after the couple. Chuck sighed in resignation.

He guided Sarah into their room, sat her on the bed, and closed the door. He crouched in front of her, and angled her head so that she was looking at him.

"You know, it's funny. I always figured that I would be the one who would get emotional over stuff, and you could be the cool one. But that's okay, because I've got this all figured out. You're worried that I will leave you, because I'm better than you. While I appreciate the sentiment, I can say from the bottom of my heart that you are more than enough for me, and as for being better than you. Well, I'm pretty sure I made my stance on that particular subject pretty clear from the day we met. Remember? Scientists, models and even a lie detector wanting to be you?"

Sarah smiled as she remembered the speech at the restaurant.

"But Sarah, I do know how to fix this little problem. I actually have two choices here. One. I ask you to marry me. It would show that I'm dead serious about wanting this relationship to work out. However, I'm not going to do that right now. I don't have a ring, and this isn't really the most romantic spot in the world."

Sarah's eyes blissfully stopped leaking.

"What I can do however is this. Sarah, I am head over heels, out of my mind in love with you. I am actually happier with you than I was with Jill, and I'm not saying that to spite Jill. After all, I was going to propose to her. So here's the deal. I promise you that the moment that I feel that I'm not happy about things anymore, I will talk to you about it. And I hope you can make me the same promise."

Sarah nodded. "Yes Chuck… I promise." she said, with a small voice. "But there's something else that I have to tell you. I understand that my… outburst may have been a bit much. It's just that… I've never felt this way in my life, Chuck. I've never had someone to go home to. I barely ever had a real home. My own apartment is so… empty. There's barely anything there. My life is here. And I can't lose that… But when your sister said what she said… I got scared."

Sarah sniffled, but continued. "I got scared that you would see me for what I really am. Because she's right you know? Well, maybe not now, but I used to be. I just hope you can forgive me."

Chuck nodded. "Tell me something, Sarah. Ever since we've started dating exclusively, have you been with someone else?" Sarah shook her head. "Okay, well, have you thought about being with someone else?" Again, Sarah shook her head. Chuck smiled. "And are you going to be with someone else while we're still seeing each other and in this case, living together?"

"I'm not planning it."

"Well then, why would I have any reason to break up with you? In case you haven't noticed, and I'll say it again: I'm madly in love with you, and I really don't see that changing any time soon. There is absolutely nothing to worry about on that front. As a matter of fact, every day that I wake up and you're there, I'm pretty sure I love you even more than the day before that. So, are we okay?"

Sarah nodded.

"Good. Now, I doubt this is necessary but let's just humor Ellie here." He gave her the pregnancy test.

Sarah sighed, and got up. "You know that I haven't had sex for at least 6 months before last night, right?"

"I know. As I said, this is simply to humor Ellie. What you saw out there was moderately-angry Ellie. She can still switch to Defcon-1 Ellie which is at least ten times more terrifying. And if we don't do what she wants, she'll probably skirt along those edges. Trust me, you don't want that."

Sarah laughed. Chuck was again amazed by how beautiful it sounded. She walked to the bathroom, and Chuck lay back on the bed. He had never seen Sarah so… broken. He hoped there wasn't anything else about her past that could set her off like that. Sure, he had heard her stories. She was for all intents and purposes, a social reject when she was a teenager. He couldn't blame her. Her dad neglected her, until she successfully conned people. She didn't even go to college or a university. She didn't have any sort of normal relationship growing up. He could understand how it would mess someone up. He himself had experienced it. He just hoped that Sarah would confide in him.

As Sarah walked back, she laid the test down on Chuck's desk. She walked over to Chuck, and lay down. As she snuggled into his arms, she let out a contented sigh. "I love you, Chuck."

"I love you too, Sarah."

"I'm really sorry for freaking out."

"You don't have anything to be sorry about, Sarah." Chuck said, as he softly kissed her head. "I just hope that I could alleviate your fears."

Sarah nodded. "You did. So, what about Europe?"

Chuck's demeanor changed in an instant. "Oh man, Europe's going to be so cool!" he cried out. "I've been thinking about it, and well, since you've already been to Italy, I'm thinking I'll let you in charge of Rome, but…" He was stopped mid sentence, as Sarah kissed him with a passion.

"You remembered?" She said, after releasing her grasp on him.

Chuck's goofy smile was in place. "Of course. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't learn all these things about the woman I love?"

"But I told you that on our first date… In the car… As a matter of fact, we only spent about two sentences each on the topic of Europe. And you didn't love me back then."

Chuck shrugged. "Who says I didn't?"

Sarah really didn't have an answer for him. Mostly because if she was honest with herself, truly honest, she had fallen for him that first date as well. She had fallen hard. It was the best fall she had ever had. So she just snuggled up, and gave him a light kiss.

"Hey, I thought we had a deal?" Chuck said, sounding mildly affronted.

Sarah shrugged. "Sometimes the moment just asks for soft approach."

"Oh, well, in that case, do you mind if I sometimes apply a soft approach? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the passion we've been having these last couple of days, but I don't think that every time we show some intimacy, we're mere seconds from ripping clothes off of each other. The only good thing about it all is that my reluctance with PDA has almost been obliterated."

"If you must." Sarah said, with a mock sigh, all the while with a smile ghosting on her lips.

"Oh, by the way. I know I haven't said it in a while, but you're amazing."

Sarah laughed. "I'm pretty sure we're way past the point of having to remind each other that. I think we can safely assume that it's been replaced by saying I love you. Which I do."

"I love you too. Okay, it's time to look on the test, so we can go back out, and tell Ellie that she's being insane."

Sarah nodded, and stood up. She walked over to the test, and looked at the results. "Yep, it's negative."

Chuck stood up. "Ah, so that means that our two times last night didn't lead to conception? Aw, shucks."

Sarah laughed. "Don't worry; we'll have time to try again tonight."

Chuck's eyebrows shot up. "What, really?"

Sarah pondered it for a moment. "Wait, do you want to have a child?"

Chuck sighed. "I don't know. I mean, someday, I definitely do. But I don't know if now's the right time."

"Well, let's just breach this topic again at a later point in time. As for right now, let's enjoy what we have." Sarah said.

"Yeah, you're right. Anyway, let's go face Ellie. She kind of wants to know why you were talking to Bryce, and I think it's time to tell her. Sufficed to say, it's not going to be fun."

Sarah stood up, and held out her hand. Chuck instantly linked up with her. Chuck was right. This wasn't going to be fun.

The silence at the table was deafening. Chuck and Sarah had made a silent pact to not start the conversation, and it seemed that Ellie and Devon were going for similar tactics. The only thing heard was the soft ticking of the clock.

Chuck didn't do well under Ellie's gaze. When he averted his eyes, he saw that Sarah was having a much easier time with Devon, who seemed to crumble under her stare.

"I can't take this anymore!" both men blurted out at the same time.

Sarah and Ellie laughed, and the tension was gone.

"So, are you guys going to tell us what's going on?"Ellie asked, with a decidedly fake sweet tone to her voice. Both Chuck and Sarah knew that she was really demanding them to speak.

"Um… right… what's going on… why Sarah was calling with Bryce… See… I think Sarah can explain it much better than I can." Chuck finished.

"Oh-ho-ho no, you're not shoving this one off on me. She's your sister, you tell her." Sarah replied.

Chuck sighed. "Fine… So uh… Ellie, Devon… What I'm about to tell you is top-secret. You can't repeat this to anyone. Sarah and I… we're sorta' freelancing for the C.I.A."

Ellie sat there, running through the words. Devon's eyebrows shot up in his hair. "So wait… you're telling me you two are… spies?"

"Uh… I don't know really. We're really just investigating some leads. Sarah is quite the reporter you know." Chuck said, which caused Sarah to develop a minor blush.

"That's awesome. Seriously, Chuckster that's bad-ass. And Sarah too? Now I know why you were so terrifying. You're a freaking spy."

Sarah chuckled. "Sorry to disappoint, Devon. We're just doing one job for them, and after that we will never ever talk to them again."

"You're not going to Europe." Ellie suddenly said.

"Uh… what?" Chuck responded with an eloquence of words that he so often showed.

"I'm assuming that Bryce is part of the C.I.A.? Well, you're going to call him, and tell him you're not going. It's too dangerous… for both of you."

"It's kind of hard to say no to the government, Ellie." Chuck replied. "And why aren't you freaking out more about the fact that Bryce Larkin is part of the C.I.A.? When I found out, I damn near had a panic attack."

Ellie shook her head. "Bryce Larkin died the day he betrayed you. I honestly couldn't care less about what he decides to do with his life. But I won't allow him to ruin your life once again. Or Sarah's."

"Uh, Sis. That trip to D.C. was actually a mission. And it was perfectly safe. We just talked to some people, and were on our way again." Chuck didn't have the heart to tell her about all the conflicting reports on Bryce, and the fact that the computer they were supposed to find could very well pull the world into a dictatorship.

"But it's the C.I.A.! Can you honestly look me in the eye, and tell me that the C.I.A. is a safe job?" Ellie countered.

Sarah was actually the one to conjure up a reply. "Don't worry, Ellie. I've got a black belt in Jiu Jitsu, and I've got some weapons training. Courtesy of my former military Dad. I can protect Chuck."

Ellie looked at her skeptically. "Don't get me wrong, Sarah, but you don't exactly look like a girl that's fit for bodyguard duties."

Sarah shrugged. "That's okay. I can give you a demonstration if you want."

"Eh… I'll take your word for it. But still, I don't like this at all, Chuck."

"If it makes you feel any better, John Casey will be following us." Chuck said.

"Chuck!" Sarah hissed. "We're not supposed to let them know that."

"I already checked the house for bugs. And if it'll get Ellie to stop worrying, why shouldn't we tell her?"

Ellie shook her head. "There's no way to talk you out of this, is there?"

"Sorry, Sis."

Ellie sighed. "Fine, then tell me what the plan is."

"Well, first off, we will be hitting all the countries in Europe. Since the most logical route would be to start in the Netherlands, then to France and to finish in Italy, that's the one we'll be taking." Sarah rolled her eyes, as Chuck's explanation drudged on. "From there we'll take a flight to Asia, before returning back to Los Angeles. All in all, I'm guessing we'll be gone for a month."

Ellie sighed, and then nodded. Chuck noticed that she seemed to sigh a lot when she was in the vicinity of him. He'd have to think about what that implied. "Fine, but I'm expecting updates every other day."

Chuck quickly agreed. They stood up, and hugged each other. "Well, I've got to get ready for my shift. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Ellie said. She walked out muttering something about the C.I.A., Bryce Larkin and a couple of exotic diseases that Chuck had only vaguely heard of.

"From never flying to globetrotting in Europe within a week. That's impressive." Chuck said. They had gathered at LAX and had just passed customs. "And all that on the tax-payers dime."

Casey's grunt was deciphered as: "Wasting good people's money so the moron can live the life of a jetsetter."

"So Casey… Mind if I call you Casey?" Chuck started.

Casey's shrug leaned towards indifference.

"Anyway, since we're supposed to be suspicious of Bryce and everything, I'm guessing that when he said we would have equipment waiting for us there probably wouldn't be any. Is the N.S.A. able to hook us up?"

"I'll be definitely having equipment. I can probably hook up Walker as well. But nothing for you. These are big-boy toys we're handling."

Chuck looked relieved. "Oh, that's all I wanted to know. Thanks, Casey."

Casey arched an eyebrow, not happy with his attempt at needling the moron, as he had begun to call him, failing.

Chuck shrugged. "I've got this thing against guns. I really don't like them, but it's nice to know that when stuff goes down, at least we won't have to hide and hope that they decide they'd rather save money by saving bullets, than hunting us down."

They walked to the assigned gate, and if Chuck was honest with himself, he couldn't wait. He had always wanted to visit Europe, and he was going with his girlfriend. Sure, having a shadow wasn't all that, especially if said shadow had taken an oath to protect said girlfriend, but still. He was going with Sarah. That alone qualified this all as awesome. He really did need to stop spending so much time with Devon though.

"Listen, moron. I don't care what kind of sick and twisted things you and Walker decide to get up to, as long as I don't have to see them. If you want to do something with Walker in the countries, you let me know. But if you decide to get all lovey-dovey, I will shoot myself, after shooting you. Is that clear?"

"Crystal." Chuck said, before swallowing roughly.

"Hey Alex, what's up with you calling me Walker, all of a sudden?" Sarah asked.

"Huh? Oh, I don't know. I always used last names for my partners. Guess it was from when I was in the military."

Sarah shrugged. "I like it."

Casey's grunt sounded like something along the lines of: "Whatever."

"Make sure you guys get plenty of rest. There's a 9 hour time difference between here and the Netherlands, and the flight's going to take over 14 hours. We've got a stop planned at Dulles International in Washington. After that it's a straight flight to Amsterdam." Chuck said.

"Thanks for the update, Thomas Cook." Casey half-grunted half-said.

The flight itself went smooth. Chuck had only a minor bout of anxiety, which was easily solved by Sarah snuggling up to him. Casey wisely chose to sit in a different aisle. Somewhere during the flight, Sarah had fallen asleep. The serene look on her face caused Chuck to silently contemplate how his life had changed ever since that fateful day at Stanford. He had always pictured a life with Jill. Even after he had found her with Bryce, every time he would lift the veil in his dreams, Jill's face was looking back at him. He still had those dreams, but now it was Sarah's blue eyes staring back into his.

He felt a twinge of guilt towards Jill, when he realized that he was happier with Sarah than he had ever been with Jill. But Sarah chose that moment to shift a little, and clutch his shirt in her hands, letting out a blissful sigh. All the guilt that Chuck felt flew away, and was replaced by his own feeling of blissful tranquility. He started stroking Sarah's hair, as he felt sleep overtake him, reveling in the feel of the woman that he loved.

A/N 2: Oh dear. Here I thought that I'd get them to Europe, and suddenly all the fluff started flowing out… AGAIN! Oh well, next chapter they're in Europe. I promise! So, next up, we've got Chuck and Sarah stoned (can't wait to see how I write that. It'll be interesting to say the least.), bullets will be flying and there may or not be an explosion. Oh, and I've made a decision on whether or not to include Jill in this story. The excerpt below should clear that question up. It won't be in the next chapter, but it'll definitely be in a chapter.

"Sarah," Chuck said, with eyes wide as saucers. "You just knocked out my ex."

Sarah scoffed. "That's what she gets for breaking your heart."

Until next time!
