(About a month has passed, and during that time Finn had kept going to his A.A. meetings four times a week, as well as helping out Logan at the photo shop. The two of them had finally taken care of the wedding clients they had in addition to the engagement couple shoots as well. At the moment they two of them are at the shop once more and Logan is checking up on his best friend)

*At Flawless*

"Hey man, how are you doing these days? I haven't seen you for about two weeks now?"-Logan

"The same old same old to be honest. Still going to meetings, practicing on improving the camera skills, and I am going to move to a different house."-Finn

(looks over briefly to see if he is serious then gets back to his editing project) " Are you sure you want to do that? Is it what is best for you, and your steps to maintain sobriety?"-Logan

"I talked about it with my sponsor, and he thinks it would be a great thing. That house holds a lot of memories of Rory and I. Not that that is a bad thing necessarily but I can't move on from her and truly want her to be happy if she is all I think about you know?"-Finn

"Fair enough logic. Where are you thinking of moving to?"-Logan

"I put in an offer on a house about three days ago in a location called LITH."-Finn

"What does LITH stand for?"-Logan

"Lake in the Hollows. It is about fifteen minutes away from the shop, which isn't too bad."-Finn

"It is actually the perfect distance away. Do you plan on telling Rory? She may want to move back into that place."-Logan

"I probably won't tell her. The two of us actually haven't talked to one another since she moved the rest of her stuff out of the house a month ago. We decided that it would be best for all involved to walk away and not converse until we truly have no bad feelings nor resentment left towards one another. What do you think about that?"-Finn

"I think that it is honestly the best thing for you as well as her. You are risking not just your psychical health but your mental health as well if you put yourselves in that situation once more."-Logan

(the two are quiet for a little bit of time but Logan can sense that Finn wishes to say something more)

"Go ahead and say."-Logan

"Say what?"-Finn

"The one thing that you are avoiding for some odd reason. You aren't going to look foolish I promise you that so please just say it."- Logan

"I miss her, man. I feel like I didn't fight for her hard enough. It just seems like Steve came in said what he wanted to say, she picked him, and walked away without any care for how it would effect me."-Finn

"It makes sense that you miss her dude, the two of you were together for almost five years hell you almost planned a wedding together for crying out loud. However, in the long run you didn't really fight for her. At least not in the same way that Steve did and won her over."-Logan

"I don't understand what you mean."-Finn

"Finn, how often did you put Rory's happiness above your own?"-Logan

(stops and thinks for a few moments) "Maybe about once a week maybe every other week."-Finn

"How many times did Steve or I have to call her late at night explaining that you were out of your mind wasted, in a violent mood and that you wouldn't be coming home until the two of us were no longer afraid that you wouldn't do psychical harm to her?"-Logan

"More times than I can count."-Finn

"Do you know why it was so "easy" for Steve to win her back, Finn?"-Logan

(it hits him the point that his friend was trying so hard to make)

"Because, Steve has always put her first, expressed his emotions towards her, cares about her truly, and unselfishly. He deserves not only her mind, but her heart as well as her soul. I never really fought for her even when she was all I wanted in my life. In the long run he truly is the best person for her."-Finn

"No offense, but yes he is."-Logan

"For the first time in almost a month I am not offended by thinking that let alone hearing it."-Finn

*At Heavenly*

"Hey, Rory just thought that you should know that you have two clients coming in around noon until two then you are done for the rest of the day."-Haley

"Sounds good to me, thanks for letting me know."-Rory

(whispers) "Hey, how are you and Steve doing?"-Haley

(hearts skips a beat) "How did you know? Are we that obvious?"-Rory

(laughs) "Not at all hun. The only reason I know is because you stopped scheduling your massages with him as of late and I figured that the only reason that would occur is if the two of you tried dating once more."-Haley

(breathes a sigh of relief) " Thank the lord. I was about to say we try to be discreet as possible."-Rory

"Believe me you two are. Hey, my shift is done now so I am going to head out, but I shall see you tomorrow."-Haley

"It was good to see you though. Bye"-Rory

"See you."-Haley

(she took care of her clients then headed back to the front desk to see if anyone else had booked with her. Little did she know that her boyfriend had walked up rather quietly behind her)

"You done for the day?"-Steve

(jumps about a foot in the air, then turns around and gives him a quick hug) "You have got to stop doing that baby! But yes, I think so, already texted the boss to make sure it was okay that I left early. I mean I still plan on going for a swim first, but afterwards I am going to head to the grocery store, then do a bit more furniture shopping if that is okay?"-Rory

"Of course it is, baby. Would you like me to go for a swim with you?'-Steve

(looks at him with a mixture of love and pure joy in her eyes) "I would love nothing more than for you to do that. Did you bring your suit with you?"-Rory

"Always do, just in case of situations like this one."-Steve

"You are amazing you know that right?"-Rory

"You help bring it out in me. I love you."-Steve

"I love you as well. Let's go get started on our errands shall we?"-Rory

"Let's go."-Steve
