A few days have passed and now Sophie was safe and ready to go back home and to her normal like but the way Finch looked at her when she was about to leave, it felt like a stab to the heart, his facial expression didn't said much but his eyes, those pretty blue eyes hidden behind his glasses showed how sad and hurt he was because this probably was going to be the last time he would see her.

Sophie walked over to him, invading his personal space. If it was any other person he would step back to protect that personal space but with her it was different, he needed and wanted the closeness. She leaned over and then softly and somehow seductively, whispered in his ear. "This is not a goodbye, Harold. I'm going back home but I'm not leaving you, I will see you again soon."

Harold shivered as he noticed the tone of her voice and was about to speak but almost froze when he felt Sophie's warm and soft lips on his, capturing him in a gentle yet passionate kiss, it took him a moment to react but he then returned the kiss with equal gentleness and passion. It felt so right, the way she slid an arm around his back and the other rested on his head, running her fingers through his hair, Harold hesitated a moment but then wrapped his arms around her, holding her closer to him. The way their bodies felt pressed up against the other, it was so perfect, like if they were made for one another.

Hesitantly, Harold broke the kiss when the air became a necessity but he didn't move away from her. She gently laid her forehead against his, moving her hand down his hair to his neck and caressed it gently, trying not to hurt his old wounds. "Thank you…" She whispered softly, he gently moved a hand up to gently stroke her cheek. "No, thanks to you, you've made me feel things I haven't felt in years, I constructed a wall around my heart many years ago but you broke it again."

Sophie smiled softly as she listened to him, just those words told her what she felt for him was reciprocated. She pecked his lips softly and closed her eyes a moment as she said those three words she have never said to any other man besides his father, she have had relationships, of course but never loved them, at least not the way she loves him. "I love you, Harold."

Harold stayed in silent a moment, letting his genius brain process what she just said. She is a beautiful young woman who could have any man she wanted, a guy of her age and handsome but no, she wanted and love him. A man who have never considered himself handsome and less since the accident, he couldn't turn his head much, walks with a limp, is a little genius and wasn't the best looking man, yet it was he who she wanted.

"You don't have to say anything, your actions says more." She whispered softly and that made him come back to the reality. Sophie gently rested her head on his shoulder, laying her face against his neck and took a deep breath, taking in his essence then let out a soft sigh, enjoying the closeness.

"…I… I love you too… Sophie." He whispered back for only the two of them to hear while gently running a hand over her back, caressing it, making her relax against him.

"I know." She smiled contentedly and stayed closer to him but then after a while, she pulled back. "I don't want to but I have to go, dad must be wondering where I've been and I don't want him coming after you and/or John."

"Don't worry, John have had a… conversation with him about all this. He knows you're safe and is waiting for you to come back."

She nodded softly. "Thanks for everything, I hope I see you again soon, I got so used to having you around even if it was just watching you typing on your computer." She grinned softly. "I'm really going to miss you."

"Don't thank me, it was my job to keep you safe and I'm glad we did, you've changed me and I will miss you too so much." This time it was he who leaned over for another gentle kiss. "I promise we will meet again soon."

Sophie returned the kiss just as gentle and smiled softly while nodding. "I'm looking forward to it." She winked at him and grabbed her stuff then headed over to the door, before leaving she turned around to look at him once again. "Remember I love you and only you."

Harold watched her while doing the same even though they would go separate ways. "I could never forget it, I love you too." He smiled softly.

She leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth then headed outside, leaving the place to go back home with her father.
