Harold woke up first, early in the morning. He looked over to see Sophie laying closer into his arms, sleeping peacefully like a little angel, he watched her because this was going to be the last time he sees her, the last time he wakes up with her in his arm, with her warmth making him feel home. Now it was time to let that little angel (Sophie) fly away. He carefully leaned forward and kissed the side of her head, trying not to wake her up then gently replaced himself in the bed with the pillows when he stood up. Once again he looked down at her, he felt like if his heart has stopped beating when he got dressed and reluctantly left the house.

He headed to the park where he talked with Reese for the first time. He sat down on the bench along, looking away at the horizon, letting his genius brain think about everything that happened and then things that were going to come. How his life's going to change once again, he would be dead inside, without a reason to continue besides the numbers. He knows he needed her but he also needed her to be alive even if that involved losing her.

Reese was concerned and somehow worried about his employer, he never acts that way and he hasn't heard anything about him since the night before. He had promised to don't ask anything about it but he had to find out what was bothering Harold so he thought about the possible places where he could be and checked them until he spotted him sitting on the bench, he quietly walked over and sat down beside him.

"I like my privacy, Mr. Reese." Finch dryly broke the silence, not turning to face John.

John looked at him and nodded softly. "I know but you've been acting different. I know something wrong and I would like to know what is it so I can at least try to help."

It took all of him for Finch to don't break down in front of his employee. He went back to his business tone. "My personal life is none of your business, Mr. Reese."

Personal life? He seems hurt, of course he does! Reese thought then remembered the latest events and knew what was going on. "What happened with Sophie?" He asked softly, waiting to see the genius's reaction.

Harold turned to look at him a moment, he knew he was trapped. There wasn't a way he could get out of this, sooner or later Reese was going to find out what was wrong so he sighed and gave up. "I left her…" He said softly, obviously sounding hurt and devastated.

Reese stayed in silence a moment, he has seen how much Finch and Sophie loved each other, how their eyes sparkled when they talked about the other, the great communication they had, he knew there had to be something really bad happening to make Finch take that decision and then he remembered. "The new number was hers, wasn't it?"

Harold looked up at him and nodded lightly, seeing how easy it was for Reese to read him sometimes. "I told her about the machine and what do we do for living that simple fact put her in risk and I got her number again. This time the only way we could save her is if she goes away and disappears."

"Maybe we could find another way to protect her, don't let what happened with Grace happen again. I saw how happy and different you are with her." Reese said softly, knowing how much it hurt to leave behind the person you love the most just to save their life.

"There's nothing else we could do. If she leaves now then she can start a new life but if she stays, she probably will die and I can't deal with that. I just let her go and right now I would like to have some time alone if you don't mind, John." He said while standing up again.

Reese sighed softly, understanding him, sadly and then nodded softly as he watched him. "Of course, you know where to find me if you need me." He said softly as he watched his boss disappear.

Sophie stirred and opened her eyes when she reached over and didn't feel Harold in the bed with her. She sat up, wrapping the covers around her naked body and realized Harold left before she wake up so he wouldn't have to say goodbye again. She ran her fingers through her own hair and sniffled as she felt another few tears rolling down her cheeks. Now she was sure this was the last time she would be with him. From this day on she would wake up the same way every morning, alone and reaching for him. She shook her head and cried a bit longer then got up and showered before getting dressed and grabbed her stuff to leave the house.

She headed back home and grabbed a suitcase where she started to put all of her belongings. While packing she found an album she have hidden with the photos of her and Harold together, she wasn't sure about taking it with her but she knew if she left it her father would find it and eventually find Harold, she couldn't let that happen so she put it in the suitcase too, after all that album contained her memories of the precious moments they shared together.

Sophie didn't give a real explanation to her father about why she was leaving like that; she just said she needed some vacations, time to relax. After all, James was used to her leaving for concerts and that so he didn't asked much but told her to stay in contact with her.

She went to the park where she has seen Reese for the first time before he rescued her and sang a last song before leaving.

I die for your kisses ,

for your ungrateful smile,

for your beautiful touch , it's you my joy ..

I pray for you to don't fail me

for you to never leave me and forget me

I'm the one who loves you

I'm the one who waits for you

I'm the one who cries for you

I am the one who crave you minutes and hours ..

I'm dying to kiss you,

sleep in your mouth

I'm dying to tell you that the world is wrong ..

I'm dying to kiss you

sleep in your mouth

I'm dying to tell you that the world is wrong ..

it's wrong ..

it's wrong

I die for your absence

that makes me miss

it makes me dream of you when I miss you more

I ask in the morning for you

to wake up next to me tangled in bed

I miss you there and

I'm the one who waits

I'm the one who cries for you

I am the one who crave you minutes and hours ..
