Chapter 10

~*~*~*~

Take it into town
Happy, happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

They had been back in New York for a week and Phoebe had been restless the entire time.  Cole could no longer take it.  "Phoebe what is going on with you?"

"What?  I'm not doing anything."

"Wrong.  You keep pacing and can't keep still.  You weren't this jittery when you were accused of murder."

"I'm sorry.  I know you have work to do.  I'll go out see if I can calm my nerves down."

"No.  I can't concentrate anyway.  Why don't we go to dinner and then maybe bring dessert back here." he suggested as he caught her and pulled her to him.

She smiled up at him, "Mr. Turner are you trying to seduce me?"

"Always."

Phoebe laughed, "I guess it's true.  A way to girl is through her stomach."

And Cole laughed then.

"Isn't the food good?" he asked.  She had been taking little bites and pushing it around.

"Oh it's great, but Piper makes it better."

"Ah ha!  The truth comes out.  You miss your sisters."

Phoebe looked down.

"I guess I do.  It's just after spending time with them I miss being around them all the time.  And although I love New York I can't go many places without people knowing who I am."

"Do you want to move?"

"A part of me does."

"What does the other part want?"

"The other part doesn't want to leave if your not going to be there. And that is the stronger part."

He shook his head.

The next day Phoebe cleaned their apartment.  Cole had invited her after she was kicked out and hadn't found a new place yet.  All though she did continue to look for a new one, but somehow he always seemed to find fault with it.  Which she knew was his way of saying that he liked their current situation, but sometimes she would like to hear the words.

"Phoebe?" he called out.

"I'm in here." she called from the kitchen.

He came in and gave her a kiss.

"Mmm.  And what are you doing home so early?"

"I'm here to pack." he smiled.

"What?"

"I've just bought a new office in San Francisco and I need to be out there as soon as possible."

"Are you kidding?"

"No."

"COLE!" she shouted and jumped up into his arms.

"Are you serious?  I mean really this isn't a joke?"

He shook his head, "No.  I have the paper work in my briefcase if you don't believe me."

"You are the best!  I have to go and tell my sisters."

~*~

"Hello?"

"PRUE!  GUESS WHAT!!! I'M MOVING BACK TO SAN FRANCISCO!!!"

"WHAT?"

"Yeah!  Cole is moving out there and I'm coming back!"

"That's great Phoebe!  And Piper is coming back home today.  Finally the Halliwells are all back in one place."

"I'll see you soon!  Tell Piper I love her as well as Andy and Leo."

"I will Phoebe.  And I'll see you soon!"
