FINALLY UNITED
by Judi Cronk
this starts off from when Luis went back to
Sheridan's cottage during the whole face Luis.
Chapter 1
Luis stood outside of Sheridan's cottage with a million questions
racing though his mind. With one standing out the most. What did he do
wrong? He walked over to the window and stared though it and looked
directly at Sheridan. She was holding the plaque that he had given her
after finishing her community service. He stared at her attentively as she
got up. He saw that anger was boiling though Sheridan as she quickly
looked at the plaque than threw it with all her might against the wall.
Luis' heart sank as he saw her throw the plaque
"so that's how she really feels about me," he said to himself as he
turned around. Sheridan clasped into a chair and covered her face with
her hands and began to cry and let her sorrows out. With his back turned
Luis slowly walked back this patrol car and drove off.
All the way home the seance played though his mind over and over again
and each time hurting him more. All he could hear was the bang of the
plaque hitting the wall then the floor. Each time the sound seemed to
get louder and louder.
Luis walked into the house and took off his jacket. He saw Theresa
siting on the couch. She looked up and noticed that there was something
wrong.
"Luis what's the matter you look terrible."
"Nothing is the matter. I'm fine." Luis lied to her and himself.
"No, there is something wrong. I can tell it's written all over your
face. Dose it have to do with Sheridan?" Theresa said with concern
"Yes" Luis said
"Do you want to talk about it as you can see I have nothing better to do."
"No, I don't want to talk about it right now."
"Well, guess what your going to talk about it any way. Now have a seat
and we'll discussed what's going on." Luis told Theresa about what
happen. He got all his feelings off his chest.
"I really thought we had something. I mean everything felt so right,
thenwhen I saw her just throw the plaque like that. I saw how she
really felt about me."
"Luis it sounds like you really fell hard for Sheridan."
"I guess I ooh I don't know. It all so confusing. I mean she happy to
see me one minute and the next thing I know she slapped me in the face."
"Well, Luis there is only one thing I can say. If you really do have
some kind of feelings for Sheridan you'll go back and find out what went
wrong. That means you'll have to go back there and talk to her. You
might also tell her how you really feel about her."
Luis sat there for a few seconds contemplating what his sister had just
said to him. "That's really good advice but the thing is I don't think
I can face her not after what I saw."
"You have to Luis. If you know what's best for yourself, you will
realize that you have to clear the air with Sheridan. You don't want this
bugging you for the rest of your life do you, Luis."
"Your right Theresa I have to talk Sheridan before she leaves. I have
to find out what happen to us other wise I will always be wondering
about what happen and what could have happen." Luis then got up and
headed for the door but then turned around and gave Theresa a kiss on the
forehead. "Thanks you, when did you become so smart." With that Luis
rushed out of the door and headed for Sheridan's' cottage.
Sheridan looked at her hands and started to whipped away her tears.
She sat there on the chair then moved to the floor. She sat there hiding
from the world and her pain. All she could see was Luis on the phone
saying how he was using her. It hurt Sheridan so much. How could this
happen to her again? How could she let this happen to her self? "This
is all my fault. How could I not see this sooner? I should have known
better." Sheridan said out loud to her self. She looked up at the
ceiling and rubbed her neck. "I need to get out of here" Sheridan said as
she got up. She walked over to the door and put her coat on. Sheridan
opened the door and started to walk when she heard a car coming to the
cottage. Sheridan quickly ran into the bushes and peeked through them.
She saw the car park and Luis steep out. "What is he doing here."
Sheridan asked out loud. She didn't know what to do. Should she go up to
Luis or hide in the bushes away from him? Sheridan decided to say in
the bushes and watch Luis. She watched him walk up to the door and
hesitate. Sheridan saw Luis just stand there for a few moments. She was
tempted to go up to Luis and put herself in his arms, but she knew that
couldn't happen. Not after what happen. She saw Luis pacing back and
forth on her door steep. Then Sheridan saw Luis finally knock on the
door. She saw him nervously tug on his jacket and put his hand though
his hair. He knocked on the door again. She then saw Luis walk over to
her window and look thought it. He then turned around and walk slowly
back to his car. Sheridan peered through the leaves and looked at Luis
just siting in his car for a while. After a few minutes of just siting
there Luis turned the car on and left. Sheridan stood up and watched
the car drive away. She turned around and walked towards the beach.
She played the seance in her head and wished so much she could have
rushed into his arms and change everything. Sheridan then stopped and
stared out into the ocean. She sat down in the sand and thought to herself.
The wind blew though her hair and the clouds were rolling in. "In 48
hours I'll be out of here and back in Paris. Away from Luis Lopez
Fitzgerald. "Sheridan said as she heard a rumble come from the sky.
Chapter 2:
Luis was in his patrol car driving home after his going over to
Sheridan's cottage in a vain attempt He was thinking of what to say next time
he saw her. But one thing was for sure, he was going to find out why
she treated him with rage and anguish. Then the phone rang. Luis
picked it up and tried to keep his eyes on the road at the same time.
"Oficer Lopez Fitzgerald" Luis answered.
"Luis its Sam, I need you to do me a favor."
"Sure anything Sam, what do you need." Luis asked wondering what on
earth could be wrong with Sam.
"Well Luis, I need you to do my patrol for me. I'm over at the
hospital. Charity is not doing to well."
"Is she going to be alright." Luis asked
"Well I don't know and neither do the doctors."
"That horrible Sam. Is Miguel there with you?"
"Yeah, Luis he's here."
"Could you tell him not to come home too late?"
"Ok Luis, I'll tell him bye."
"Bye Sam" Luis said then hung up the phone. Luis slowed the car and
turned it around and headed for the beach. On the way to the beach all
Luis could think about was Sheridan. He tried to get her out of his
mind, but he just couldn't. Raindrops started to come lightly down
hitting the windshidled of the car. The rain started to come down harder
until all Luis could hear was the pounding of the rain. The sound
reminded him of the sound of the banging plaque hitting the door. Luis then
turned onto the beach and slowly drove down the sandy shore. Somehow
the weather fit his mood. He was was in a rage, a torment, bewildered
and sorry all at once. Luis just wanted to forget his feelings. He just
wanted to clear his mind as he just keep driving.
Sheridan sat on the beach gazing out into the ocean reflecting the past
few days to herself. First everything was so amazing. She feelt like
a giddy teenager experiencing her frist love. Then she found out the
truth. It hit her harder than anything. She was in pain, agony, dread,
and rage. She thought she had found somone genuinely wanting her for
herself, not what for what she could give him. Not for what her family
could get. She thought everything had changed, but instead she found
herself in the same position, broken hearted. Somehow this time was
different from all the other men in her life, she felt alot worse.
Sheridan felt a drop of water fall on the cheek and wiped it away. Sheridan
layed back on the sand and looked up at the black sky. She closed her
eyes and just listen to the waves crashing down hard on the shore. The
rain begain to come down harder but Sheridan just stayed there and let
the water wash away her pain and her feelings. Sheridan suddenly sat
up as she heard somthing coming. She looked over to the right and saw a
light slowly come her way.
Luis keept his eyes on the strech of beach ahead of him. Luis suddenly
stop the car as he saw someone race in front of him and up the beach.
Luis quickly jumped out of his car and ran in persuit of the person in
the rain. The sand and rain made it harder for Luis to run. He saw
the figure fall into the sand. As Luis got closer he pulled out his gun
and said "don't move police!" The figure stayed face down in the sand
and didn't move. As Luis got closer he reilazed who was face down in
the sand. "Sheridan!", Luis asked puzzled, "what are you doing out
here?" Sheridan rolled over as soon as she realized it was Luis' voice.
She got up and pushed her wet hair out of her eyes and began to brush
off the sand. Sheridan then truned away from Luis and started to walk
away without responding to his question. But Luis then unexpectedly
grabbed her arm and pulled her back towerds him. "Sheridan what are you
doing here?" Luis asked again looking strait into her eyes.
"None of your buisness. Now let me go so I canwalk home." Sheridan
said tugging her arm trying to get free from Luis. Luis wouldn't let go
of her and held on to her tighter.
"Its raining, I'm not going to let you walk all the way home in this
weather. I'll give you ride home." Luis said.
"No thanks. I prefer to walk home in this weather thank you very
much." Sheridan tugged again but this time Luis pulled her whole body back
and threw Sheridan over his shoulder.
"What the hell do you think you are doing Luis!" Sheridan yelled
trying to get free of his hold on her by kicking.
"I'm taking you home. I'm not going to let walk home in the rain, let
alone in the dark. You don't want to catch pnuemonia do you?" Luis
asked as he was carrying Sheridan back to his car. "By the way I really
need to talk to you."
"Talk about what. I think I've said enough all ready and I think I
have made myself pretty clear that I don't even want to see you again."
Luis opened up the car door to the back seat and tossed Sheridan in an
closed the door. Sheridan tried to open the door but couldn't. Luis
got inside the car and started the car. Both of them were soaking wet
from the rain.
"There's some towels in the back if you want to dry off." Luis said
pointing to the back of the car. Sheridan turned around and grabbed two
towels. She threw one at Luis and started to dry her face with the
other towel. Luis took off his wet jacket and used the towel she threw at
him to dry off his neck and face.
Luis drove Sheidan home to her cottage. Neither one of them said a
word to the each other. The only sound was that of the rain hitting the
car. When they finally reached Sheridan's cottage Luis truned off the
car and turned back to face Sheridan. She tried to open the door again
but it was still locked.
"Open this door will you." she demanded.
"No" Luis said turning to face Sheridan "not until you answer a few
questions for me first."

Chapter 3:
Luis and Sheridan were starting at each other face to face. "I don't
have anything to say to
you. Now let me out of this car." Sheridan said pulling the handle
trying to open the door.
"No" Luis said "Now can you please tell me why you slapped me. I would
really like to know
what went wrong." Luis looked Sheridan straight into her eyes.
"You don't deserve an answer" Sheridan said coldly. Then Sheridan
stood up and crossed over
the bench into the passenger seat. She then opened the passenger door
and stepped out into
the rainy night. Luis quickly jumped out of his side and ran over to
block Sheridan's way.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her back over to him. They stood out
side in the rain glaring at one other. "Let go of me." Sheridan shouted.
"No I just want to Know what happen that is all.""You know exactly what happen."
"No I don't. I don't have a clue to what happen. Why don't you just
tell me." Luis said
with anger come out. Sheridan tugged away again and freed herself from
his grip."What do you mean you don't know you were there you know what you said
Luis. Don't try to
play me for a fool. I knew what you were up to the whole time I'm not
stupid." Sheridan
turned her back and began to walk to her cottage. Luis then quickly
rushed over to block her way again.
"Luis just quit it I don't even want to see you again. Now just let me
go into my home.
Come on just move its raining." Sheridan pleaded with Luis. Luis
slightly moved but then stopped.
"Why can't you just give me a straight answer Sheridan. Why are you
being like this to me
all I want to know is why you are mad at me and what went wrong before
you leave. Is that
so hard to answer." He moved closer to her but then he reliantly moved
further a way from
Sheridan. She looked at him and into his big brown eyes that wished
she could just lose
herself in. She turned her face away from him and knew that she had
to get a way before
she let all her feelings out at once. She pushed Luis with all her
might. Luis stumbled
back and Sheridan raced to her door and want in. She locked the door
behind her and sat
on the floor with her back against the door. Luis was stun when
Sheridan pushed him out
of the way. He got his balance back and turned around he heard the
door shut and a click
from the door lock. He walked up quickly to the door and banged on the door.
"Sheridan why won't you talk to me?" Luis yelled through the door.
Sheridan sat there
hearing and felling the bangs of the door on her back. Sheridan stared
to cry quietly so
that Luis would not hear her. Luis stopped and turned around.
"Why do I even bother." Luis said to himself. He started for his car
and all he could
think about was Sheridan. He took one more look at the cottage and
stepped into his car
and out of the rain. Sheridan got up when she heard the Luis car start
up. She peered though her the curtains on her window and saw Luis drive away.
"Why do I do this to myself." Sheridan asked her self while she closed
the curtains.
Sheridan walked out of the room of the room and into her bed room. She
took off her wet
clothes and put on her dry sleep wear. Sheridan threw herself onto her
bed and started
rub her face. Sheridan through her hands hard against the bed and
closed her eyes.
~Sheridan's dream~
Sheridan sat up as she heard knocking at the door. She walked all the
way over and opened
the door. Luis was standing there in front of her. "What do you want
now." She said coldly
to him. Luis pushed his way into the cottage and Sheridan stood there
stunted at what he did.
"I came here to tell you something. Something that I have been holding
back for some time now.
Sheridan I have to tell you I'm in love with you. I've been fighting
it for the longest time
now. It's been so hard these last few days . With you saying those
things to me. Saying that
you don't want to see me. I just fell apart in sided when when you
said that to me. It hurt
so much." As Luis said these things to Sheridan She didn't want to
believe them at first but
then she looked up into his eyes. Luis moved closer and put both of
his hands on her hips.
Luis moved one hand up her back as the other went around her waist
bringing here closer.
His hand stopped at the bases of her head. He slowly brought his lips
to meet her's lips
and kiss. Sheridan slowly brought her arms around Luis' neck then
moved one of her hands
though his hair. She brought her hand down the side of his face and
rested it on his cheek
next to his ear. Ring Ring Ring. Sheridan woke up and looked to the
side to see her arlam
go off. She hit and it stoped.
"Why do I do this to myself. Why can't I stop think about Luis. Thank
god I'm laving tonight
for Pais. Then I won't think about him again."

Chapter 4:
Sheridan had just finished packing all her things for Paris when she heard a
knock on the door. "Who is it?" Sheridan yelled from her bedroom. The
front door opened and Ethan walked in.
"It's me Sheridan." Ethan called out. "Just to make your last day here in
Harmony a happy one before you leave tomorrow." Sheridan walked out of her
bedroom and into the livening room and gave Ethan a big huge hello.
"Ethan about that I've made some changes." Sheridan said looking at the floor.
"You're staying." Ethan asked hopefully."No, I'm leaving in one hour."
"What I thought you were leaving tomorrow." Ethan said upset.
"I know Ethan I was about to go and say good bye and tell every one I was
leaving early."
"Sheridan how could you first you leave Harmony in my most desperate hour and
now you can't even spend your last day with me. Why can't you at least stay
for the wedding? I know that I'm just going to mess things and Gwen will be
mad at me." Ethan gave Sheridan a little smile as he said this. Sheridan
let out a small laughed at hearing Ethan's comment.
"No you won't Ethan every thing will be beautiful and I'll come back for the
wedding. I promise you. I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world."
"You promise.""Yes I promise."
"You know Sheridan you could at lest let me take you to the air port."
"No Ethan I hate having people say good bye before take off. I'll get all
teary eyed."
Sheridan hugged Ethan and headed for the door.
"Sheridan" Ethan called "You could at least let me escort you to the main
house before you say good bye to mother and father."
"Sure Ethan I guess you can take me to the main house." Sheridan said
sarcastically to him. She smiled at Ethan as they went out the door and
headed for the main house.
Luis was at home looking over the Martin Fitzgerad imposter case one last
time before he had to turn it in. But he could not concentrate on the case
instead all he could think about was Sheridan. The way she him felt at that
moment was depressed. Every time he would think about her, he felt bad. He
tried not to think about her, but there was no use however much he braied his
head into his work it didn't distracted him enough. The door opened and
Luis' eyes were deverted to the door.
Hank walked in with a smile on his
face. "Hey buddy," Hank said as he closed the door behind himself. "How are
things with you today."
"Oh I'm just going over the Martin Fitzgerad imposter case one more time
before I have to turn it in." Luis said looking down at the file then closed
it and looked up as Hank sat down across from him.
"So have you found out why Sheridan is mad at you?" Hank asked as his smile
got a little bigger.
"No" Luis put his hand to his eyes and started to rub them, "she still won't
tell me why. I don't even know why I try."
"Good that makes my chances with her all the better." Hank said with a sly
smile on his face.
"I don't think so Hank." Luis said.
"Why not Luis it's not like she's getting married tomorrow or any thing."
Hank said jokingly.
"She's leaving for Paris." Luis said, sadden as he thought about what he just
said."What did you say Luis, Sheridan leaving Harmony." Hank yelled as he heard
this."Yha that's what she told me yesterday."
"Why is she leaving." Hank said sill yelling
"I don't know Hank she wouldn't tell me. Luis said staring to get defensive.
"Believe me I tried to find out but she still won't talk strait to me." Hank
quickly pulled out his phone and started to dial Sheridan's number. "Hank
what are you doing?"
"I'm calling Sheridan and finding out why she's leaving.!" Hank said madly.
Hank stood there for a wile then hit the end button on his phone. "She not
there. I'll try her cell phone." Hank dialed Sheridan's cell phone number.
"It's ringing. Hello Sheridan it's me Hank I heard your leaving Harmony, is
it true?" Hank listened to the phone for a wile and Luis just watched him.
The looked down back to the case file, but listen to every word that came to
of Hanks mouth. "So you're leaving now." Luis' head came up as he heard
just how soon Sheridan was leaving. "So can I meet you at the airport?"
Luis got up and headed for the door he was on his way to the airport to get a
straight from Sheridan before she left. Hank put his hand over the receiver
and yelled after Luis. "Where are you going buddy?" Luis didn't answer he
was already gone.

Chapter 5:
Sheridan was sitting at the air port waiting for her plan to be boarded. "How long dose it take for a plane to get ready?" She said out loud to herself looking down at her gold watch. "My plane was suppose to take
off twenty minutes ago." Sheridan was then digging around in her carry on case next to her, then she moved on to her purse on her lap. She really
wasn't looking for anything she just bored. All Sheridan need to keep her mind on something else instead of Luis. Sheridan stopped digging through her
purse for a moment and rubbed her eyes. "Uh, I should of just ordered the Crane jet to take me to Paris instead of relying on a commercial fight. I
would have been well on my way to Paris by now." Sheridan stopped rubbing her eyes and opened them.
Right in front of her she saw a pair of khaki pants staring her in the face. She looked up and saw Luis staring back at her. "I'm glade you didn't" Luis said. The stair was getting intense
quickly. They were both staring at the other deeply. "Sheridan I need to talk to you before you leave. She broke off the stair and looked off to the side. "Well I don't want to talk to you right now. In fact you are the last person I want to talk to." She than looked Luis straight in the eye and said,
"Luis there is nothing you have to say that is worth me listening to." "Sheridan there is only one thing I ask of you. I just want to know what I did so wrong to make you slap me in the face.
I think I have a right to know why you did that. I've never hurt you and if I did I would like to know what
I did to hurt you." "Hurt me no Luis you never hurt me," Sheridan said with great sarcasm. "Then what Sheridan what, what did I do to you." Luis was getting frustrated, "why don't you just tell me and I'll leave you alone hu, because I'm tired of this guessing alright. I don't know what I did to make
you mad at me alright, so if you would just tell me we won't have to go through this all the time. I'm sick of it Sheridan, I truly am." They just looked
at each other in silences. "Flight number one eighty two for Paris is ready to board now." The
flight attendant said to all the passengers.
"Well Sheridan what is it going to be are you going to tell me or not." "Luis I have to go my plane is boarding." Sheridan stood up to make her way
to the door. But Luis gently grabbed her arm. Sheridan's hart began to beat faster as she noticed just how close they were standing together.
"No Sheridan don't leave not until you tell me why." He said gently to her as their eyes met again. They were staring at each other passionately. The
sexual tension was raising as both began to breathe heavily. Luis then stepped back as the two heard a familiar voice from down the hall call out. "Hey Sheridan" it was Hank calling from down the hall. Luis took a few more steps back away from Sheridan, then watched as Hank came down the hall.
Both Sheridan and Luis noticed that Hank had a bag on one shoulder and a piece of paper in the other with Beth right next to him. When Hank reached Sheridan he was surprised to see Luis there. "Hey buddy what are you doing here?" Hank asked very suspicious. As he asked Beth slipped her arms around Luis' and hung on. Luis was uncomfortable as Beth did this and tried gently to slip his arm away from Beth. Sheridan watched Beth with dismay. "Well buddy what are you doing here." Luis had no answer for Hank and was just
about to give him a phony one when Sheridan interrupted. "Hank what are you doing here. I told you over the phone that I didn't want anyone here to say good bye."
Hank's attention was taken away from Luis and went back to Sheridan. "Well Sheridan that's just it I'm not saying good bye, I'm going with you to Paris." "Really" Sheridan said unpleasantly surprised by this turn and put on a
fake smile and tried to acted pleased. "Yeah really after I got off the phone with you and Luis left I got to thinking that why do we have to end our romance when we can just continue it in the city of love. So I called Beth and asked her to pack my things and meet me at the air port while I got here and buy my ticket." Hank had a dumb smile on his face reaching from ear to ear. "This is the last call for flight on eighty two." The fight attendant called over the intercom.
"Come on Sheridan we better go and get our sets before the plan takes off with out us." Hank said trying to rush Sheridan away from Luis. Hank put his arm around Sheridan's shoulder and started to cart her away towards the door. Sheridan turned her head and looked back at Luis. Luis was staring back at Sheridan. Both of them had mirthless face on as Sheridan got
to the door. "Hank you know what I'll be on in just a second I just have to tell Luis something before we leave." "Uh ok Sheridan I'll meet you on the plan. Don't keep me waiting to long now. I'll see you no the plan then." Hank was disappointed that Sheridan wanted to speak with Luis before she left but was happy that they were going to Paris together.
Sheridan turned around and walked over back to
Luis. "Beth could you excuse us for a seconded I need to talk to Luis for a second alone." "Sure Sheridan. Luis I'll be right over there when your done. Then
maybe we can get something to eat." Beth walked over to role of chairs and took a seat and watched intently as Sheridan began to talk to Luis. "Luis before I leave I would like to clear the air with you. Now don't interrupt me while I'm telling you or I just might change my mind and get on that plane and leave." Sheridan took a deep breath and Luis watched
her intently.

Chapter 6:
Beth was sitting at the airport watching Sheridan talk to Luis. "What could she possibly have to say to Luis." Beth said to herself. She watched intently, trying to read Luis' expression as to what Sheridan had to say. Beth was jealous of Sheridan, and she hate Sheridan although she didn't show it. The fact that Luis went out with Sheridan made Beth's hart break.
Before Sheridan came Beth had great hope that Luis would some day marry her in fact it seamed certain to everyone that they would some day get married, but Sheridan changed all that for her. All the sudden Luis was side tracked and hardly talked to Beth any more. "What is she saying to him?" Beth said
as Luis' face changed into a shocked look.
"She better not tell him she's pregnant with his' child." Beth made a annoyed face as she said this. Then she saw Luis talking back to Sheridan. She saw Sheridan start to cry and a smile come on her face. "What the hell are they talking about?" Beth
then watched as Luis brought his hand up to Sheridan's face and wiped away one of her tears. Beth then saw the intense look that Luis and Sheridan were
sharing. A tear came to Beth's eye a she the two of them. Then Beth became weak as Luis pulled Sheridan in to a passionate and steamy kiss. Beth felt her drop about fifty feet with every movement the two made with their hands. Every grope was a slap in Beth's face.
"How could he do this to me? I
have to get Hank." Beth got up and headed to the fight gate to get Hank. "Your boarding pass ma'am." The fight attendant said as she stopped Beth from passing. "Oh I have to get a friend of mine before he leaves." Beth said trying to pass. "Sorry ma'am I can't let you pass without a boarding pass."
"Fine then I'll call his cell phone then." Beth ran to the pay phone a deposited trity five cents. "Come on Hank pick up." She then heard a click. "Hello Hank Bennet." "Hank it's Beth hurry get off the plan Sheridan is not going. Please Hank hurry before it takes off." Beth plead. "Beth what are you talking about of course Sheridan is going to Paris with me She doesn't want to stay in Harmony with Luis.
She hates him." Hank said surprised by the call and of what Beth had to say. "Well guess what she doesn't hate him any more in face she is kissing him right now." Beth said hurt in her voice. "What no she wouldn't be kissing Luis." Hank said in disbelief not
wanting to believe in what her just hear from Beth's mouth. "No Sheridan wouldn't do that to me."
"Yes she would because she is right now. I can see them with my eyes." "Crap ok I'll be right off." Hank hung up the cell phone and garbed his bag
quickly and preceded off the plan in a hurry to see exactly what Beth was talking about. Hank ran up the trinomial and just as he exited he saw Sheridan and Luis finish there kiss. He saw the way they were staring at each other after the kiss and continued to watch as Sheridan and Luis went in to another heavy and deep kiss.
Hank just watched the scene play out. He watch as Luis put his hands all over Sheridan. He saw a hand go from her hair and slide down to her ass. Hank was getting furious, he turned
his head a way, closed his eyes, and tried not to look. But all he could see was Luis groping the woman he wanted and Sheridan groping him back. Hank
quickly walked away before Sheridan or Luis could see him and went to find Beth. Hank looked to his left but didn't see Beth. He then looked to his right and
saw Beth standing on the side slightly hidden. She waved Hank over to where she was standing. Hank walked over to Beth. "Hank what are we going to do?" Beth asked panicked by the though she might lose Luis for good. "At this rate I'll never be with Luis. We have to do something before this goes to far."
"Beth just calm down I'll straighten this whole thing up so don't worry Luis will never be with Sheridan. If Luis is going to be with any one it will be with you ok. I'm not going to let anything or any one stand in the way of me and Sheridan being together. So don't you worry." Hank had a panicked look on his face but it slowly truned into a smile. "Beth I have it. I know what we are going to do to solve this problem."
Luis and Sheridan broke off from their second kiss. Both of their hearts were pounding and they were looking at each other again. "Luis I'm so glad it
wasn't you at the pier that night, but if it wasn't you who could it have been?"
"It probably was your father and Julian, you know they really hate me. I guess the idea that we were getting closer made them furious probably. But that doesn't matter now because everything is out in the open
everything is fixed. So are you still going to go to Paris?" "No why would I want to do that?" Sheridan asked confused. "Because Hank is waiting on there for you." "Luis why would I want to go to Paris with Hank?"
"I don't know. Because you're confusing like that. What I mean is that every time it seems like were connecting you have a date with Hank the next
minute. For instants right after our first date I felt we were really connecting. Then the next day you on a date with Hank. What I want to know
is what is really going on with you and Hank?"
