Giles watched Fred work, his mind wandering to how beautiful she looked, walking around and being smart. When she came over to show him the results, he had to resist the urge and place his hands on her hips. “Well, it’s not Ethan that’s doing it so it has to be someone else,” he said, pulling out his mobile

Fred listened at Rupert made his phone calls. He truly seemed to be in his element, organizing everyone and making sure they knew what to be prepared to do. She smiled at him, trying not to reach out and touch him while he was speaking. Glancing over, she saw Martin looking their way, so she quirked an eyebrow at him as if to say, What? He just grinned at her and turned away as Rupert finished his calls

When he got back to his office, Giles quickly finished up the paperwork that needed to be signed, and sent, that day. He placed them in Andrew’s inbox and cleaned up the clutter on his desk. When Fred knocked, he told her to come in and stood from his desk. “I’m finished here so we should go out to my vehicle and head home before the traffic gets too bad,” he said

Fred looked over at Giles, tightening her hand around his as they drove to the flat. "I know," she replied to his apology. "From the sound of it, I wouldn't want to meet Ethan either - everything that he's done to you
( ... )
The kiss made Giles moan and he placed his hands on her arse to pull her closer. No woman before had made him this randy and he was afraid Fred was going to be the death of him. “Everything. I’ll always be by your side, my love,” he murmured against her lips. He held her tightly against him for a few moments before reluctantly letting her go.
“I’ll go start supper,” Giles said before bending over to pick the day’s letters from the floor. He shuffled through them and held one out for Fred. “Looks like you have a post from your parents.” When Fred took it from his hand, Giles placed the rest of them on the hallway table before going upstairs to change out of his suit and into a pair of jeans and jumper.
When he got to the kitchen, he looked in the icebox and tried to decide what to make. Giles figured something light so he pulled out the fixings for a salad, along with a few thawed chicken breasts. He prepared the chicken and placed it in the oven before he started to cut up a tomato as he hummed to himself.
Fred smiled as she took the small packet from Giles' hand and opened it after looking at the postmark. Leave it to her mother to write to her before she had even left the country. There was letter was telling her that her mother and father had talked it over and would be using their Hawaii fund for their tickets to England because we can go to Hawaii any year, but our daughter is only going to get married once.
There was also something in there that her mother wanted her to have, according to the letter, so Fred upended the envelope over her hand. A small box fell out and inside was a locket along with a note - To put your and Rupert's pictures in, to replace the locket you lost. Fred smiled and put the locket on before hurrying upstairs. The apple locket she had worn for so long had been taken from her on Pylea, but this...this would mean so much more

“Chicken and salad,” Giles told her. “I figured we should eat something light since we might be doing a lot of running.” He put out a few carrots and gave Fred a knife. “If you could cut those up, I would love you forever. Well, all right, I’ll love you forever anyway but it would be nice if you could cut them up for me.”
He picked up a green pepper and took it to the sink to wash. Then he dried it off before bringing it back to the counter. “How did you like your first day?” he asked as he started to cut the pepper into thin strips. When he came to the seeds, he cleaned them out before he started to cut the pepper again. “Are you happy with everything there? Is there anything you need?”
When he finished with the pepper, he placed it in the salad bowl and went to the oven to check the chicken. “Are you happy here?” he quietly asked as he closed the oven door. “New country and living arrangements, you know.”
Fred grinned at him as she took the knife and carefully peeled the carrots before beginning to slice them. "It went well, I think. Everything is worked out with Martin now, and everyone else is working on their projects. I really love being in a lab again." She stopped cutting for a moment and raised her eyebrows as she looked over at the man she loved. "And I really like my boss. He's a good man."
She finished cutting the carrots as he checked the chicken, putting it into the salad bowl and then picking up a towel to wipe her hands. When he asked her whether she was happy there, she put it back down and walked over to him, cupping her hands to his face.
"I love being here with you," she told him softly. "You...you've made me the happiest I've been in a long, long time. You've given me so much, and I feel like I've known you forever, and we could be anywhere and it wouldn't matter, as long as I'm with you. England is wonderful, and you're wonderful. I love you."
