Piper rushes through the front door of the manor, one son in each arm.
"Leo!" she calls as soon as she's through the door.
Piper reaches the conservatorium and sets the boys down just as Leo enters from the kitchen. "Hi, honey..I'm sorry I've been gone so long but I got held up-"
He smiles at her. "Piper, you just left ten minutes ago."
She blinks and remembers time freezes while at Milliways. "Riight."
Changing the subject, "Um. I need you to watch the boys for awhile. I need to go fight some..I don't even know what they are exactly. Prue was rushing through it so fast that I-"
"Prue?" he gives her a strange look.
"..uh."
..Igottago." She takes a few steps towards the door.
He looks at her, concerned. "Piper? What's going on?
Where are you going? You don't have to fight demons anymore.
And can't it wait? You're exausted, I can feel it. And..there's something else. Something you're not telling me about, isn't there."
She stands there for a moment, then sighs and steps close to him, resting her hand on his cheek. "You're right. I'm not telling you everything. But I will as soon as I get back, I promise." She kisses him lightly. "I'll be back in..
five minutes. To you, anyway."
On her way out the door she calls back, "Oh, and Prue told me to tell you hi!" She catches one glance of his confused look before she shuts the door behind her.
