She stayed angry for the next few days, avoiding all contact with him. Then one night she was working late, alone in her office. The silence forced her mind to wander to Woody. She suddenly realized that he had been right; everything he said had been true. How could she have acted that way with Woody? It's Woody; she thought she was comfortable with him. They'd been friends for a long time, why would she act weird being with him? Maybe that was the problem she thought. They were friends, best friends actually and she didn't want to admit they were a couple or let him get too close because then she'd have to acknowledge that they might break up, that she would lose him. Haven't I already lost him though? I have to fix it. She wanted to rush over to him and tell him how she felt but then decided she should sleep on it.

The next night the whole gang went out for a drink. She had left Woody a message begging him to come along so they could talk, she figured he was probably screening his calls, avoiding her. That thought pained her.

So she decided to tell her friends about her and Woody, how she had already started sabotaging their relationship. Woody got there, Jordan rushed over to him. He started to speak but Jordan quieted him by putting her fingers over his mouth.

"I want another chance," she said staring up into his deep blue eyes.

He just stared back at her without answering, no discernable expression on his face.

"Please" she whispered, thinking that he might actually say no, feeling that hurt in the pit of her stomach that spread up into her chest quickly. She felt this feeling often when thinking of her mother, but had never felt it over a man.

Woody glanced around the bar, seeing her dad and all of her friends there.

"Prove you're worth another chance"

She nodded and leaned up and kissed him in front of everyone. The whole bar erupted in whistling and cheering. They both laughed. They hung out with their friends and Max and celebrated that they were now officially a couple. Max even expressed his approval, Woody expected he would but he was a cop and Jordan's father so he was a little worried about his reaction. He was pleased that he approved, so was Jordan.

"Why don't you stay with me tonight?" Jordan asked putting her arms around him.

He raised his eyebrows in amazement. "You sure?"

"Positive, I've never been more sure of anything" she assured him.

They went back to her place and made love, then they cuddled and held each other tight all night long. Woody drifted off to sleep as Jordan caressed his chest tenderly.

"Woody? She said looking up at him.

"Hmmm?" he mumbled very sleepily. Jordan figured he was he was pretty much asleep; on hi sway to dreaming blissfully of her. She mused. "I think I'm in love with you Woodrow Hoyt," she whispered.

He woke her up the next morning with tender kisses on her cheeks.

She smiled happily at him.

"I love you too," he whispered in her ear. She hugged him close, not at all surprised or freaked out by his revelation. All she felt was happy and loved.
