Miles watches as Fallon slowly sifts through a rack of dresses. He lets out a big sigh, as he looks over at Sawyer and Harden who look just as bored as him.

"We can leave if you guys want." Fallon offers, taking in all their looks.

"Oh no." They all start saying, shaking their heads viciously. They all just wanted Fallon to be happy, which has been understandably hard for her. They stand as patient as they can before Fallon walks back over.

"I don't think I see anything I like." She concludes after an hour in the store.

They all force smiles onto their faces.

"Let's eat." She suggests causing all of their lips to form smiles. They walk over to the food court.

"I think I want Chipotle." Sawyer voices first.

"Me too." Fallon says agreeing. Their husbands just follow them as they walk over to the Chipotle counter.

"I'll have a chicken burrito bowl." Fallon begins with everyone else ordering after her. When they get to the end, they get an order number after Miles pays.

The turn to the middle of the food court and walk towards an open booth. They talk for a few short minutes before they hear their order number called. Sawyer and Harden get up and grab the tray full of bowls. They all quietly eat their salads.

"Where should we go next?" Fallon asks the three guys.

"How about home." Harden whisper under his breath. Miles laughs.

"How about we go to H and M." She recommends.

"I suppose we could all find something there." Sawyer says. They all reluctantly agree and stand up to throw their trash away. Fallon leads them to the store, having the layout memorized from her many trips with Chloe.

Once they walk in, the couples split up. Harden and Sawyer go to the men's side while Miles follows Fallon to the women. They all find piles of clothes, Miles, Harden, and Sawyer's almost made up of all black.

"What about this?" She asks Miles holding up a top.

"Cute?" He answers almost as a question. Fallon just rolls her eyes and adds it to her pile.

"Can we go to Lululemon?" Fallon asks after they check out. They all groan.

"Maybe I should have brought Chloe." She remarks making all the guys roll their eyes. The guys follow her through the store as he she piles leggings upon leggings into the cart.

She then walks over to the sports bras and adds a few to the cart. Finally satisfied, she turns and walks over to the register. Miles pays before grabbing the bags.

"Can we finally leave?" Harden asks after many hours of shopping.

"Sure." Fallon nods with a smile. They all walk back out to the car, Miles driving with Harden in the passenger seat. Before they can even leave the parking lot, they all hear gunshots ring through the air, followed by glass breaking.

"Where's it coming from?" Miles asks speeding up.

"Behind us." Harden answers.

"Fallon call Luke and tell him what's going on and that we're leading them to the subdivision." He orders and

Fallon nods pulling out her phone. She slumps down, not wanting to get hit by stray bullets. After she tells Luke what's going on, she watches Harden and Sawyer shoot at the car behind them, ducking when the bullets get returned.

She sees the houses come into view then catches at least twenty guards standing at the open gate. Miles blows in through the gate, driving the truck up to the house. She watches as the guards start shooting at the car following them. It then slams into a parked truck.

It's close enough that Fallon can see that the three people in the truck were dead.

"Who are they?" She asks Miles as he ushers her out of the car.

"Stay with them." He tells her referring to Sawyer and Parker who were guiding her into the house. Miles walks up to the car with Harden right behind him.

He opens the door and looks at the driver whose head is pushed into the steering wheel. He looks at the guy's arm that's covered in a tattoo.

"That's the D'Amore mafia sign, right?" Harden asks him, receiving a nod from Miles.

They both walk into the house leaving Luke to take care of the bodies.

"Who were they?" Fallon asks jumping up from the couch.

"They were members of the mafia that kidnapped you. They're mad that I killed their leader." He explains causing Fallon to nod in understanding.

Miles notices how well she's taking this. All of it. Ever since the moment he told her he was in the mafia. He always knew she was different, ever since the moment he first saw her years ago.

He still hadn't told Fallon he had known her before.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" She asks as if she could read his mind.

"Did you know we'd met before the wedding six months ago?" He asks skeptically.

"What? No, we didn't." She answers.

"Yeah, our parents had meetings due to the countries alliance. We used to play together when we were younger. I've always known you were different." He tells her with a smile.

"Why have you never told me?" She asks with wide eyes.

"You forgot. It didn't seem important. Also, I'm not sure if you remember but you've had a lot going on. You just can't seem to catch a break." He shrugs.

She walks over to the bed where he's sitting and wraps her arms around him.

"I swear to god we were meant for each other." She tells him seriously. He smiles and tilts his head up to kiss her.

He'd never met such a strong, brave, and more flexible person in his life. Fallon was always down for everything. When he first thought of stepping down, he was sure she'd protest. She's always ready for a new adventure and that's something he loves about her.

She'd go anywhere with him.

And he with her.
