"It's not fair."

Pepper stood there and looked at her feet for a few long minutes. She pondered the situation, and wondered why Tony was so affected by what Harvey told him. If he truly loved her, he shouldn't have acted that way.

After another few minutes she grabbed the keys from the nearest desk and got inside of her Audi, which was parked in Tony's garage. She headed for the highway and turned on her CD player.

Meanwhile, Tony was in his shower, enjoying the splash of warm water over his tired body. He sighed when he reached for the soap and swore when it slid out of his palm. He was overwhelmed.

"I don't know why this is so hard..." He muttered quietly. "I mean, I'm sorry, but I think Pepper really loves me and wants to be with me." He sighed again.

"His loss is definitely my gain, but why do I feel like my heart has just been ripped out?"

He couldn't find satisfaction in asking questions which couldn't be answered back, so he turned off the water and grabbed a crimson towel from the towel rack.

"I'm going to call her when I won't feel guilty anymore." With that said, he went to trim his goatee.

Pepper glanced at her phone's time and realized it was later than she had expected. She dropped by Target on her way home from Tony's, and did some shopping to alleviate her sad mood. The redhead placed her bags into the car's trunk and got in the car. She yawned a little in her fist and shook her head.

The moon was shining strangely when she got on the highway again. Her clock read 23:01, as she head home thinking if she had done right by the divorce.

Was it or wasn't it?

It was 3 am when she got the call.

Tony called.

He did.

He apologized for the whole thing and said he couldn't sleep without her there.
She smiled and said she'll be there soon.

As soon as she reached he was there standing.

Hands in his pockets.

There standing with a smile just reserved for her.

As soon as she came close he pulled her into a hug.

She hugged him back with the same.

And then she knew.

This is was all real and she had done right.

As long as she had Tony.

Everything and anything was possible.

Because he is there by her side.

And this is was, forever. Only theirs. He was only hers and she was only his.

Always and Forever.
