The sound of the rain hitting the pane of glass woke Lloyd slowly.

Addison was entangled with his body, her arm draped over his abdomen, her leg between his. His heart was thumping a steady beat, and for the first time in over a week he was able to sleep throughout the night. Lloyd's hand came up to wipe the sleep from his eyes, blinking slowly to see his phone flashing with an unknown number, if he answered it he could give away their position, and with the way the world was searching for the girl so soundly asleep on his chest, he wasn't prepared for that. Even if he got a few hours of bliss, before she went back to hating him, it was worth it. Instead of answering the phone, he reached for the walkie on the table beside it. "Teams, get rid of all cars but Tobias', we need to be able to stay at this location for at least another twenty four hours."

Lloyd spread his hand out on Addison's back when she shuffled, settling back against his body comfortably. "And do not contact me today unless someone is dying or our position is compromised, are we clear?"

A multitude of "yes sir," came pouring in from the small speaker.

Lloyd leaned back into the pillows, running his hand over the back of Addison's head, smoothing the stray hairs down and away from her face. He loved her to a point where if she left, there would be no one else that would replace her. She was the sun in his sky, the reason his heart kept beating after so many tragedies back to back, if she asked him to hang the moon he'd try and find a way to do it. There's not much he wouldn't do, even if it was to deliver her back to Six and Claire, so they could be the family Addison's always craved, the family Lloyd never felt worthy of.

A deep inhale of air came from Addison, Lloyd looking down at her with pure love resting in his eyes. Blue eyes fluttering open as she tried to place where she was. She didn't jump, she wasn't startled, the heavy weight of Lloyd's arm on her back comforted her. "Good morning sunshine," Lloyd's voice was soft as he leaned down to press a kiss to her forehead, her eyes fluttering shut once more. "Good morning." She replied, wrapping her arms around his neck to stay closer to him. Lloyd didn't protest, in fact he just placed his hands on her hips to shift her over between his legs, smiling when she nuzzled his chest. "Are we leaving today?"

"No sunshine," Lloyd's hands moved up from her back to card through her hair gently, the golden strands separating between his fingers, "we're going to be here for another twenty four hours, we're not compromised, and if we are we'll move."

Addison leaned up, studying Lloyd's face, "you look like you have something to say."

Lloyd smiled, cupping her cheek gently, his thumb tracing her cheekbone, "I'm just happy you're okay sunshine, I've been so worried about you."

Addison sat up on her knees, the cool motel air raising goosebumps on Lloyd's stomach, his hands resting on the tops of her thighs. "You know, either way I chose I'm losing someone I love," Addison whispered, feeling the tears form behind her eyes, blinking quickly to try and quell them, "If I pick Six I lose you forever," her hand moved up his stomach, resting on his chest, "If I pick you, I lose Six forever. Either way I lose a part of me," Lloyd sat up quickly, wrapping his arms around her to bring her to his chest, rocking them slightly in the bed.

"What if I told you that you could have Six in your life if you stay with me?"

Addison blinked up at Lloyd, his head leaning down to press a kiss to her mouth for the first time in what felt like weeks, both of them sighing at the feeling, "the conditions of his release are that he has to work for the CIA," Addison sighed softly, her forehead pressing against Lloyd's, smiling when his hand curled around the back of her neck, holding her in place. "No, his conditions of release are that he has to work for a government agency, it doesn't specify which government agency."
