Hannah's eyes snap open. He's not there.

They are outside the white house.

Bang.

Next thing she knows is John is on the floor and there's something stopping her from going to him. That's when her eyes open.

He walks back in the room and takes one look at her. She's shaking like an earthquake.

"Hannah. Talk to me."

"I- yo-"

He sits on next to her in bed and she immediately puts her head on his chest. John just holds her and whispers that they are okay and she's okay. She lifts her head up and looks at him and takes a shaky breath. He wipes her eyes with his thumb and kisses her lips. 

"We were outside The white house. Just talking about something and then you stepped off the step and as soon as you did... There was a loud bang like a gunshot. and you were on the floor and I couldn't do anything because something was holding me back. Then I woke up and you weren't there."

"You thought I was dead."

"I knew it wasn't real but I couldn't figure if it was a dream either. John."

"Yeah."

"Tell me something good."

"You are the only person I know that can look just as beautiful in tears as when you are happy."

"Are you trying to get my heart Director Forstell?"

John chuckles but ignores her question and kisses her again. He places light kisses from her shoulder up to her ear. When he gets to her ear, he moves to her lips and kisses a little harder.

He goes back to her ear and whispers, "I think I already have Agent Wells" before crashing his lips back on hers.

When the make out session ends Hannah rests her head back on his chest. "Who's the person that replaced you?"

"Talking Toby. Why?"

"Never mind."

"Cheating on me before we get together Agent Wells."

"No. John. I was thinking about us We would disclose it."

"That's fine. We can bypass Toby though."

"Who do we talk to then?"

"Kimble Hookstraten and The President. Which one do you want?"

"I'll take Speaker Hookstraten. The president likes us both. I can handle Hookstraten. Why ask?"

"Okay we should go at some point today. But we don't have to be back at work so.....What?"

"John shut up and kiss me."

He does exactly as he's told and after another make out session Hannah lays her head on his chest.

John smiles at how normal that has become for her and messes with her hair.  She softly moans at his contact. He hears her say something"What did you say?"

"I love it when you mess with my hair."
