Jane finds Maura in the kitchen.
"Hey, what you doing in here?."
Maura opens the fridge filling up her empty glass with some Zinfandel.
"You OK?" asks Jane
Maura nods trying to step past Jane, but Jane steps in her way.
"Couldn't help but notice, someone was missing from that goodbye video."
Maura puts her glass on the counter.
"Is that a question compare credit cards why is he messing with my life? replies Maura
Jane looks at her.
"What?" replies Maura
"Alright, I'll start...Jane, how can you leave."
Maura wipes a tear.
"I know it's selfish of me...I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry about."
"You wouldn't be saying that if you knew the truth." mumbles Maura
"What?"
"Nothing." replies Maura
Maura tries to step past again.
"You can't just say that, and leave."
"You don't want to know." replies Maura
Jane takes Maura's hand.
"I do, I really do."
Maura pulls her hand away.
"I can't Jane."
Jane takes Maura's hand again.
"Whatever it is, you can tell me."
"You're leaving in 4 days does it matter."
"You tell me." replies Jane
Maura downs the glass of wine putting it on the counter.
"I can't."
"Ok...you don't have to tell me." replies Jane
Jane turns to the door.
"I love you."
Jane turns back around.
"What?"
"I may...a little bit, have feelings...for you."
"You love me?"
"Yes." replies Maura
"Just, so I'm clear...we're not talking about the 'you're like my sister' love, are we."
Maura shakes her head.
"You're not alone."
"Oh really you know someone who's in love with their best friend?" replies Maura
Jane nods her head.
"Who?"
"Me." replies Jane
"What?"
"I love you, too."
"Are you serious?" replies Maura
Jane leans forward capturing Maura's lips.
Maura's eyes close as Jane tongue enters Maura's mouth.
They pull away a minute later.
"Wow."
Maura bites her bottom lip.
"You like me?"
Jane takes Maura's hand.
"So much." replies Jane
Maura smiles, Jane smiles back.
"We should, get back to the party, people will be wondering where we are."
"Right." replies Jane
Maura kisses Jane quickly and leaves the kitchen.
Meanwhile Nina walks back to Frankie.
"Are the beers finished?"
Nina shrugs.
"I'm just gonna wait for bit."
"What's wrong?" asks Frankie
"I think...I just saw something I wasn't suppose to." replies Nina
"When, just now?."
Maura walks outside followed seconds later by Jane.
"No, not just now."
Frankie looks at her.
2 hours later.
"Finally alone."
"Yea this place is a mess." replies Maura
Jane grabs Maura's hand pulling her into a kiss.
She pulls away seconds later.
"You're right this place is a mess."
Maura holds out a hand.
"Don't you want to clean up first?"
"No I do not." replies Maura
An hour later.
Jane interlinks her hands in Maura brings their hands up to her mouth and kisses Maura's hand.
"I love you."
"I love you too." replies Maura
Maura leans forward, kissing Jane.
"I guess I should call Agent Davis and tell him I'm not taking the job."
"I still think you should take it." says Maura
"I don't believe in long distance."
"Who said anything about long distance." replies Maura
"Ok...were you thinking this was a one off, because when I said I love you, meant it."
"I know it's a bit soon in the relationship, we haven't told you're family yet."
"Maura, you're doing that thing again." replies Jane
"How would you feel about, me coming with you."
Jane looks at Maura.
"It's a silly idea, forget I said..."
Maura is cut off by Jane's lips on hers.
"Was that a yes, I can't tell."
Jane kisses Maura again.
"Are we really going to do this?"
"You are all I've ever wanted." replies Jane
2 days later.
Frankie, Angela and Nina are having dinner at Jane's place
"Jane you're leaving in 2 days and you're only half way packed.
"Yea, that's what I wanted to talk to you about...my plans have changed."
"You're not moving anymore."
"No I am just not in 2 days, and...with someone."
"I didn't know you were seeing someone." replies Angela
Nina and Frankie smile.
"You two know don't you."
"I saw you two kissing the night of the party." Nina replies
"And you told Frankie."
"No, I wouldn't." replies Nina
"Wait he was at the party."
"Yes...and I'm pretty sure that you're gonna love her."
"Her?"
"Yes." replies Jane
"What's her name?."
"Maura." answers Jane
Angela looks over at Maura.
Maura nods.
"Well, it's about time you two got you're act together.
Jane kisses Maura on the lips.
"Just out of curiosity how did you know?" Jane asks Frankie
"I...forgot my phone, heard some noises, sprinted out of there faster than Usain Bolt."
"Oops."
"No one is faster the Usain Bolt." replies Maura
Everyone looks at her.
"What?"
"That's why I love you." replies Jane
Maura smiles.
"I love you too."
"So now I lose both of my daughters."
"Ma...you're not losing us. it's only 483.6 miles away."
"She told you that right." ask Frankie
"Ever heard of Google."
"You told her that, didn't you."
Maura nods.
"I guess I'll have to start looking for a new place."
"Don't worry I'm signing the house over to you."
"What...Maura you can't do that." replies Angela
"That's what I said, but she's fond of you apparently." replies Jane
