South Attic, Wednesday Morning

[demonbelthazor]

Cole woke before Phoebe for a change. He quietly got dressed then headed out to the kitchen to make coffee. Eyeing the stove warily, he decided to attempt to make pancakes to surprise Phoebe.

Fifteen minutes later he had some lumpy pancakes on the griddle that were anything but round. And flour all over the counter and himself.

In theory, the pancakes were edible. In theory.

Phoebe giggled. "I'm surprised, love, and I like the surprise."

[demonbelthazor]

"Sit down then, and see if I managed not to poison you," Cole said. He put a plate of the misshapen panckaes and a mug of coffee in front of her as she sat. "Lots of syrup may help," he said ruefully, setting a bottle down on the table as well.

Phoebe tasted the pancakes and then she smiled. "No matter what they look like, they do taste good, love."

[demonbelthazor]

"Good," he said in relief, sitting down to eat some as well.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe ate some more and then put her fork down.

"I need to tell you something..."

She was chewing on her lip.

[demonbelthazor]

"What's wrong?" Cole said, worried.

[sensethevisions]

She shook her head. "Nothing is really wrong... okay, nothing is wrong with me, but I did something last night after my late night Independent Study meeting. I promised you I wouldn't keep things from you." She met his eyes. "IbrokeintoCrowley'soffice."

[demonbelthazor]

"What?" he exclaimed. "Why? Do you know how dangerous that could be?"

[sensethevisions]

"I was looking for something important!" She countered. "But... Cole... Paige was with Crowley. Her hands were all over him."

[demonbelthazor]

"What were you looking for?" Cole asked. "And...Paige? Is she completely out of her mind?"

[sensethevisions]

"I don't know, but she may be," she said sadly, shaking her head. "Has she learned nothing from my mistake... or from her own where others are concerned?"

[demonbelthazor]

"She's an idiot, that's what she is," Cole groaned. "And do we have another round of her boyfriend throwing things down the stairs to look forward to?"

[sensethevisions]

"I don't know what Sawyer might do when he finds out, Cole," she worried her lip. "He's a bit... unstable."

[demonbelthazor]

"Idiot or no, she's your sister," Cole grumbled. "If he tries anything, he'll deal with me."
