When they arrive back at the office, Tony asks Ziva if she wants to hang out. "I am sorry Tony but it is late and I am tired and we have to work again tomorrow." The real reason why Ziva didn't want to hang out together was because she had to think about those three words Tony had said. She also loved him, but she was afraid of what Gibbs might think about it. If it was going to be a real relationship they would break rule 12. "Ziva, Tony and Tim tomorrow you have the day off." "Now we can watch a movie." Ziva had no reason to say 'no' now. "Oke Tony, I will make us dinner and then you can come with some movies."

While Ziva is making dinner someone knocks on the door, that must be Tony. She opens the door to see Tony standing there with his hands full of movies. "Hi, did you bring some nice movies?" "Yes, I brought 10 movies with me." "What are you cooking, it smells delicious." "Thankyou, it is Italian. It is almost finished, you can take a seat on the couch and put a movie in."

A little while later Ziva comes in with two plates of food. She takes a seat next to Tony on the couch and together they eat their dinner. Tony starts the movie immediately after Ziva sits down. It is a romantic comedy. When the film ends Ziva brings the plates back to the kitchen. Tony stays on the couch and starts thinking about Ziva: 'I have known Ziva for 8 years now, and the first time I saw her I immediately fell in love with her. But al these years I didn't tell her, because of two things: 1. I am afraid she doesn't love me back and 2. if we do get together Gibbs will probably freak out, because we will break rule 12.' Meanwhile Ziva stands in the kitchen and says to herself: "you have to tell him you love him Ziva. If Gibbs is going to be mad, it does not matter. Tony was right a few years ago. The heart wants what it wants." Ziva walks back to Tony and she takes her place on the couch again. "Tony wait, I have to tell you something before you put the next dvd in." There is a moment of silence when Tony breaks it. "What do you need to tell me Ziva?" Ziva gathers the courage to tell him and starts answering. "Tony I heard what you whispered today in my ear, when the bomb exploded.. And you could have just told me. But the first moment I saw you. I..I love you too Tony"
