Sage sat in her purple 1994 Toyota Supra while watching Dom working on his charger in the garage, it was a few hours later since the whole Braga occurrence


Gisele had dropped Dom off at the Torreto house, afterward it was planned for the two woman to pay one last visit to Braga's garage, and so they did, both woman grabbing the keys to random vehicles before splitting up at least for now


And that's how Sage got here, parked a about two houses down from the Torreto's, needing to talk to Dominic even if it was for the last time in a while or maybe forever


Sage was about to get out of the vehicle but saw Brian appear out of what looked like nowhere, walking up the driveway and into the garage where Dom was, the woman sighing in frustration it was like all odds were against her, the universe trying to tell her to just drive away and never come back again


After a few minutes a familiar face was spotted by Sage, Mia had arrived with a bag of groceries in her arms but stopping her way into the house as she looked into the garage, seeing Brian and Dom work on the machine together, the sight made her quickly pace into the house, Brian took sight of the woman as well, seconds later running out of the garage and after Mia


The opportunity was taken by Sage in a split second, making her climb out of the Toyota and swiftly walk towards the Torreto house, her pace slowly died down as she reached the entrance of the garage


"Imagine them in another life as a totally normal couple... with two kids and the ability to be in love with no distractions or fears" Sage spoke softly as she glanced towards the kitchen window


Dom slowly turned faced to Sage, him also glancing at the kitchen window before turning back with a faint smile on his face "They both deserve that... normal lives"


Sage nodded in agreement as her eyes lingered on the charger behind Dom "You spying on me now?" The question made Sage's eyes flicker to Dom, a confused yet surprised look shown across the woman's face at first


"You didn't think I would notice a shocking purple car in a street full of black and white ones?" Dom asked with a sarcastic grin across his face as he pointed to the purple Toyota down the street


Sage chuckled as she shook her head in defense "Well, I wasn't spying... I just wanted to come and talk to you before I leave" The woman leaned on the garage door while she spoke, crossing her arms while she was at it


"Leave?" Dom asked with raised eyebrows his attention now being focused on the woman in front of him


"Yeah, there's nothing here for me anymore Dominic, no way I could go back and look Braga in the eye ever again," The certainty in the woman's face was evident as she continued speaking "That's how my life is, I'm always on the move, I've been under Braga's spell for five years now and I think it's time for me to snap out of it, so that's exactly what I'm doing"


There was a brief moment of silence, Dom processing Sage's words before nodding in understanding than speaking again "Where are you going to?"


"I don't really know yet, just someplace with no extradition" Sage faintly smiled as she answered the question


"Look Dom, I know I should've told you about the Braga thing-" The woman started explaining but Dom interrupted the woman instead "It's fine Sage, don't stress it"


Sage sighed heavily as she stepped closer to the charger, her hands lingering on every mechanical part of the vehicle "You and Brian are going to go find Fenix and Braga aren't you?"


"Have too" Dom retorted making Sage nod in understanding "You have any idea where he might be?" The question made Sage lock eyes with Dom, the two stared into each other's eyes for a good minute


"He's in Mexico, I already tracked him down there, but I'll have to get to Gisele in order to pinpoint the location, hour and the company he brings with him" The woman spoke and Dom considered her words


"I would say going down there is suicide, which it is, but knowing you that isn't going to stop you or Brian" Deeply chuckling at Sage's totally true words, Dom knew nothing was going to stop him and so did Sage


"Just be careful Dominic" Sage cupped Dom's cheek in her hand with a weak smile, the man leaning into her touch also returning the smile


A kiss was placed on Dom's cheek by Sage, even after she pulled away the outline of her plump lips lingered on his cheek


Neither of them being able to physically say the word 'goodbye' instead Sage slowly walked down the driveway, taking one last glance at the man she was secretly in love with before getting into the car and driving off into the night


Dom being left with even more to think about than he previously had.
