Maura POV

I can't do it anymore. I can't sit here and hide my feelings anymore. My feelings for Jane. She's sitting right next to me, rambling about last night's Red Sox game, but I'm not listening. I try to listen, but I just get distracted. By her voice. Her hair. Her body. I can't keep doing this to myself.

"I'm in love." I blurt, unable to stop myself. Jane looks at me, no longer talking about the game. She puts her coffee cup down,

"Okay...um...with who?" I feel my heart begin to race.

'Just calm down. Heart palpitations are normal when you're nervous, due to the surges of adrenaline...' I calm myself by thinking about things I know.

I know how the body works. I know how adrenaline works. What I don't know is how Jane is going to react. And I know I can't lie now, I already feel hives coming. I take a long slow breath,

"Jane, this is going to sound odd-"

"I can't tell where this is headed and that scares me." She interrupts. I ignore her comment,

"-but I need you to close your eyes..." Her eyes widen,

"No, no way! I swear, if you put worms or something in my hands-"

"I'm not gonna- why would I put worms in your hands?" She looks like she's answer but instead she says,

"Never mind. Let's just get this over with." She closes her eyes and holds out her hands.

"You can put your hands down, Jane." She sets them in her lap.

'Breathe. Just breath...' I take another long, slow breath.

"I don't have all day Mau-" I feel my body move forward. I close my eyes and silence Jane by pressing my lips against hers.
