I don't want to cry.

I don't want to be the stereotypical weak, emotional woman.

I definitely don't want to need comforting from a man.

Yet here I am, dampening my FBI partner's shirt.

Something about the way he looked at me, touched me, his panicked concern, just broke down my walls, already fragile from what had just transpired.

I shattered. Fell into his arms.

Sobbing, I hate myself for being everything I wanted not to be. And I hate him for bringing it out of me.

And those feelings only bring more tears. Where do we go from here?
