This is placed after the end of 3.14. between Jane and Lisbon.

She placed her keys in the table and sat in her couch. It was 7 pm and She was back from headquarters. After leaving Trina safe with her aunt, it had been a quiet afternoon, she didn't talk to Jane about what she had done, he was happy all turned out the way he planned. Like always.

She knew it was the right thing to do. It was self-defense, nearly an accident she also knew law could be broken, she did it for Bosco nine years ago. She did it for Jane the time she took him out from jail and she also did it for her team covering up the relationship between Rigsby and Van Pelt. It was a fact Teresa Lisbon always put the ones she cared first, she preferred doing what was best for them than what was best fir her.

The brunette couldn't help being the way she was, she could lose her job, but people that she loved were worth it, especially Jane. And with Trina it was a delicate situation, she had an abusive father just like her, she knew how it felt, feeling helpless, without anyone around to stop your own dad from beating you, from almost killing you. That girl needed Help, Jane was right, she hated when that happened, and usually he was right most of the time.

As she thought about that tears started to fall.

He new she would do the right thing at the end, this was Lisbon, his Lisbon, she was selfless, but he knew things would be difficult for her after this case, that situation gathered bad memories about her childhood. So he was prepared to be there for her, no matter what she said to push him away, she had opened up to him, the way she said she didn't kill her father showed a struggle in her soul, she didn't hate her father he died being an alcoholic, but before that he had been a good person a good dad. Her feelings kept remember the good dad and not the drunken one.

So he decided to drop by her apartment, he had bought ice cream and one of her favorite movies, the holiday, he knew she had this secret thing for Jude law and he loved Kate Winslet so they were even. He knocked twice; he knew her doorbell was out of work.

She opened the door, her eyes were watery, she had been crying, they looked at each other over ten minutes and then without any warning, he hugged her, she let him hug her, she needed it and also she always needed him to tell her everything was going to be alright, she had told him more than once that she didn't need to be saved , but she was obviously lying she needed some sort of comfort every now and then , just like now.

I thought you would like some ice cream and I brought a movie,

he said still hugging her, thank you. She hugged him tighter and only managed to say

"thank you Jane"

When went inside, Jane was took out the ice cream, and Lisbon took out the movie

"Jude law ? really?"

"I know you like him besides, it I a really good movie"

If you say so.., she stayed quiet. She was glad he was with her, but the doubt of doing the right thing still bugged her. He was reading her thoughts immediately.

"You did a good thing today Lisbon, don't doubt it."

"I know is just, I hope she will be fine."

"She will, and I am always right, so lets start watching the movie. "

They sat on the couch and she leaned her head over his shoulder, and in a certain part of the movie he placed his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

By the end of the movie she was fast asleep, he placed a kiss in her forehead and

Whispered, " you have the most beautiful soul I ever met Lisbon" after this he held her tight and fell asleep.
