He kissed her today.
At the mere thought of his lips touching hers,
she felt her breath catch in her throat,
and her heart escalate.
How was it that he could do this to her?
Invoke these feelings in her?
She hadn't felt anything like this for so long.

In her battle with drug addiction,
she had replaced the morphine with work.
she would work so hard, that when she went home,
she would fall into bed
so exhausted that she would actually sleep.

She absently touched her lips,
as she thought once again of the kiss.
She had held his face in her hands,
and felt the stubble rough against her palms.
She had watched as his eyes reflected back
her desire for him, matching her own in their intensity.

"Michael Scofield, how did you break into my heart"?
She whispered softy, a small smile touching her mouth.
How was it that he had gotten in?

That was a door she had thought,
she would never again leave open...
