A/N: This was un-beta'd so all mistakes and whatnot are mine. I woke up in the middle of the night and this needed to be written down. There's no dialogue; it's a little angsty, maybe a bit depressing and disjointed but its supposed to be like that, so I hope you like! Feel free to leave a comment if you read, concrit is welcome.

He knows that she doesn't wear the ring at work; it hangs from a chain around her neck, hiding under her shirt.

He knows that she only pretends to hate it when he sends flowers to her office because she always comes home with a smile and he can still smell the lilies.

He knows that it doesn't take as long to make her come after a fight as it would on any other day.
He knows that she visits Mac whenever she's in San Diego and that Mac hasn't coloured her hair since she was 18.
He knows that when Weevil told her he was going to open a tattoo shop, she made him promise she would be his first; she got a lily on her left hip.
He knows that she's afraid to say yes because yes means forever and she's not ready for forever yet.
