There are moments in every friendship and relationship where you realize that person really does care. Sometimes it's a thought, sometimes it's an action, and sometimes it's simply words. All of these things make you understand the true value of having that person. Saying 'thank you' just doesn't seem like enough.

Jane's POV
The most honest, get-hives-if-you-tell-a-lie person I know just did something for me. Something that I never thought someone with her morals would ever do. It really was not that big of a deal, but for her it was huge. I was actually thinking… 'great she is going to faint at any moment.'
As we are getting ready to step on the elevator after seeing my most horrific enemy Hoyt, Maura reaches in the top of her shirt and pulls out a vile of his blood. I can feel my eyes growing wide trying to figure out what in the world she is up to.
She smiles up at me as she explains she took the vile so she could test for cells to see if he really was as sick as he was letting on. I have to admit I was relieved she had done that so we didn't have to wait on the warrant. The prison was not being helpful in this investigation at all.
But I was also proud and touched that my friend, the good Dr. Isles, would risk getting caught just to check on something for me. My face lifts immediately and a smile appears for the first time all day. I point out that she took this blood without permission, and that is when the realization hits her that it was indeed stealing.
The funny thing is that she didn't seem to care. She explains to me that she wasn't thinking. She knew how terrified I was at seeing him again, and all she could think about was helping me. I let her continue to ramble and almost start to freak out some before I hold up my hand to stop her continuous explanations. Truth is I didn't need any reasons for what she did; I would of done the same thing for her without question.
Maura looks at me with wide eyes as I put my hand on her wrist and rub a small circle with my thumb.
"Thank you," I softly say to her.
She tilts her head slightly and smiles at me. I close the distance between us and give her a soft yet strong hug because 'thank you' just didn't seem like enough.
