"Unless…"

"Unless what?"

Unless I marry him."


"I don't know Maur, how do I know he won't re-enlist even if I do agree to marry him?" Jane asked Maura. Maura clenched her jaw, there were those words again 'marry him' how can she just sit b and let Jane marry Casey? Who was there to comfort Jane when she was hurting? Maura. Who was there to share in Jane's happiness when they solved a case? Maura. And who did Jane go to when she was pushed away by Casey? Maura!

"I don't know Jane, he seems to like his position in the army and he may want to improve his rank." Maura said, sadness coating her words. "What's wrong Maur?" Jane asked and put her hand on her friend's knee. They were sitting on the couch in Maura's living room.

Everything! Casey proposed to you! I'm in love with my best friend and I don't know if she feels the same. Maura screamed in her head, "Nothing." She said out loud. "Hives, Maura!" Jane said and pointed to her neck. "I don't want you to get hurt, Jane." Maura said and it wasn't a lie.

"I wont get hurt Maur. I promise." Jane said and leaned forward to look Maura in the eyes since Maura had bowed her head. Maura lifted er head and sad hazel eyes looked ino concerned brown ones. Jane didn't know what happened next because one second Maura was looking sadly at Jane and the next Maura's lips crashed against Jane's. For the first few seconds Jane did nothing, then she kissed Maura back. Maura ran her tongue across Jane's lips begging for entrance. Jane put her hands on Maura's soulders and pushed her away roughly. Jane looked at Maura, shocked.

Maura felt tears start to form. Jane stood up abruptly and ran out the house, the door slamming shut after her. It was then that the tears spilled over. Maura bent over and started sobbing softly, cursing herself for being so stupid and possibly ruining her's and Jane's friendship.


Maura woke up the next day and realised she had cried herself to sleep on the couch. Standing up slowly, she walked to the kitchen and started to make herself breakfast and coffee.

Once she had eaten and cleaned up she went upstairs and ran herself a nice, hot bath. She stayed in as long as she dared letting all the tension in her muscles soak out with the water. That however did not help erase or slow down the thoughts rushing through her head.

For the remainder of the day she tried to make the thoughts of Jane and their kiss go away by keeping herself busy. If she wasn't reading a book, she was searching online for a new pair of Manolo Blanik heels, if she wasn't doing that she was meditating and if she wasn't doing any of those three then thoughts of Jane had made themselves known.

At lunch time she made herself a quick and easy salad and wondered why Jane hadn't called or come to see her and then she remembered the previous day and the ache in her heart returned. She ate quickly then proceeded to try and read one of her latest books that she'd bought. Every time she thought that the book had made the thoughts vanish they came flying back and she had to start reading the page again after they disappeared.

After a few hours of this cycle Maura gave up. Clearly these thoughts would not go away by trying to read a book.

She got up from the chair she was sitting on and started to make herself dinner, as it was already dark outside. After a quick dinner of chicken, rice and veggies Maura decided to watch a documentary about Panda Bears on T.V.

When the documentary ended Maura realised it was really late and decided to go to bed. After going through her evening routine she got ready to go to bed. Just as she was climbing into her bed there was a soft but distinct knock at the door. Confused as to who might be knocking on her door at this time of night Maura went downstairs and opened the door.

The person at the door was the last person she would have expected to be knocking on her door at this time of night. So Maura was very surprised when she opened the door and saw that person standing there. After what happened she wouldn't have expected this person to be back at her house.

"Jane?"
