Sometimes I Believe

Fiona never had a very good reason to become what she is now. She had a loving family, good grades in school—hell, she was even happy.

Sometimes she believes that it was Claire's death that made her become the quick-tempered firecracker she is. Her death left a whole in her heart, and even worse, she knew it as her fault her sister was gone. It felt almost as if she were the one who had held the gun and pulled the trigger.

Sometimes she believes that if she hadn't spilled cranberry juice on Claire's sweater that her life might be completely different. She dreams about her sister, dreams she is still alive. When she wakes up, she finds tears streaking down her face uncontrollably.

Sometimes she believes she shouldn't have come back to Miami. Michael wasn't going to admit he still wanted her, but she would still try. She did like Miami though. The constant nice weather and hot guys walking around everywhere made things seem a little better. She didn't want a random hot guy though. She wanted Michael.

Sometimes she believes Michael wants her too. Those moments where he can't figure out what to say to her because he's lost his train of thought, whenever they've just finished a particularly tough mission. Whenever she escapes from a fire and he kisses her like he thought she was dead. She doesn't believe it. It's to good to be true, to likely that it will ruin their relationship as assets.

Sometimes she believes love is nothing more than a lie.
