Jane and Maura, aren't together.
Both had married, their respective partners - Jane with Casey, Maura with Ian - but they stay close together, best friends, and neighbours.
Some nights they will meet for drinks, for gossip, as they will tell their husbands.
In truth - they just wanted moments together.
Together, but not together; they stayed that way - together, but not together.
Jane would walk Maura back to her house, before she headed towards her own; they were each others' homes.
At the doorway, they would stand.
Mirroring that moment where they both had known so many years ago - Maura in, Jane out, together but with all the elements in between.
"You still look like you're ready for a photo shoot," Jane would say.
"If you ever need to just talk, I'm here," Maura would say.
"I know," they will both conclude.
"Goodnight Maura."
"Goodnight Jane."
"See you tomorrow," they will whisper as their cheeks graze past each others'.
A/N: Hi there, thank you, for the time~
I wrote this along with the happier version of them - because my mind didn't stay on one path - but, we can't have everything so, this is the bittersweet version I suppose. Since my intent was to use a common quote, I kept them both.
Thank you, for the time=)
