I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk, you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is
We should be together
~ Taylor Swift, Jump Then Fall ~
Jane was in the morgue listening to Maura talk, or trying to listen to Maura talk. The day was almost over, and Jane had come down to ask Maura about a recent case. There were no leads and so far no forensic evidence. She had hoped that the brilliant medical examiner had found something, anything, that would be helpful. She also just wanted to see her.
Maura had discovered that the victim had suffered from a congenital disorder that may narrow the population down enough to garner an identification, which might lead them to a suspect. But Jane wasn't listening. She heard the words that came out of Maura's mouth, but she wasn't paying attention to the words. No, she was listening to the sound of Maura's voice and staring at Maura's lips.
She didn't know when it happened exactly, but over the past recent months she found that all she ever thought about was Maura. Not only that, but she found that she was attracted to Maura, her best friend. She wrestled to come to terms with her feelings, and whether or not to act on them. Eventually she decided that she would just pine for Maura since the doctor told her that she wasn't her type anyway.
So that's what Jane was doing now. She was watching Maura, loving Maura, and Maura didn't know.
Author's Note: This probably sucks, terribly. Sorry. Also, I shall be continuing to post unrelated "drabbles" set to songs, mostly by Taylor Swift.
