Author Note: This is the end (unless something else comes to me) of this little saga. To all who reviewed and commented, I love you all. As for MY inspiration for this pair, it's of course the lovely pair of Jennifer Jareau and David Rossi. But I see also other pairings (Morgan/Garcia, Prentiss/Hotchner, as examples) that you all have noted as well. Thanks for keeping my journey going!
Did I Never?
Why does it seem like only a short time since I admitted to myself how I felt about him? Wondering if he could ever feel the same about me?
I am standing face-to-face with the man I love, waiting for him to let me tell him how very much he means to me. I feel the tears running down my cheeks as he tells me of how he loves me and I know that I will never regret loving him in return. As I said before, I'm done settling for second best.
And now he's smiling too.
