The Mentalist: 6x15 Tag

Jane put his hand over Lisbon's as she started the car. His fingers curled into hers, his thumb stroking the back of her hand gently. His gaze was on the brunette beside him, a sad smile on his face. "I really am sorry, you know. No tricks, just a pure, simple apology."

Lisbon turned to him, a small smile on her face. "Now you're being sincere."

Jane shook his head. "And you're right. It was a stupid plan. Rigsby almost died and I almost got my fingers chopped off. Again."

"Rigsby will be fine. A little bruised and battered, but he'll be fine. Ben and Maddie will be fine too. They still have their father," Lisbon reassured him, knowing where his train of thought was going. She squeezed his fingers slightly. Lifting their hands, she brought it close to her face and placed a soft kiss on each of the fingers around hers. "I'm still wondering why so many people are obsessed over your fingers but I'm glad they're still here."

"Yeah, me too. I still need them for you." Jane smirked, his eyebrows shooting upwards suggestively.

Lisbon went crimson from the neck up. She used their entwined hands to smack him on the chest. "Jane!"

He couldn't help but to laugh. "Oh and did I tell you that Rigsby and Van Pelt thought we'd end up together?"

Lisbon's eyebrow rose in curiosity. "Really? They did?"

"Uh huh," Jane nodded as he let go of her hand. His hands went upwards to cup her face. "So did Cho."

"Well, they're not wrong." Lisbon smiled. She hooked her arms behind his neck and pulled him closer to her. "Did you tell them, though?"

"Nope." Jane grinned as he closed the gap between them in a searing kiss.

Fin.
