Sometimes
Sometimes, when no one else was looking, she watched him.
She knew she wasn't supposed to, she was seeing Danny after all.
And besides, she barely knew Flack. When she first moved here, it took her three weeks before she even found out his first name was Don.
But sometimes, as much as she tried to fight it, she couldn't help it.
Sometimes, (and she'd never admit this to anyone) she felt uncomfortable around Danny… Sometimes she felt like she wasn't enough to keep his wondering eye at bay.
She thought maybe with Flack, he'd only look at her.
She thought maybe she'd be more comfortable with Flack.
But she never told him.
Why bother?
It wouldn't make a difference, Danny was his best friend and he'd never do that to him.
It made her want him all the more.
But she kept it to herself.
She never told anyone.
He wasn't interested in her anyways.
He was always completely professional with her.
He always called her "Detective Monroe" or just "Monroe."
Once, he slipped and called her Linds. She secretly loved it.
But no matter, he never let any of his personal feelings show.
And that was OK.
Because she was with Danny.
She loved Danny.
Danny needed her.
Didn't he?
Yet another drabble…
