A/N: So this is super short, and I'm a little rusty... But I always thought this song felt more like a duet.


The world fell silent as he looked at her.

Her name had fallen from his mouth and after all these years it felt like the sweetest sound he knew.

She stood, motionless, beneath the shade of the tree. Her hair, her face, her body… hadn't changed.

But her eyes…

He had seen in them made things – ice, anger, hurt, tenderness, lust, amusement.

He had never seen her timid. Never shy. He found it unnerving.

So unlike her.

He blinked – once, twice – closed his jaw shut and smiled. Of all the ghosts his past had to offer, this one was most welcome. He lifted his hand, and beckoned with his shoulder.

She hesitated – of course she hesitated. He winced - he remembered his parting words too.

Not my finest moment.

But she stepped off the curb, hand deep in her pockets, scarf shrugged up against the cool breeze.

"DiNozzo."
