As much as of a reserved person he prided himself to be, his face turned white. Her voice just echoed in his head again. "The new coroner that is replacing me." He took one step forward and clenched his fists. "so you are leaving?" Julia looked at her longingly and sighed. "I can't work with you like this anymore William." She looked down. She saw how anguish he looked and has never seen him like this no matter how gruesome the crime scene.
Murdoch has always been the calm gentleman detective. She wanted to rub his eyebrow furrows away with her fingers and pulled him close to kiss him senselessly, but she stopped herself. Remember Julia, she told herself, you made a choice and he made his as well. He never tried to win you back. You've been waiting for him all these years. You are a modern woman and a woman of action. You do not become who you are today without fighting for what you want. And Murdoch never fights for you. He just let you go.
She stepped back remembering the hopelessness she felt when they parted. Murdoch took a deep breath to clear his mind. He was trying to control the turmoil of raw emotions he never knew he possessed. He lifted his long and callous fingers and raised her chin gently to force her to look into his dark, hurtful eyes. He whispered, "I will miss this." His thumb gently brushed against her nervous lips. She shuddered against his words and his warm breath that passed her ears. They both felt the strong emotional and passionate spell that they are in until they heard the hurried footsteps from Constable Crabtree "Detective Murdoch, you are needed."
Standing beside the dead man, Murdoch forced his attention to the crime scene. The dead man was lying right beside a ladder that is leaning against a tall building. He looked up and noticed that one of the windows was open. He decided to climb up the ladder to investigate further since he asked Crabtree to secure the perimeter. He easily climbed up to the top of the ladder using his toned arms and legs and tried to look into a window when he heard a faint pop with a bullet coming at him. He immediately reacted by letting go of his hands and fell into the grass. He landed on his butt and immediately felt pain that he is unfamiliar with. He heard Crabtree yelling and rushing towards him.
"George, i don't think I am able to move my body." Murdoch tried to get up but his intense back and ankle pain prevented him.
"Sir, let me call Dr. Ogden and.." George started to ramble before Murdoch sternly cut him off. "No, don't call Julia. Get me another doctor. I will be fine."
"Has Murdoch been trying to avoid me? " Julia thought as she gave her report to Crabtree. When she nonchalantly asked about where the detective is, Crabtree tensed up and muttered that he is busy with another case and quickly excused himself. She left the morgue and went home. It's only been one day without seeing Murdoch and she already started to miss him. She quickly told herself that this is what she wants. She is marrying Darcy, one of the most eligible man in town. The smart, handsome doctor that shares the same upper class background as her. Julia's father and Darcy's parents have known each other for years and were ecstatic when they get engaged.
She sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. Her mind wandered to that night when she and Murdoch almost went all the way. She quickly took off her clothes and corset. All she had left was the light chemise that barely cover her slim athletic figure. She cupped her breasts which was already swollen and her nipples hardened. She sucked both of her index fingers in her mouth and touched the tip of her hardened nipples, imagining Murdoch sucking and licking on them. She gently tugged the nipples and imagining that Murdoch will not stop torturing her breasts until she started moaning. His big strong hands would then go grabbed her perky round butt and squeezing and cupped them. Her hands dropped to her wet mound and began to circle it imagining it to be Murdoch's fingers. Since she was so wet, her slim index finger easily slided in. She remembered how much better it will be if it is Murdoch large, callous finger instead. She slided her finger in and out noticing that her tension building before she realized the phone started ringing.
"Who will be calling at this time? Julia reluctantly rolled over and picked up the phone. It's Tash's voice on another line. "Julia, I heard Murdoch is hurt. Is he okay?" Julia's mind went blank.
