Their day had been hell. Jane was gone. Off the team.
He felt wrong for almost being happy about it.
He knew it was tearing her up inside. This had been her entire life. But, he felt free.
It had been too complicated. When she hadn't shown up at the park that night, he'd made his peace with it. There was too much history and at the same time not enough. She was a victim, a consultant, everything about this situation stayed away. There were some rules that were basic enough that the bureau didn't even think they didn't think they needed to be written. Kurt was pretty sure "do not date a victim, especially while their case is still open *even if she's your missing childhood friend" was one of those.
Even still, he couldn't get her out of his mind. The way her smile could light up the room, the way her lips felt against his, the way he felt when she was around.
He couldn't imagine not seeing her every day, to have him there beside in him the field. But maybe now she could have the normal life she deserved. And maybe, just maybe, he could still be a part of her life.
And so when he saw her in the locker room, that was all he thinking about.
