Lately
It had been happening a lot lately. He had been more considerate, slightly. He had been knocking on my office door instead of barging straight in. He had given up blaming me for everything that went wrong with a case, and he didn't even shout at me when I handed yet another case over to the FBI. I was starting to get worried.
I got more worried though, when his hand brushed mine as he walked past me yesterday. It was a fleeting touch, almost as if it never happened, and that was probably his intention, to make me wonder if he had done it on purpose or not.
I have always gravitated towards him, but lately he has been doing the same, seeking me out in the secret (or not so secret) places that I hide from the world, trying to drag me out, to engage me. I don't know why, but it makes me happy that he is finally showing that he cares. Like he finally ready to reach out of the darkness.
Yesterday, he tucked my hair behind my ear and kissed my cheek. Lately he has been acting strange, but I hope with everything I have that it stays this way.
V!
