AN: I'm sorry that I haven't updated in so long! I feel horrible about it. In fact, I had an update for you about five days ago…until I realized that I had written "V." Oh dear me. Anyway this is short and sappy and a little crappy. Sorry about that but I figured you deserved an update. Enjoy!
U: Up
When you hit rock bottom, there is nowhere to go but up. She was at the very top of her field—Director, and yet she had never felt so down. She had to see him every day and every day she felt a little bit worse. The regret started to nag at her more and more.
So she started to flirt with him. Harmless taunts that ultimately left her wanting more. He was such a shameless flirt. It reminded her of the good old days when it was just her and Burly on his team and they had nothing to do but catch criminals and banter.
She could feel herself being sucked in again. She never really had a choice when it came to loving that enigma of a man.
Jennifer Shepard could not say that she believed in soul mates, but something about that way she yearned for him, even after she had written that letter, had left her more convinced in the possibility than anything before.
When you hit the bottom, there is nowhere to go but up. So that is where she went. He let her soar to new heights, and together they built something that was stronger than before.
AN: No one guessed correctly so…I have decided to give you all a second chance. Your final hint (besides no one getting it right before) is: below the Mason-Dixon Line. I would also like to say there are only five letters left and if anyone knows good words that start with 'X' I would be very grateful. As always please leave a review. :)
