A/N: I just rewatched Sleight of Hand, and this came to me for an eppy-tag. It's kinda long. Read and review, please. And OMG, it's almost over! I've been thinking about doing another one. Any thoughts on what pairing/show I should write it for? Or if I should write it at all?
Yell
She'd asked her parents not to come to court, because she hadn't wanted to break down in front of them. She was worried that the love and support they offered would be her undoing on the stand.
Funny, but his did the opposite.
They'd made it out to the car she was using and she'd driven them somewhere where they could sit on the hood and look at a wheat field (because it was calming, and because he needed the proper appreciation for it before they went back to the city).
"You can yell at me now if you'd like."
He looked at her quizzically. "Why would I yell at you, Montana?"
"I was so horrible to you." She turned sad eyes on him, eyes that made him want to kiss her until she smiled again.
"Hey, come here." He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into the side of his body. "Just tell me one thing. When did you find out that they'd arrested the bastard?"
"The day I was supposed to meet you for dinner." She closed her eyes against the memory.
"See? I have no need to yell. I mean, yeah, I wish you'd let me in on this a little sooner, but I understand why you didn't. Don't worry about it." He kissed the top of her head.
"Danny?"
"Yeah, Linds?"
"Can we try your... spending time together and having a few laughs idea?"
She sounded so tentative his heart melted all over again. He slid both arms firmly around her waist and shifted her so she was standing right in front of him. "Now, shhh. I'm try to watch the wheat."
A/N: Next word will be Zero. Yes, you all think it should be zoo, but look at the title, hmm?
