FIND MY NEW STORY BLOOD RUNS HOT (NOT A SEQUEL) ON MY PROFILE PAGE! So John left without saying goodbye. And then what happened? This story picks up right where ep 6x16 left off and goes AU like almost immediately, because I started writing it before ep 6x17 even aired. Credit where credit is due: the title belongs to The Script. It just seems to fit so perfectly with this story.

When you kissed me, the world made sense. It may not have meant anything to you, but it meant everything to me.

Marissa won't let Johnny leave without saying goodbye.

"Before John became Alicia's campaign manager, he had never met the governor in person. Still, every time their paths had crossed over the last few months, John had wondered if Florrick remembered the Elfmans from his time in DC. Did it even matter? John probably remembered enough for the both of them."

Forget what I said before...I'm feeling something.
