So Woody went off to L.A. He was trying to deny his feelings but he
couldn't help missing Jordan and feeling homesick. He didn't really fit it
with his new co-workers and any of the people in L.A. It was a whole new
world and he didn't like it.
He cursed himself for thinking about Jordan constantly. Stop it, she's all the way across the country and she doesn't love me, she had her chance and didn't ask me to stay, it's over and done with. He argued to himself.
Back in Boston, Jordan was finally beginning to realize what Woody meant to her. He had never been "just a friend" She was stuck working with a new homicide detective whom she didn't particularly like and made no effort to conceal her dislike. He had just come into her office without calling, much less knocking with questions about his case.
She was obviously annoyed. "I don't have time to baby-sit you, why don't you try reading my report? You do know how to read don't you?"
"Wow, the guys told me you were a real bitch but this is ridiculous," he hissed.
Jordan started to open her mouth to respond then stopped short when he noticed Garrett standing in the doorway, having overheard the entire argument.
"Detective, will you excuse us for a few minutes please?"
" I assure you when you return you'll find Dr. Cavanaugh completely cooperative to your investigation and more than willing to any questions you might have. Isn't that right Jordan?" he asked coolly.
She bit her lip then muttered through a forced smile. "Yes, I 'd be happy to answer your questions.even though it's already written right there in my report" she smirked.
Garret cut his eyes at her as the detective left them alone to talk.
"Look Garrett I'm sorry. I'll try to be civil to him, he just gets on my nerves"
Garrett took a seat on the couch and looked at her sympathetically.
"It's not his fault you know?"
"What that he's a moron?" she countered.
"No, smart ass, that he's not Woody"
Jordan rolled her eyes at this subject. "That has nothing to do with this, you know me I don't like a lot of people and he just happens to be part of that group. I don't need a specific reason to dislike someone"
"Who are you kidding Jordan? Since he's been gone your work is slipping and you're always in a foul mood"
"As opposed to my usual sunny disposition?, come on Garrett" She mocked.
"Okay Jordan, you can put on this facade all you want but you're not fooling anybody. I'm just letting you know I'm here to talk if you want," He said starting to leave.
"Hey Garrett?"
He turned back towards her. "Thanks, really" she said smiling her appreciation at him.
Later that night she went to Garrett's office. "Hey, working late?" she asked from the doorway.
"Yeah, just wrapping up actually, how about you?"
"Yeah well I was catching up on my work, boss man says I've been slacking" He grinned at her witty remark. "Why don't you come in? Let's talk"
She came in and sat down on his couch, he joined her there.
"So how are things going with you and Lily?" she asked, trying to break the ice.
"It's good, everything's fine" he answered, noting her lack of interest.
"That's good," she said looking down, obviously thinking about something else.
"So what are you going to do?" Garrett asked.
She just shook her head and wiped away a solitary tear.
"I figure you've got two choices here. You can either stay here and be miserable or you can get off your ass and do something about it. I've never know you to be hesitant to take action either"
She smiled at that. "So do you think I could get some time off?"
"Yeah, of course, take as much time as you need."
"Wow, Garrett you feeling generous?"
"Yeah well I guess Lily has softened me a little. There's one condition though"
"What's that?"
"You have to promise you'll come back," he said seriously.
"I'll be back Garrett, I promise. You're not that lucky"
He cursed himself for thinking about Jordan constantly. Stop it, she's all the way across the country and she doesn't love me, she had her chance and didn't ask me to stay, it's over and done with. He argued to himself.
