Title: Gold Author: soft lite Rating: G Characters: Danny thinking about CJ and the senior staff Author's note: Here's a drabble to go with "Bronze and Gold." I think this also could stand alone okay at some unknown, future time on TWW.

Gold

Slowly, the pieces were clicking into place for Danny. CJ was in love with him. And she was going to admit it publicly. Her colleagues, while perhaps surprised, seemed content with this revelation. He felt time was suspended, his feet tingling and rooted to the ground. Distantly, he was aware that he should leave, but he was unable to hear anything but her whisper. At her words, he turned and saw a small smile on the lips he lived to see upturned, in her eyes a sparkle that had been missing too long. He imagined his future. With her.
