Kim slowly walked down the hall towards Jimmy's room. It'd been a week since he'd been shot and last night Joey had said that Jimmy kept asking about her since Bobby was the one who'd been bringing Joey to see him in the hospital. It was late but she didn't want to wait till tomorrow to talk to him. She opened the door to his room and was glad to see he was alone.

"Jimmy?"

His eyes fluttered open. "Hey. I was wondering when you were gonna show."

She closed the door behind her and stood at the end of his bed. "Joey said you'd been asking about me."

"Yeah." Jimmy nodded. "I asked for you the other night. You never came."

"Brooke was there."

"I wanted you."

Kim looked away. "Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I've been doing some thinking Jimmy about what you asked me the other night. I didn't really give you an answer. If you still want one, I've got one now."

"Sure."

"No."

"No?"

"Right."

"That's it. Just 'no'?"

"Yeah that's it."

"Kim."

"Don't okay? I gave this a lot of thought and I have no desire to revisit our relationship. I can't trust you Jimmy."

"I know and I'm still sorry about that."

"It doesn't change anything."

"What about Joey?"

"What about Joey?"

"Have you considered him in this?"

"Yeah I have. His mother is happy and up until a week ago his father was supposedly happy. It doesn't matter if they're not happy together. I think it's better for him for his parents to be happy apart then to be miserable and fighting together, don't you?"

"He deserves a whole family."

"He has one. We're a little fractured, who isn't?"

"Kim, I still love you."

"I don't love you. Not that way. Not anymore." Kim smiled sadly. "I'll see you later Jimmy."

Kim stopped in mid stride when she saw Bosco on her front steps.

"Hey."

He looked up. "Hi."

"Why are you out here?"

"Wasn't sure you'd want me inside."

"We've been a little distant lately, huh?"

"Yeah."

"I've been a little distant lately." She admitted.

Bosco nodded.

"Bos, there's a reason."

"I figured. Look, Kim if this is because you've decided that you can't be in a relationship with a cop, okay, I can take that. If you've decided you still love Jimmy, I can sort of handle that too. I just need to know."

"I love you."

"What?"

"I love you. That's what I've been doing this past week. Before he was shot, Jimmy asked me if there was any hope for us. I just came from telling him no. Now, I'm telling you why. I love you."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Kim nodded.

"That's good cause this past week, I've been thinking that I was losing you and it made me realize that I love you too."

"Good."
