Chapter 2

Shalimar was hearing Jesse's sighing and stopped her singing. She looked at him and saw that he had his eyes closed and far away with his thoughts. She pulled her legs into the car and was sitting straight up. Through the mirror, she saw Brennan's eyes, concentrated on the road, in front of him. He felt her looking en met her eyes. She laughed and was making a drinking gesture with her hand. He nodded and Shalimar pulled the lid of the cool box, took two bottles of water and placed the lid back. She asked to be sure:" Jesse?", but she didn't get any response. It looked like he was sleeping. She opened the bottle for Brennan and gave him his. In the mirror she met his gazing look and he held her eyes for moments. In his eyes, she could read his feelings for her and she felt warm inside her body. He winked and then looked at the road again, and taking nips of his water.

Shalimar opened her bottle, took some gulps of water and closed the bottle. Her eyes fell on the bracelet, which was on her wrist. The bracelet belonged to the necklace on her neck. The necklace, she got that, when Brennan told her, that he loved her. That happened a couple of months ago on her birthday. The bracelet did she get, when they were having their two months anniversary. She grinned, just thinking at that moment.

She was on her tree, by the lake. She had been angry at Brennan, for taking to many risks at their last mission. They were having a big fight and when they had arrived at Sanctuary, she immediately walked to her tree. She had been there for several hours and then she had heard Brennan. She could feel him, she could smell him. He had turned up with a red rose in one hand and in the other a small bag with liquorices from Holland. They called it drop, and Jesse ex-girlfriend, who had been a Dutch girl, was addicted to the candy and she had tasted it once and since then Adam made sure, that drop was in Sanctuary. She had been totally hooked on it ever since. Brennan had been walking towards her and had stopped in front of her. He had given her the rose and the liquorices. She had not said anything, just had opened the small bag, had one candy and had put it in her mouth. She had chewed for a moment and then she had smiled. He had looked at her, relieved his plan had been succeeded. He had made excuses and had kissed her. She had apologized too, although she hadn't mean it. She had felt, she had been right. After his great kiss, she had moved aside , so he could sit too. He had sat behind her and had embraced her with his arms. He had pulled her near him and had laid his chin on her shoulder. They had eaten the liquorices and suddenly he had had a box in his hands. This had reminded her to her birthday, couple of months ago. The box had been the same as then. He had whispered in her ear, that he loved her . He had opened the box and took the bracelet out. She had been turning around to protest, but he stopped her and had made some soothing noises. He had put her bracelet on and starting kissing her neck in a slow pace. Shalimar was turning red, when she remembered this moment and laughed. Again her eyes met Brennan's and for one moment he looked wondered to her. She winked at him and took a nip of her water to cool down.
