Scotty was standing there, looking at the car, Lilly was driving rather fast and hastily disappeared in the night. Then he turned his look towards her scarf, which he was holding. He sighed and walked back towards the office. He started packing his things, his thoughts only thinking about Lilly. He was acting like a machine, nearly not looking at what he was doing.
He knew she was afraid of dating someone else and it was worse as it was him, because they were partner. She was scared of being hurt again, that Kite had break her heart. How he wanted to make him pay for what he had done to her.
But he wanted to tell her, how he loved her, how he cared about her, and what she means for him. He wanted to be here for her, but she won't let her walls down for him. She will stay between her walls, not listening to what he wanted to tell her.
Scotty walked out in the parking lot, walked towards his car, get into it and started driving to his house.
As he drove, he felt more courageous and determined. He was gonna show her how strong was his love for her. He will continue 'til she understand, until she let him entered. He was decided to show her, how beautiful was love.
When he entered into his apartment, he went straight towards his phone and dialed her telephone number. "Lil', answered... We need to talk..." He said, waiting for her to take the phone, but as he had predict she didn't answered. So he hung up and sighed. He was gonna try and try until she finally took the phone.
He phoned her three other times in the thirty minutes that followed but she still didn't answered. As he looked at the clock, he finally decided to go to sleep, he was gonna talk to her at work. She couldn't avoid him all the times, as they were partner, he will have all the day to convince her that he will be very carefull, attentive with her.
All he wanted was her hapiness, to see that wonderful smile on her lips and to hear her laugh. He wanted to be with her the rest of his life.
As he was holding her scarf, he saw her with her pale face, looking so fragile. Her blond hair which
He stayed awake on his bed all the night, thinking about how he was going to convince her. She was gonna only talk about the case, and wasn't going to listen to him. He knew her by heart, but he was gonna do everything he could to talk to her.
When Scotty entered in the office the next morning, he saw that Lilly wasn't there yet. She used to come here earlier, but this time she wasn't there. Why she trying to avoid him? But he didn't know if it was that.
So, he went towards his desk and started to do some paperworks which he had left the previous day. As the time passed, the office slowly filled and the air was soon refilled with ringing phones and conversations.
Scotty was still doing some paperworks but was interrupted by Stillman who was walling him. "Scotty, Lilly isn't here yet?" He asked to him with a surprised look.
"Yeah." Scotty answered while looking at Lilly's empty desk. Then he looked at his watch which indicated him 8:00. She hadn't been late since today, it was a little bit strange and Scotty started to be worried.
But he was soon reassured as he saw her coming, big rings under her eyes, the hair . It seems that she hadn't sleep well too. "Hey late night yesterday Lilly?" Vera teased her as he came towards them.
"I'm not in the mood." She answered coldly to Nick.
He looked down at Scotty with an amazed look. Scotty shrugged, even if he knew why she was like that. And Nick returned to his desk. Lilly was hiding her emotion behind a cold behavior. Scotty looked at her, and decided to try to speack to her. "Lilly, we need to talk."
"Not now Scotty, we have work to do." She replied. "But, Lilly listen--" Scotty said.
But he was cut by Stillman who came to see them."The police located Anthony Wilson, they're waiting for you."
Lilly nodded, stood up and took her coat. Scotty sighed and followed her, life wasn't helping him.
