Hank left her hanging in her living room by herself. What was she going to do now? What was the way out? Her debt was paid she owed him nothing, but what now? How she was going to pull through this mess without fall with him or worse falling by herself in some hole like she already did in the past?

However she had Jay now, she was not alone anymore. And he was eager to help her. He already sent her two texts trying to find out if she was ok and trying not to force her or pressure her. He knew her and that's why she should rely on him. He knew her and she loved him for that, for knowing her, her demands and her trust issues. So if she wanted what that they had to keep going, she needed to let him help her or at least let him be by her side.

With all this on her mind she picked up the phone from beside the counter and text Jay.

*I'm Ok! I just need time! Talk soon! Kiss*

She let herself fall on the couch and tried to relax. It seemed like these day wouldn't end. She was tired and stressed and hungry. All at the same time.

She decided to take a bath, thinking that that would be a good option to relax. As she was walking to the bedroom she heard the phone ring. She turned back to the counter and saw a text from Jay.

*Call me if you need me! Any time! Kiss*

She drop the phone on the counter again with a smile on her face and sat at her laptop again. Before Hank showed up she was looking at the town house listing that Jay had send to her.

Was she ready for this? Was she ready to share her life with this man?

She was so in love with him and she had no doubt he was in love with her too. She could tell by his actions, his concerned about her, the way she felt when he looked at her. But was she ready to finally let her guard down and share her life, her desires, her insecurities, her fears, her joys, her craziness with a man? Was she ready to let him in, all the way in?

And again she felt trapped and stressed. This was all too much for her right now and she turned her back to the computer and headed to the shower.

His words resounded in her head "Move in with me!" "I don't want you to come and go!"

She was so afraid of all this.

Come on Erin you are a grown women. You have to keep your life moving forward not on pause or stand bye. He knows all your shady stories, at least most of them. You need him. He's good for you and you are good together. You love him, what's to think about it? She thought to herself.

With the shower running she kept staring at the mirror and all she could see was a fragile woman... Why? She entered the bathtub hoping to relax and chill a bit but all the mess of the last days kept coming to her. In the end she knew she needed Jay, like she never needed anyone else before.

He, for sure, was the only one she could trust right now so they probably should be together. Together, together. Maybe this town house was a good idea. She just needed to work out all her commitment fears.

Finally, after the bath she decided to eat something, before she open the fridge the picture of Nadia jumped into her sight.

Nadia would tell her to go for it, she was sure of that. She always supported their relationship and she always bugged Erin about not being totally in with Jay.

If she was there in that kitchen she would be saying that all of Erin fears were no reason for her give up on the man that she loved.

Erin caressed the picture of the two of them letting a tear drop. She missed her so much.

By looking around the leaving room she recognized that she would miss this place. Too many memories, too many histories, too many moments, too many people, too many...

And with all that, she wasn't in the mood to be alone anymore, she was emotional and tired and she didn't had anything in the fridge that she was in the mood to eat so, she picked up her phone and dialed Jay's number.

"Hi! How are you? More relaxed?" Jay asked. She noticed the concerned, but he was soft and sweet when he spoke, trying not to show it.

"Yeah, better. Look what about we grab a bite to eat?" Erin asked.

"Ok! Pick you up at your place?"

"Yes please!" She answered smiling.

"Ten minutes!" Jay said, hanging up.

They went out to eat tacos at one of her favorite places. He noticed she was more relaxed but he was not going to push her about the living arrangements. He was anxious to know if she was thinking about it or not, and if she was, what was she thinking; yes or no.

It's better to not to over think this man, he thought to himself trying to let go for a beat. However he had to confess that he was a little nervous. It took a lot of balls to ask her to move in with him, especially now and especially in the break room. But he had been thinking about this for so long and seeing her slipping through his fingers again with all the Voight mess he just said it without thinking and now was out.

"So? What about now?" Jay asked grabbing her hand and kissing her. "Do you still want to be alone?" He asked without facing her.

She smiled at his gesture. "My place?"

He raised his eyebrow and got up. "As you wish!"

She raised her eyebrow and added, judging him. "Don't get too excited, I'm still tired, you pervert."

She walked to him and kissed him on the cheek. He put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear. "I'm not a pervert, I just miss seeing you naked!"

She blushed at his comment and felt her heart racing a bit. He managed to do that to her sometimes and she loved it. "Still a pervert!"

They left the restaurant smiling at each other and drove straight to her apartment.

They fell on the couch almost at the same time, but she got up moments latter to grab something to drink. "The tacos always make me thirsty!" As she opened the fridge she stopped again at Nadia's picture.

She couldn't leave this home... And in there with a beer in on hand and Nadia's picture on the other she got it. They would move in together yes, but not to a new house, they would live in her house together. Her house would became their house. It would be much more easy for her and it's was a good arrangement too, and apparently Jay felt comfortable there too. He spend most of the nights there anyway.

She smiled to herself, happy to finally have some kind of resolution in her mind.

But she was not ready to share just yet, instead she came back to the couch and sat on his lap, offering him her beer to him. "So do you still want to see me naked?"
