"I picked these for you."
JJ had a very eclectic music taste, which tended to be a revelation to people. She was cognizant of the fact that she looked like the type of person who only listened to pop ballads and country music and rather enjoyed the look of shock that would come over people's faces when she caught a reference to some obscure metal band, or mouthed the words to a song that was only popular in contemporary jazz circles. Her taste in music was something that she and Emily had initially bonded over when Emily had been surprised on hearing JJ humming the tune to "Cities In Dust."
That Emily had recognized the melody hadn't surprised JJ much, as she'd always thought Emily had a 'corporate goth' vibe about her, but she had been delighted when it turned out that the older woman's tastes were as eclectic as her own, peppered in with singers and bands from around the world that JJ had never heard of.
A few weeks ago, she had heard a song by Les Rita Mitsouko for the first time at Emily's and had expressed interest in finding other music that sounded similar. Truthfully, she had completely forgotten about the conversation until they were tiredly boarding the jet after a case in Bellingham Washington and Emily had presented her with a playlist on her mp3 player that had JJ's name on it.
"I picked these for you." Emily explained, dropping into the seat next to her. "I couldn't decide which you'd like better, so I might have gone a little overboard."
"You wouldn't be you if you didn't." JJ chuckled affectionately, sticking the ear buds in her ears and hitting play on the first song of the list.
