"Where are you?" she heard him call after her.
Shit! "I'm coming!" she shut the book and put it back on the dresser. She turned on her heel and made her way to the kitchen. She leaned against the sink and watched as Frost put the finishing touches on her sandwich.
"You weren't going through my drawers were you?" he asked as he licked the peanut putter off his hand.
"What?" she asked. "Oh! Uh—No I wasn't. I just got lost. In that damn journal I never should have opened.
"My apartment isn't that big Jane." He laughed as he handed her a plate, her favorite sandwich sat on top. She smiled as she took a small bite. More fluff, less peanut butter. Oh wow.
"Pretty good for a one handed guy right?" he laughed as he reached around her to put the knife he used into the sink.
"Mmmhmm." She closed her eyes.
"So what's keeping you up?" he asked as he leaned against the kitchen island.
Jane almost chocked on her sandwich. "Uh-dreams." That's not technically a lie. I HAVE been having dreams…about you.
"Ah." He waited a moment. "Is it Hoyt?" His voice was barely audible.
She smiled as she finished her sandwich. "No, I'm not afraid of him anymore."
"Good. I'm glad." She watched his face relax.
"What about you? What's keeping you up?" she asked as she put the plate behind her on the counter.
He ran his hand over his face and let out a sigh. "What happened today."
"In the building?" she asked.
"Yeah. I just-I really didn't think any of us were going to make it." He hung his head. "I've never been so scared in all my life." He slumped against the island and ran his hands over his face.
She sighed and moved over to him. She placed her hands on his shoulders and pulled him into her. He wrapped one arm around her waist and placed his head on her shoulder. She felt his heart beating frantically against her chest. She held him to her until his breathing began to slow and his heart rate even out. When she was sure he was alright she pushed him away just slightly so she could look into his eyes. God those eyes. She leaned her forehead against his and closed her eyes.
"I should go home." She whispered.
He nodded. "Ok."
She turned and began to make her way to the door. He grabbed her hand and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you Jane."
She smiled as she opened the door. "You're welcome. Goodnight Frost. Oh and thanks for the sandwich."
"Anytime." He closed the door behind her.
She smiled as she entered the elevator. Wow.
