The elevators door opened, and Lisbon stepped away from Jane and headed towards her car, Jane was only a step behind her. Once she reached her car she turned to Jane, who came to a stop within inches of her, she could feel his body heat, and shivered slightly. For the first time since she had woke him up, she spoke.

'Well apart from the little adventure we had today.' She gave him a pointed look, but all he did was give her, his charming smile, which she always found hard to resistible. She smiled slightly back before continuing.

'Well done on catching the killer even if you didn't do it in the right way like always. It's been a very entertaining day. But know I'm just going to head home have a nice relaxing bath, enjoy your night off.' She gave him one last smile, before turning away to head to the front seat. She was stopped abruptly by a hand grabbing hers, and turning her swiftly. The next thing she knew she was pressed into a warm chest. She was slightly shocked at first and tried to pull away, but he tighten his hold on her. She dint really have any other choice so she wrapped her arms around his waist, relaxing into the touch. It felt weird at first as they have never really been this close before, but after a couple of seconds she started to feel comfortable with the touch. All too soon Jane pulled away from her and stepped away and headed towards his car, and said a goodnight over his shoulder. Lisbon stood there shocked for a couple of seconds before turning around and saw Jane car leaving, shaking her head, confused as hell, and opening the door and starting the car.

She drove home on autopilot; she was paying more attention to her thoughts then the road ahead of her. She was thinking about the day they just had, and more importantly Jane. She couldn't wrap her head around why he had done it, and more importantly why she hugged him back. Thinking back to the hug, she realized how safe she felt in his arms for the first time since her mother had died, and she wasn't use to it. It made her scared at the thought. She didn't get much more time to think about it as her house came into view, and she saw Jane's Citroen in front of her house. Pulling her car behind his, she got out of the car and locked it. Turning away from the car she saw Jane sitting on the steps in the front of the house. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she walked towards him. When she was a few steps away from him he lifted his head and meet her gaze. She looked into his eyes and saw a lot behind them. He seemed nervous about something and she wasn't sure what, there was also something behind them that she thought she would never see in his eyes that were directed at her. Thinking that she had made a mistake she shifted her eyes away from his and stepped around him to open her door. She walked into her house and left the door open knowing that Jane would follow her in.

When Jane had stepped away from Lisbon in the car park, he felt slightly better with himself, with the step he had just taken with Lisbon. He had been slightly worried that she would have laughed in his face at the bold move. But when she had pulled away and didn't laugh him, he wasn't about the let her get away from him so he tighten his hold. He was slightly shocked that she returned the hug after that, but that was what put him in the mood he was in now. When he reached his car, he didn't really want to go home, so he decided to go for a drive.

Before he realized where he was going, he was pulling up at Lisbon's house, slightly shocked that he had driven here without thinking. He turned the engine off and went to wait on the steps. While he waited for Lisbon to arrive, he fiddled with the ring on his finger; thinking about his wife always upset him. But as he sat there he came to realized that even though he still loved his wife, he couldn't keep living his life like he was. He heard Lisbon's car, and because he had just come to that conclusion, he turned the ring around his finger one last time before taking the ring off and putting it in his pocket, it felt like a weight had been lifted of his shoulders. He heard Lisbon walking up the pass and lifted his head, he meet her gaze and tried to convey his emotions through his eyes. He saw confusion in her eyes at why he was here. He saw her shake her head slightly before breaking eye contact with him and stepped around him. She had left the door open, taking that as an invitation; he flexed his left hand one last time. Before standing and following her in, closing the door behind him as he entered.

By the time Jane had entered her house; she had slung her coat over the back of the couch and put her purse on the table. When she heard the door close behind her, she turned to face him, she asked.

'Would you like a drink, a cup of tea or something?' When he nodded his head, she went into the kitchen to start the drinks. She filled the kettle with water and turned it on. Opening the cupboard to grab some mugs, she filled one with a tea bag and the other with coffee. Once that had been sorted she turned to notice Jane, and saw that he had taken refuse at her kitchen table, being very silent and in his own thoughts. She was about to ask if he was ok, when the kettle finished boiling, she turned back around, to get the drinks. When they were ready she took a seat opposite Jane and handed him his drink, he just nodded his head as a thanks and took a sip. She took a sip of her own drink before asking.

'So Jane is everything ok.'
