You are alone in your office, and you close your eyes. You know he isn't really going to fire at you, but… you are still scared, you are still going to have a gun pointed at your chest, doesn't matter you are ready, doesn't matter that you know the bullets are fake.
And then, you feel it.
You feel an hard, masculine body, pressed against your own, your breasts flat against his chest, and two strong arms holding you, like they didn't want to get away from you ever again, like you were a guiding light, his last connection to the world, to life itself. You reciprocate the hug, resisting the urge to cry and sob out of pain- the pain of your spirit, not of your body – and he lets it go, moving away, struggling, his eyes fixed in yours.
He points the gun at your chest after having stared at it for an instant, like he had forgotten it's a fake, that you'll not suffer for real, and again he stares at you, in your eyes, without breaking eye contact, ever.
And then, you heat them.
You hear the words he whispers, and you wonder what they mean. You understand them, their sound, but not their meaning, and after a while you'll joke about it, but, truth to be told, you are still wondering about them, about that Love you he told you.
You're gonna think about them for a long while, you know it, because he is back, he is in your life once again. And you love him too. Does he know? is it the reason he said so? or was he just pretending? You don't know it, but Jane is back, and who knows, maybe, one day, you'll understand.
After all, he is looking for a strong woman, in peace with herself, who had seen his worst and hadn't abandoned him yet, didn't want to abandon him… and now you know, after meeting Greg, after having talked with him, you understood. You made peace with your past, you faced it (thanks to Tommy and Annie as well) and you overcame everything. You are at peace with yourself, you are strong, and nobody had ever seen the worst of Jane like you did, but you are still there, at his side, like you'll ever be.
Who knows if he was faking. You don't know, but you can still hope. He is here with you, after all. You'll have to time to get your answers, and this time, they'll be true.
