TWO
Renee still can't believe that Tony will be so kind. When Abby told her that he has a huge heart, she was right.
"May I ask a question?"
"Sure, Tony."
"What happened? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"Umm. You know that I lived in New Orleans right? The night of my eighteenth birthday, the guy I liked asked me out. His name was Jason. I said yes and we planned to go to dinner. It was going better than I hoped until he said that his parents wanted to meet me. I, being too naive, agreed. Long story short, his parents weren't home. I... well no one believed me. They said I wanted the drama. I had money saved for a trip so I caught the next flight to DC and showed up on Abby's doorstep."
Tony alternated between anger for what had happened and sympathy for her. He noticed the trickle of tears and pulled her into his lap on the couch. She tensed briefly before relaxing in his loving embrace. She could hear his heart beating and she slowly went to sleep.
Tommorrow she would start at NCIS.
A/N Sorry for it being so short. Next chapter will be much longer.
