Liaison
The battery was his favourite place on the Normandy. It was quiet, let him think without interruption. He felt guilty almost. Stowing himself away in the battery the moment he joined crew once again. But Garrus knew Shepard would understand why he needed the quiet.
He had a feeling she would come by and visit him. He wanted her to. Since seeing Shepard again, he had wondered where they stood. He wondered if she still carried feelings for him. Of course, she did.
She kissed him, held his hands tight and confessed she missed him. He missed her too and it was good to be back by her side.
Garrus knew now that there was nothing in this galaxy – not even the Reapers – that could come between this cross-species liaison.
