Mine—Christina Perri (3:34)

Eureka

Beverly

She knew more about this little town than anyone would ever suspect. All of its dirty little secrets rested inside her brain. But there were a few that even she didn't know. A few residents that didn't want to let go of their secrets for her.

Jack Carter was one. The sheriff never came to her for a session. Never trusted enough to let down his guard for her. He was an odd one, that sheriff. He seemed so hard nosed and close minded on the outside and yet…the quirks of Eureka never seemed to faze him for long. He'd take a step back and a breath and then dive into the problem and usually fix whatever had broken.

Zoe Carter was just as inexplicable as her father. On the outside a rebellious teen that hated her father. Sort of. But she had stolen someone else's identity and come to Eureka to be with him. She complained and whined when he grounded her but she did as he'd told her.

Beverly was beginning to think that she might have been away from normal people too long. Living in a town of crazy scientists had made the normal seem strange. Maybe she should get out of this town. But the advances they were making here were too alluring. Too important. And they all thought they needed her. Well, nearly all. She'd stay.

She'd store their secrets behind her smile and work. She'd follow her orders. Even if Jack Carter kept screwing them up. He was rather brilliant. For a norm.
