Hey jakesmom, patience is a virtue ;)

This is SUUUPER short you guys, but I just wanted to get this cute little drabbley scene in before my big finale! I really liked writing this for some reason, I love imagining Sara as a character so this was fun for me.

Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

Tommy woke up first the next morning, momentarily forgetting where he was, until he felt a sharp back pain from sleeping on a too-small couch. Within a few minutes, he heard Lindy's bedroom door open and Sara stepped out, trying to acquaint herself with the kitchen and Lindy's Keurig, which was a foreign object to her. She noticed that Tommy was awake.

"I take it Lindy doesn't do much cooking in here, does she?" Sara gave up on scrounging for breakfast and leaned against the kitchen island as her coffee brewed.

Tommy snorted, "I'd say that's an understatement."

"So…" Sara looked at Tommy inquisitively as she took a seat in the living room chair, pausing first to toss him a bag of frozen peas for his brand new black eye.

"Happy to be home?" He asked.

"What?! Of course I am," She said, waving her hand at him dismissively. "But let's just cut to the chase here and talk about what's going on between a certain cop and the girl in there taking up 3/4 of the bed she was supposed to share with me last night."

"Excuse me?" He asked dumbly.

"You're a cyber detective who brought home a girl who had been missing for years and solved the case of a virtual serial killer, play dumb for someone else," She laughed and rolled her eyes.

"It's…complicated," Tommy shrugged, sighing.

"Look, all I'm saying is that I haven't been back with my sister for more than 24 hours and I can already see there's something going on with you two." Sara sipped her coffee as if the action solidified her point.

Tommy blinked at her, he was at a loss for words.

"You need to un-complicate it. I've seen those broody puppy-dog eyes of yours. Whatever you did, fix it, because my sister needs someone good – AKA not a serial killer – in her life. And I'm rooting for you," she said matter-of-factly, like a teacher assigning homework.

"So the only criterion is 'not a serial killer,' huh?" Tommy chuckled.

"You guys are both such hardasses, you deserve each other!" Sara cried in exasperation, but she was smiling.

"Look, I've gotta get back to the precinct sometime today and probably shouldn't show up in clothes stained with a murderer's blood. But I'll see you when you guys come in to give your statements later," Tommy made his way to the door, still holding the frozen peas to half of his face.

"You sure will," Sara nodded enthusiastically, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone because she was dreading having to relive that case.

Just as Tommy was reaching the door, she spoke out again, this time in a softer voice.

"And Tommy," She said. "Thank you. So much. This means everything to Lindy and I…I'd hug you, if you weren't splattered with blood."

Tommy laughed and gave her a salute, then went home. He sure had a lot of thinking to do. And waiting. There was nothing he could do until Lindy was ready to talk. But even then, what would he say?

Inlaws, am I right? (Lol). But see what I mean? Getting to come up with a Sara-Tommy dynamic was fun for me because I got to use a little more imagination, since we know very little about Sara and her personality from the show. Hope you guys liked it and get ready for the final chapter TOMORROW! Thanks for stickin' with me!
