A/N: Drabble based on a scene in S03E03.
"I'm just sick of us always being against each other."
"Well, maybe we don't always have to be." Martha leans forward with a hint of flirtation and Clive smiles, his heart skipping a beat, his hopes rising. Maybe she's changed her mind. Maybe they can—
"Sarah Stevens isn't a murderer," Martha continues and Clive's hopes fall again, his smile fading. He looks down. Of course, she's talking about the case, not about them.
The chambers accounts are still on the table in front of him. Head of chambers. He may not have Martha, but maybe he can have this instead.
