Chapter Text
Maura waves at Hope as her car drives away.
5 minutes later Jane lets herself in.
"Hey."
"Where did you end up?" asks Maura
"I just went to the guest house."
"So you've eaten then."
Jane shakes her head.
"My ma's working."
Jane walks over looking in the bin.
"What are you looking for?"
"Evidence." replies Jane
"The food was amazing."
"That's not actually what I meant, but thank you."
Jane sits at the counter.
And Maura put's a plate of food in front of Jane.
"You're so good to me."
"Well, you made it."
"But you're ok, right."
"I'm fine." replies Maura
Jane puts a fork full of food in her mouth.
"So you two planned to see each other again."
"I said I'd call her." replies Maura
"Well that's good...what did you talk about?"
Maura doesn't answer.
"Maura?"
"Ummm." replies Maura
"You sure you're ok?"
"Yea...no."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." replies Maura
"Maura."
"I'm going to regrett this."
Maura takes a seat opposite Jane at the counter.
"There's something I've been meaning to tell you, for a long time...I was...just too scared, I guess."
"Why?" asks Jane
"I don't want to lose you."
"There is nothing you can say that will let that happen."
Maura sighs.
"Promise me you'll talk to me before you run out the door."
Jane put's a hand on top of Maura's hand.
"I'm not going anywhere."
Maura moves her hand from under Jane's hand.
"I...uh...I have...why is this so hard...I...love you."
"I love you, too."
"No um...I sort of have a...crush, on you...except it's not a crush."
Silence.
"You're not moving."
"Where would I go. A beautiful woman just told me she's in love with me...that's what you were trying to say, right." replies Jane
Maura nods.
"I guess the next move is mine."
Jane walks over to Maura placing her lips on hers.
"PS: I love you, too."
Maura pulls Jane back towards her.
Maura closes her eyes as Jane's tongue enters hers.
The End.
