“Hey Gorgeous.”
Tara’s smile is soft as she kisses Alex cheek as she passes her to pour herself a coffee, pausing at the sound of Alex’s breathing hitching. Rage instantly starts to boil and Alex’s soft choking breathing draws her attention again as she sets her mug down, moving to wrap her arms around Alex.
“Sorry…”
“For what?”
“Being so… weak.”
“Hey, you aren’t.”
Tara murmurs softly.
“Who said that?”
“Rossi.”
Tara scoffs, rolling her eyes.
“Man cannot handle that we’re together babe, you know that…”
“He said I was just….”
“You aren’t.”
Tara promises again, kissing Alex softly, stroking tears from her cheeks.
“You are my forever.”
Later, once Alex is calmer, Tara takes a chance to ‘talk to’ Rossi. Her voice raising as she lays out the issues she has with him, laughing slightly when Emily takes her side, her voice soft.
“Thanks Em.”
“Just take Blake home, alright? She needs you.”
“Yes ma’am.”
Tara does takes Alex home, making a point to flirt a little more openly, stealing a soft kiss before leading her away to take her home.
