Maybe things can be different now.

Here's to hoping.

[det_lindsay]

You really going to make say it, aren't you?

[halstead]

Yeah I am.

[det_lindsay]

Jay... [Erin bites her lip, arms folded across her stomach, protecting herself slightly.]

[halstead]

What is it Erin?

[det_lindsay]

[Looking down slightly she speaks the most truthful words she has ever spoken to him.] I'm not saying that this could even work, that a relationship is even possible between the two of us but...

[halstead]

It could be a possibility now we aren't partners?

[det_lindsay]

I'm not sure what I'm saying here but there's something between us and we both feel it, right?

[halstead]

I definitely feel it.

[det_lindsay]

[Erin moves from where she stands making her way over to Jay closing the gap between them, biting her lip in confusion.]

[halstead]

[He makes a move, one he has been wanting to do for a bit. He draws her body to his and before she can speak, his lips press against hers in a slow kiss.]

[det_lindsay]

[One minute she's looking at him from a distance and the next she's in his arms, hers coming to lay on Jay's biceps as her body involuntarily moves so that there's no space between them.]

[halstead]

[The kiss lingers just a bit. He's not that guy that would force her to stay in his arms. She has a choice and he loosens his arm around her. Letting her know she has the out to flee.]

[det_lindsay]

[Part of Erin wants to flee but the safety and slight desperation she feels and has felt in the last couple of months keeps her from running like her brain is advising her to do. Her hands running through his hair.]

[halstead]

[Jay slowly allows that kiss to break as he leans back just a bit. His eyes look down into hers as his hands smooth along her sides.]

[det_lindsay]

[An involuntarily gasp leaves her as she feels herself being pulled away from him before she can even get into whatever this is she is feeling. Erin can't stand the gap between them so she pulls her body back against his, arms going around his neck as she hugs him.]

[halstead]

[There will be absolutely no argument from Halstead at having her body pressed back against his. His arms easily slip around her as he hugs her back.]

[det_lindsay]

[Erin stays like this for a short while before taking Jay's hand and leading him over to her couch, needing to sit down but still manage to be close to him.]
