A bruise to the forearm seemed laughable in comparison to other injuries that'd been sustained while on the job. However, Alexa knew deep down that she'd feel the same โ if roles somehow became reversed.
"I'm not made of glass, Em." Her gaze softened an inch.
Yet another scoff, those chosen words from her wife only serving as more fuel to the fire felt inside.
"No," She refused to concede, intense eye contact achieved. "You weren't the unit chief in that moment. He tried to grab your wife, and you freaked out."
"At least she's making the effort," Teeth scraped the inner corner most of her cheek, that topic still incredibly sensitive even for her.
A hand lifted in order to run through blonde locks, buying herself a couple seconds longer of a reprieve. "Do you think it'll last?"
Alexa found a less than comfortable chair of Emily's office. Her shoulders visibly slumped as hands began to fidget out of irritation.
"I had him right where I wanted himโ" A deliberate pause, previous moments replayed inside her head.
"You had no reason to pull me out."
She knows it shouldnโt be a habit encouraged or rewarded. But neither sleep well when the dark haired woman isnโt with them โ and a night or two couldnโt hurt.

โCome on then, you can keep mamaโs spot warm for her.โ

A nod more for herself than the other, as though trying her damnedest to believe the words she hears.
However, the guilt has been eating away at her slowly but surely. A pit felt in her stomach ever since their secret came to light.
โTheyโll move on from it. . . I hope.โ
That red sleep mask gets removed, eyes squinting while attempting to readjust to her surroundings.
โWe read three books, ladybug.โ

Eyes are quick to avoid the other, an uncomfortable sense of vulnerability creeping up from deep within.
โEloping,โ She states plainly, teeth dragging over her bottom lip. โWas that wrong?โ
A scoff with that comment being something taken to the heart โ perhaps even offending her a little.
โIโm such a terrible sister for checking on your wellbeing.โ An eye roll, the tender moment seemingly ruined before it has even begun.
โGod forbid, right?โ
