▌█ ∵  🔪 ∵ █ ▌What a selfish boy he was. To keep her all to himself, nightly activities all their own to revel in her. But, it would be a lie to say in his presence she had not learned to be selfish with another person as well. She was not one to get connected, often struggling because of her lack of empathy towards others but with him. God, it was not even required, he understood it would not be something that she would ever offer nor was it something she was physically capable of but, he still wanted the connection they shared. He taught her how to be messy and carefree, that she did not need to keep everything planned to a T and sometimes it was safer to take that risk. It was attractive really to learn how to lose herself in a murder as he did, even more so when she was able to sit and witness him lose himself in his element. It was the first real emotional, or  even romantic relationship she truly felt connected to. That she wanted to keep instead of destroy and watch burn. He was a world, a universe and galaxy few understood and it was her time now to learn every planet in that galaxy and every tree in that world. She would give everything to keep things just like this, who gave a shit if it would end in death for one or both of them, they would go out in a blaze of glory. For once she could not give a fuck about what the future held as long as she had this moment and the moments like it. She craved the chaos that was them and every taste of it she got just made her want more, far more. But, she would not lie to herself or him, these moments had fallen sacrifice to her work to keep their covers up far too long.  Squeeze of hips cause small roll of eyes at possessive nature. Gaze drifting to his lips as head tilted to the side with a small sigh❝I would hate to keep you awake lovely. Especially after such an intense moment tonight with this poor one.❞ Hand curls along jaw for a moment to turn head over his shoulder before tugging him to look back to her. A moment she lets stew in complete and utter silence as she thinks. Fingers drumming on him for a moment before tugging lips to her own for another quick kiss.  ❝Come back with me, to shower and get ready and then if I still feel obligated to leave you for work you can sleep at mine until I return. And if not, you may keep me to yourself for the night and day alike for whatever you so wish. Deal my love? Or do I need to earn your time again?❞

▌█ ∵  🔪 ∵ █ ▌A small finger rose before quietly dismissing herself. A quick phone conversation outside of earshot of the other just in case it got sour and she had to pull a, I never take days off cards give me this damn it. But it was automatically okay and for once she was excited to do something. Returning with bright smile hands rested on the others upper arms as bright expression grew❝If I had to I would have killed them all for a night like that with you. Needless to say I did not need to this time but it will always be on the table love.❞ Soft giggle before she offered a warm squeeze onto the others arms. It was unusual and strange for her to offer touch or affection to another, or want it in her life. There were times when it would be quick, a single night but there was an undeniable connection between the pair. And this, the simple motion of this simple touch was enough for now. Strange and unusual yes, but welcomed.❝So, whenever you are ready, lead the way. ❞  

▌█ ∵  🔪 ∵ █ ▌ Arms crossed over her chest as gaze narrowed looking to the other. Fingers running along edge of closed butterfly knife in her hand slowly. She needed to contain herself before something became something more than it needed to be. Control the anger even if buttons were being pushed intensely. ❝And you are as well Darling. You had better watch the next words that come out of your god damn mouth.❞ Hand carefully drops weapon into purse with a gentle clatter before hands curled into a tight fist.  ❝If I were you would think before you speak again. Think long and hard because you never know who you are dealing with. And darling, I am a hurricane when I get angry and I will destroy everything in my path. So if you would like to proceed in our line crossing and have something happen, do so at your own god damn risk.❞

▌█ ∵  🔪 ∵ █ ▌ HUm as she sat at bar, no conversation between other that sat beside her. At the cortez for a multitude of reasons, helping guide John and bring Marsh’s vision to light while still throwing the police. Especially with how much John was falling through lately. Acquaintance met with the girls sister, at least that was how the dots seemed to connect in the serial killers eyes. ❝She can be darker than her late husband sometimes. The Countess, does that bother you or are you both as welcoming of the dark?❞

▌█ ∵  🔪 ∵ █ ▌ ❝Oh no. No coffee, in fact I think I will have a milkshake made in front of me and you to stay here since it is pretty empty now❞ Something familiar within this woman, parts of herself seen in her perhaps. Myra was not sure but whatever it was, she was going. Arm raised, elbow rested on counter before palm held her chin. ❝Heard some people got sick after leaving her any idea why? Regulars too.❞

▌█ ∵  🔪 ∵ █ ▌ Dress fixed as she rose from desk. Using badge to enter a restricted room before clocking out for lunch. Exiting to the front as she entered the waiting room a familar but less bloodied face caught her sightline. Doing a quick circle the woman turned around before a brow rose. ❝I remember you, you were the suspected mugging case that turned a lot darker, we’re still working on that one.❞ Her voice was quiet and soft but after a moment her brow quirked the slightest. What on earth could he be doing here?  ❝I don’t think we have new information but what brings you here?❞

▌█ ∵  🔪 ∵ █ ▌ Another disappointing movie, she often skipped out on horror movies either they were just a gorefest and unrealistic or they were a disappointment and lack any sort of realism and just dragged on. This one, fell under the latter one which was something that let her down. Trailers made it seem like something so much better. ❝Well, that was two and a half hours I will never get back.❞ Exasperated sigh as she rose from her seat, words spoken just as a general to make it clear how she felt before flicking red locks over shoulder.  

▌█ ∵  🔪 ∵ █ ▌ Silk and lace tugged around scantily clad frame as bare feet quickly went down stairs in her home. Incessant knocking at a quarter to three as she had finally finished uploading photos to an online gallery for the department and was about to let herself sleep. Whoever it was was clearly demanding of her to get to the door, she had let the banging go on for a few minutes before anger reached her. Entering the kitchen first she tugged the largest knife from the block on the counter before reaching the door. Sliding the chain lock first and then the door lock she slowly opened the door. ❝Do you have any idea the hour?❞ Aggression in voice as knife was held behind door and frame but as gaze met the strangers only to find it was not a stranger at all she softened for a moment. Before facade was tugged up again and narrowing her eyes  ❝ Why in Christs name are you here Darling?❞
