The uneasy feeling from earlier returned and still Shara couldn’t name it. All the months and years of therapy and she couldn’t identify. His skin against hers warmed her and she felt his heart beating through her back. Her own chest heaved and her breath caught i her throat. “It wasn’t worry… back at the creek with the fish. When you went under. It was panic, Micah. Panic over losing you, of something terrible happening to you. I don’t…” She shook her head slightly unable or unwilling to speak to rest of the words, though she wasn’t even sure which one it was right now.

“I don’t wanna lose you either, Sha.” he said softly. “No way, no how. I don’t how or why we ended up like this… and I learned long time ago not ta try an’ figure stuff like this out. Sometimes s#!+ just happens and its good. We’re good together. I like havin’ ya with me. It feels like… I dunno… like I’ve been going over some damn case file for years and seeing everything right there and then suddenly it just fits.... clicks inta place like a puzzle. And I ain’t gonna waste what time we have together tryin’ ta figure out why. I’m just gonna hold ya, be with ya, and love on ya as much as I can between now and whenever. I hope that’s ok with you.”

It hd been a very long time since anyone had held her like this. Yes, there had been flings and one night stands. Nothing serious. Not since Reid, and before that her late husband Edward. A long time had passed it it was slowly as if her body was remembering what this felt like. What being held and cared for felt like. Her couldn’t see her face but long streaks ran over the curve of her cheeks as she nodded slowly. “Yeah.” If there was one thing here she was really good at it was living in the present moment. And right now she was here with Micah. Leaning back further into him, Shara tilted her head so it partially rested on his shoulder, nestled in the crook of his neck.

Micah held her in silence. The soft sound of the waterfall filled the chamber and he simply kept her close, feeling her skin and warmth on his body. Feeling her breathing and heartbeat in rhythm with his. He hadn’t been this close to anyone, and being honest with himself he was scared. But not of her…

He had no idea how much time had passed, but eventually he said “I need to tell you somethin’, Sha. But I’m wor… scared… you’ll wanna leave if I do. And I don’t want that… not at all.”
