perf as always

[The thought of working alone for the rest of her life (however short she expects it to be) is one that Steph had made peace with a long time ago, knowing that lamenting it would only make things worse.

Running into Clark had changed that, even if she's still not exactly sure where they stand with each other, considering both of them seem so used to working alone. She wants to trust him, but it's been a long time since she's trusted anyone, and it isn't something to fall back into so easily.

She doesn't even want to think about - anything else. About how Clark makes her feel. They need to focus on what's in front of them, which is a crime ring operating out of a little country town. Two new people turning up at once might've raised too many eyebrows, but a country boy bringing his new wife out to the fresh air and wide open spaces has been done a million times before.

And they barely even have to act; Clark is comfortable in the country in a way that Steph really isn't, and it's obvious from the tension in her shoulders even once the door is closed.]


I feel like I should've bought more floral dresses.

[Or maybe more flannel.]
