Emma and Olivia looked up as Dean and Dallas walked through the door.

“Hey,” Emma said. “How’d it go?”

Dean shrugged off his coat. “Good.” He came over to Emma, ran his hand affectionately through her short hair. “How are you feeling, baby?”

“Really good.”

“You eat today?”

She nodded.

Dallas’ eyes were trained on Olivia. “You doing OK?”

“Not bad.” She gave him a smile that was almost completely normal. “Did you get everything from Greg?”

“Yeah. Can we go back to my place and look through it all? I want to know if anything’s missing, or not right.”

“Sure.” Olivia got to her feet. “See you later, Em. Bye, Dean.”

“Bye,” they said and watched Dallas and Olivia leave. They looked at each other.

“Sooooooo,” Emma said. “She stayed at his place last night…”

“I know.” Dean grinned. “I kind of thought maybe they’d finally gotten together.”

“Me too!” Emma said. “But no. Alack and alas.”

“They’re not together yet,” Dean said. “It looks like they’ll be spending lots of time together, though, so m

    She stirred in his arms now, made a soft sound in her throat. He kissed her eyelids and she smiled, opened them up slowly. “Good morning,” Dallas said, his voice husky with emotion.“Hi,” she said. “You were watching me sleep?”“You know it.” He ran his fingers through her hair. “You’re so beautiful, baby.”She searched his eyes, and she saw that he was telling her the truth. Tears slid down her cheeks as the miracle of that truth just washed over her, overwhelmed her with its sweetness.“I love you, Olivia.” He kissed her, then gently wiped the tears with his thumbs. “More than I can ever say.”“I love you too.” Her voice trembled, and he pulled her closer. They lay quietly for a few minutes, just listening to each other breathe, loving the closeness and warmth between them.“Hey,” he said suddenly. “It’s Christmas in a couple of weeks…”She propped herself up on one arm, and gazed at his handsome face. “It is indeed. You got any plans?”“No. Jim and Chris are off back home, and Dea

    “Do you – do you blame me for what happened? For what that sick fuck did to you in the conference room, and for the end of your career?”“No.”“But how can you not?” he asked, and she heard the despair in his voice. “Because I only blame one person, and he’s dead. You killed him as he held a knife to my throat and whispered in my ear that he was going to slash it wide open. Greg Wallace did all of this to me, and I know that he was sick and maybe one day I’ll feel pity for him… but right now, I’m angry as hell at him. Only at him.” Her eyes held his. “I know what it cost you to pick up that rifle again, babe, what you risked losing of yourself by doing that. I know how slim the chances were that you were going to make that shot. But you did it anyway, and you saved my life. I love you for that.”“You do?”“Yes. I do.” She got to her feet, and came to him. She stood right in front of him, close enough for him to feel her body heat. “I love you.”Dallas reached for her now, pulled her

    Dallas opened his front door and stared in confusion at the woman with long blonde hair standing there. “Hi. Can I help you?”She lowered the scarf covering her face and she smiled. “Hi, Dallas.”He almost reeled backwards in shock. “Olivia,” he said. “What – what are you doing here?”“I want to talk to you,” she said. “Can I come in?”“Uh, sure.” He stepped aside. “Let me take your coat.” He managed to get it off her body without actually touching her.“Thank you.”They stared at each other. Dallas’ eyes took in the bandage on her face and he winced.Your fault, man. All yours.Olivia saw his grimace, and she felt hurt pierce her chest.He thinks you’re so ugly, he can’t even bring himself to look at you.She took off the blonde wig and shook out her hair. “Courtesy of Kat,” she said. “She put on a red one and Jim drove off with her just now. Just in case the press followed us, you know.”His face tightened at the mention of the press. He’d dealt with them in the past, of course, sin

    Ten days laterKat stood in the middle of her living room, hands on her hips, staring at Olivia in complete disbelief. She was exasperated and angry, and all those things that she’d been longing to say to Liv for the past week were bubbling away just below the surface. She’d refrained from saying any of them, in deference to Liv’s fragility, but she was doing better now, and Kat felt that the time for a ‘come-to-Jesus’ talk had finally arrived.Jim was next to Kat, and he laid a calming hand on her arm. “Liv,” he said. “I really, really think you’ve got that wrong. In fact, I know you do.”“And I’m really, really sure that I don’t,” Liv shot back. “I don’t care what he says… he actually thinks I’m ugly and repulsive. That’s why he’s so polite and distant every time we talk. That’s why he barely touches me, and won’t look at me when he’s anywhere close to me.”Kat took a deep breath. “He does not think that about you. Dallas thinks that this is all his fault. He promised to protect yo

    Dean, Jim and Chris were standing by the elevator when the women stepped off. Kat and Jenny were both supporting Emma, who seemed about ready to collapse. Dean jumped forward, took Emma in his arms.“You OK?” he said. She shook her head, pale and shaken. “Not yet. Where is she?”“They’re stitching her up right now,” Chris said, keeping his voice low, trying to keep them calm. “The doctor said she’d be out in ten minutes with an update.”The women nodded and looked around.“Where’s Dallas?” Kat said.The men looked troubled. “In the waiting room,” Chris said. “He’s – he’s not doing so well.”“He blames himself?” Jenny asked quietly.“Yeah,” Chris said. “Come on, this way.”They all stood in the hallway, staring into the waiting room at Dallas. He was slumped over in a chair, his elbows on his knees, his head in his hands. His huge body looked diminished, somehow, and he was the very picture of despair and helplessness.Jenny would never know what made her do it; all she knew was that

    Dallas was on his stomach, his rifle set up and his finger on the trigger, his friends behind him. They were all watching the monitor, the guys in horror, Dallas coolly, reassessing the angle of the curve. Olivia and Greg were standing now, and that actually helped things immeasurably. He ignored the fact that Greg was cutting Olivia’s left cheek; ignored her clear distress. Then he realized that he couldn’t just pretend that she wasn’t there.He knew that this may well be the last time he saw Olivia alive, and he wanted to take one final look, to see how she was in what were possibly her final few seconds. No turning away from her terror, no denying the pain she was in, no hiding from just how badly he’d failed her. If he was going to hate himself for the rest of his fucking life, Dallas had to know for what exactly he was to blame.I am so sorry, sweetheart. I fucked this up so bad.On the monitor, Dallas looked at her, devoured her. Greg had her turned to face the window now and he
