At Night

Hearing about the butcher shop, Clint's eyebrows rose. For a moment, he was speechless. Wendy hadn't outright fought him about finding other work, but he knew she didn't like the idea. Yet she willingly told him about this job?

He set his sandwich down and slid his hand over to take hers. Her skin felt so soft under his rough fingers. "Thank you... that means a lot to me. I... might check that out." He gave her hand a squeeze. "No matter what I find... I promise I will always come home at night... you know that right?"

"Uh-uh." Hal shook his head. "I don't think Dalton's guilty either." He paused to frown. "Then again... I don't think anyone here is guilty... And yet... someone has to be. I just don't understand it."

He sighed and looked back at the screen. "We know the notebook was planted no longer than a couple days ago because that's when the camera moved. Otherwise... we've found nothing. I don't know what to do."

His eyes traveled back to Sam. "I'm not saying this because I think it's true but... would anyone want the FBI to discover something like this going on here, in order to prove the Elite is housing killers? I mean... could... the whole 'traitor in our midst' just be a lie, created to stir up trouble?"

Laura giggled as Nate came up behind her, and leaned back into him as he kissed her. "Mm... I won't be going anywhere," she assured, pointing a wooden spoon at him. "If you don't take too long, that is." She was so happy to see the spark back in her husband's eye... it had been gone for too long.

Garret didn't even look at Nate as he entered the room. He didn't want to hear any of the same old words meant to encourage him or make him more patient. He just wanted to be left alone.

Hearing what he had to say though, he finally looked at him before sitting up. "Serious?" He gave a slight scoff. "Maybe he's a better actor than I have him credit for." He thought for a moment, his brow furrowing. "Does he want me to do anything? I mean... Stay away or come in to work or...? What can I do to help?"

“I’d rather die knowing I did something to help, than live and know I didn’t do anything.”

“Some of our best memories are not of us alone, but of those who we hold
close to us.”

“Sometimes it takes dancing near the flame to ignite your
own light.”

“I thought I told you not to say goodbye.”

“That smile of yours is too pretty to keep hiding it all the time.”

“…the day I made that stupid mistake, I lost my entire world.”

“The only thing you did wrong was to give up on yourself.”

“Rainbows are only formed by reflecting the light that’s already around them.”

“I knew if I waited
long enough, you
would come.”

“You don’t catch on very quick to the consequences factor, do you?”

“Life just wouldn’t be the same without a friend to flip
coins with.”

“What’s a dream when reality is so much better?”

“I won’t give up
on you.”

“In as much sorrow as you’ve had buried, you’ve helped open up a new world for another, and for that, you cannot feel insignificant.”

“It’s a lucky bloke that wakes up to the face of an angel.”

“When will I learn that you’re the medicine I need, not the cause of my ailment?”

“Don’t let that horizon get away
from you.”

“Oh, J…I thought I lost you, you big jerk.”

“What happened is a once blood-thirsty assassin found his place and reason in life.”

“I’ll always come back to mend the wounds. Because I care
that much.”

“Giving up on you is not even an option in my mind.”

“When you look into her eyes, do you see the world?”

“He’s a Henson… We always come back to what we love.”

“Now I have two candles to light
my way.”

“Never give up.
Never say die.”

“Leave all of what, Jason? This isn’t exactly Wall Street.”

“Your actions prove a love that I don’t
even deserve.”

“Oh great, so you know about my speeding ticket.”

“Don’t let her slip away, Hotshot, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

“You’re the only light in my world.”

“I’d flip a coin… but I don’t want to take the risk of losing.”

“I value what we have more than anything else in the world. I lost it for over eighteen years and I don’t want to do
that again.”

“I don’t know what’s happening to me, Jamie… but I think I’m falling in love
with you.”

“I won’t rest until we find him.”

“One day I’m gonna figure out how you turn me upside down.”

“No… he was the one that convinced us all he was nerdy.”

“You could be that jerk and I would still like you.”

“Fly… stretch those God-given wings and don’t let anyone hold you back.”

“You’re my rainbow after the rain.”

“And never has a white rabbit run so fast.”

“I promise I am not going anywhere. I’d be a fool if I did.”

“If you want to be Maid Marian, it’s fine with me. As long as I get to be Robin Hood.”

“Well… that was… intense.”

“I know I don’t plan on giving up on you, so don’t give up on yourself just yet.”

“Congratulations, but your sister is going
to kill you.”

“I thought I told you do dance near the flame, not set your engine on fire.”

“Look me in the eye and tell me you don’t love me.”

“I definitely like complicated.”

“I love you, Katie Pent. I’ve denied that fact long enough.”

“A real rainbow is whatever a person looks at. It doesn’t have to be what we see in the sky.”

“I’ll go through anything as long as I am by your side.”

“Welcome back to the land of the living. How about you stay
around this time.”

“I guess I just can’t live without you.”
