In reply to: Skeeter 's message, "inside" on 11.05

(She smiled, glowing under his praise, her briefly touching his arm as he kissed her forehead. She was so immensely touched by his words that it warmed her inside, and she was blushing a little as she laid her hand against his and stopped him.) Just remember that she is a civilian, Skeeter.. she doesn't get intel on him.. she has no idea what is going on.. (She smiled then, stepping back and letting him do what he needed to do. She knew the difference now, between seeing her friends go on a mission from the inside and as a civilian.. when there was no intel it was damn scary. Skeeter.. well, he knew where Courtney and the others were twenty four seven, and he could contact them just as quickly.. of course it was easier for him. She lingered for a moment, watching him as he turned and walked back into the room, feeling suddenly and insanely jealous of Courtney.. although she wasn't all that clear on what their relationship was. As she walked back to the table and took her seat, she told herself that she had no right to care about his sex life, or his social life.. that she had reaped what she had sown and therefore she was on the outside.. he could do what he wanted.. but damnit, she still loved him.. and that was a hard pill to swallow.) (She hadn't been prepared for him to return, had figured she had made him angry enough to leave her alone.. and surprisingly, that hurt deep down and was part of the reason why she was crying. She hated that he thought her childish, that he had seen her like this.. that he would say such hurtful things about her brother.. about her. When his weight settled beside her, she sniffled and tried to stop crying, but when he pulled her into his chest, she made a choking sound in her throat and started sobbing against him, her hands clutching his shirt at his shoulders. Of course she missed Braden.. but infinitely more than that she was scared to death for him.. she had no idea where he was, no idea if he had checked in anytime recently, no idea if he was warm, or hungry or tired.. or lonely. She hadn't gone through this sort of thing with Keegan.. he'd always been invincible in her eyes.. he'd gone and he'd returned - always. And she had learned through the years to not fear for him, because he came back.. but then suddenly her life had flipped upside down and he hadn't come back.. and her trust in the system had completely disintegrated. She held onto Skeeter for quite some time, crying until she had no tears left to shed and then simply letting him hold her for a little while. Then she hauled back and socked him on the arm.) You big jerk.. I should tell him. (She said, her voice rough from crying. She sniffed and looked up at him, pulling back just a little to see him. Her brows were furrowed, and she looked every bit the scared young woman she was, too old to be a girl and too young to be a woman.. but obviously falling in love with a man that she didn't know how to handle yet.) But I won't, cause he will do a lot more than just have your balls.. (She said softly, then hugged him again.) I didn't mean to get so upset earlier.. it's just.. I was really scared and Gia was just.. being too nice to me and it made me more emotional and I didn't want to be and I got angry with myself. I don't want to be this girl.. I don't want to make him feel guilty for doing his job.. I just.. everytime I think of him over there I remember being told that Keegan wasn't coming back. (Her words were slightly muffled by his arm, since she had her cheek pressed to his chest and his arm was around her.)
