@SgtDarcyBudd < you re-evaluate your stance if you wish to stay on my team”
Good save.
She thought to herself, surprised at her findings, but, not in a bad way.
@SgtDarcyBudd < her thigh just lightly.
“I have to disagree, not that you will be surprised about that, our opinions have always...”
A breath hitched in her throat, hand skating over the very apparent bulge in the woman’s trousers -
“been complete opposites of one another. I suggest >
@SgtDarcyBudd < no one else would have known what it meant, but Darcy certainly did... The tips of her fingers skated carefully up the inside of her leg, focusing her attention back to the conversation across the table
@SgtDarcyBudd < focus was torn away from Julia to one of the pompous men opposite.
“God, I wish this drawl would be over. How are you holding up?”
She whispered, hand reaching for her thigh under the table -
“Hopefully we can get out of here soon”
She gave her a look, >
@SgtDarcyBudd < She shot her a wink, pushing herself away from the side with the sole of her shoe. It was almost by instinct, that she took Darcy’s hand and pulled her towards the door - Letting go, glancing back with an apologetic look when she realised what she >
@SgtDarcyBudd < “Thank you, sorry... I’m not usually like this”
She had forgotten about the dinner, she had been forgetting alot lately
“I should get you a pay rise, the amount you do for me”
@SgtDarcyBudd Julia realised then, she should not have been falling apart infront of Darcy. She sniffled, quickly wiping her cheeks with the backs of her hands and standing up straight.
“You are absolutely right, I’m just being silly”
She forced a smile, turning to face her >
@SgtDarcyBudd < together - but she wasn’t, her own mind was a scary place to be, especially alone. Though, when she felt Darcy’s hand on her shoulder she lifted her gaze, watching her face in the reflection of the mirror.
“I don’t think I can do this anymore”
@SgtDarcyBudd Julia felt broken. She felt like the entire world was against her, that no one believed in her... The tears the were rolling down her face had been a long time coming, she knew that, and oh... It felt better to finally let it out. Everyone thought she was so hard, so put >
@SgtDarcyBudd < Darcy with a face like thunder.
She’d had enough. She couldn’t keep doing this. Julia couldn’t remember the last time she had slept a full night, or the last time she looked in the mirror and didn’t see bags under her eyes... She pushed open the bathroom >
@SgtDarcyBudd The home secretary didn't respond to what she said, a smug look on her face as they stepped out of the lift together. She gave her a brief glance, that held a grateful smile as she pushed open the meeting room door - She only hoped this one would bring substantially less drama.
