it’s a sweet moment thus you won’t find him complaining about the kink he’ll inevitably have in his neck from having to crane himself down to her height.

‘ I’ve lived a decade without you, and I hated it, don’t make me do it again, for good. ’

+ “ okay. “ he says simply. repeating himself, “ okay. I’ll—I’ll try harder at keeping myself out of the more… dangerous situations but, you know how it is, Glads. I’ve never made you a promise I knew I couldn’t keep. “

FP chuckles with amusement.

“ why ? “ he repeats. “ maybe because you’re accusing me of murder. you ever think of that ? “

‘ your response sounded almost defensive — why? ’

she leaned forward a bit in her chair.

‘ what aren’t you saying? ’

[𝗙𝗣𝗝 𝙄𝙄. @REASONTOBITE]

he’s truly the perfect mix of himself and Alice. but it’s faces like these that FP can clearly see the Alice so prevalent in him.

a head tilt, “ is my medium … better ? “

a look much similar to one his mother sometimes wore crossed his features — a “yeah, right” look.

‘ uh-huh, sure, medium. ’

a teasing smile.

‘ your definition of medium and others is very different. ’

tenacious, she is. truly a great quality of hers until it’s turned on him. then it’s less great. like now, for example.

shaking his head, “ where are you going with this, Betty ? “

[༝ ‍ ݁ ‍𝑆̵𝑊̵𝐸̵𝐸̵𝑇̵ ‍ 𝗕͟𝗘͟𝗧͟𝗧͟𝗬 ‍ .ᐟ @MlNDTERRORS]

‘ well I’d hope so. ’

she allows the small laugh to come out with the remark, but was serious once again.

‘ that doesn’t answer my question, Mr Jones. ’

FP mmchts!, smacks his lips together.

unseriously, he replies, “ like medium . “

[༝ ‍ ݁ ‍ 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧 ‍𝗦͟𝗠͟𝗜͟𝗧͟𝗛 ‍ .ᐟ @CRIMESINSIGHT]

heavily exhaling, he knew FP was right.

‘ I guess you’re right — it’s easier then you don’t know them personally, I do it all the time, but with family it’s not so simple. . . but how different are we talking? ’

[𝗙𝗣𝗝 𝙄𝙄. @REASONTOBITE]

a stare-off. eyes narrowed, unblinking.

he can’t help the widening of that grin when he says, “ you’re your mother’s child. that’s for certain. “

‘ yes. ’

“ contrary to personal belief: recklessness finds me, I don’t go searching for it. “ even so, “ it’s apart of the job, Glads. “

[𝗙𝗣𝗝 𝙄𝙄. @REASONTOBITE]

FP makes a face during her declaration of love. not because he doesn’t feel the same way but because it’s second nature for them to react disapprovingly at each other’s tales of affection.

she’s quick to scold him which makes him school +

‘ I know we joke around a lot, but I do love you— shut up, don’t make a joke right now.— and I worry, I really don’t want you going out and being reckless. ’

“ sometimes it’s hard to imagine

‘ I can’t imagine that. ’

he raises a brow at her line of
questioning, a small grin working
its way across his mouth.

“ are you implying i’ve committed
a murder, kid ? “

[༝ ‍ ݁ ‍𝑆̵𝑊̵𝐸̵𝐸̵𝑇̵ ‍ 𝗕͟𝗘͟𝗧͟𝗧͟𝗬 ‍ .ᐟ @MlNDTERRORS]

sighing, she tossed her notebook and pen onto the desk in front of her.

‘ let’s take you for example, though, you’re a gang leader - nevermind the sheriff - you’ve had to do some serious things in the name of the gang, right? ’

[𝗙𝗣𝗝 𝙄𝙄. @REASONTOBITE]

“ that’s exactly it, Betty. they’re
