So, you’re subscribing to the theory that I’m the weapon. [ There’s almost a visual component to it; how tension eases from his body language, momentarily dissolving in Caitlin’s presence. Maybe the holiday spirit isn’t dead after all ] I appreciate that.

Reaching out, calloused fingertips move in a surprisingly gentle motion, gliding across her cheek, only to tuck a strand of brunette hair behind her ear ]
