16. Spark

Somehow, Boston was still living.

Slow moving cars passed them as the two crime solvers sat hunched over on the curb, the detective's head resting pathetically in her hands while the medical examiner looked out at the skyline where she could just see the outline of the cities tallest buildings. Little specks of light from windows twinkled back at her like artificial stars; they had sat there so long and so quietly that Maura had counted twelve lights that had been turned off for the evening, the rooms occupants going home to their families, their lives continuing presumably uninhibited much unlike the distraught pair of friends sitting in front of the dingy old apartment buildings.

Maura looked over at Jane like she had a handful of times before. She hadn't moved. There Jane sat, her head bowed low, her fingers clutching the curls of her hair and her knuckles white. There was a part of the doctor that wondered if she should be the first one to say something. It was not as though Maura wasn't aware of what she had done – no, Maura knew she kissed Jane. She realized it much later into the day she spent with Frankie, and she was sure that part of the reason that she had such a good time was in part because Frankie provided the necessary distraction that Maura needed. There was no need to dwell on what she had done, because she was not alone. But now there they sat, Maura's actions slicing through the already thin air, and she wasn't sure what to say or how to feel. Jane was just there. She wasn't saying anything. She barely moved. A few times she thought to check if the dark brunette was breathing, but deciding against the touching idea.

And what could Maura say? That she was sorry? She wanted to physically laugh at the idea. How would sorry even begin to repair the damage she had undoubtedly done to their friendship. There was a line in all friendships that was not meant to be crossed, especially when it came to something like this, when it came to two people of the same sex. She had thrown herself headfirst into an angry, brooding tornado – something Maura had never done before. No, Maura was rational. Maura thrived on logic, on sensibility. It was Jane that was head strong. It was Jane who did first, thought later. And now not only was a line crossed, but their roles reversed, and that added even more confusion to the overall situation, so Maura simply sat and stayed quiet, hoping that sooner or later Jane would say something.

And she did.

"Why?"
