two people's agreement

After everything calmed down, Dani opened her eyes and lay quietly in Hodge's arms, her eyes empty, like a lifeless doll.

In the silent darkness, listen to your broken heartbeat.

After abandoning everything, I became more aware of my own heart.

There is nothing in this world that belongs to me, nor will it belong to me, after all, I have never belonged to this world.

On the far shore, that small city has a temperature and taste that she has never forgotten.And the laughter and tears engraved in my heart.

Those familiar faces jumped in her mind, and she reached out to touch them, expecting the temperature that was about to be forgotten.

Then there was that young face from years ago, softly telling her it was her sister's face.It overlapped with the face that had been accumulated over the years behind him, and merged into one, telling her the same words.

She laughed, mocking herself deeply.

The gloomy night finally ushered in the dawn of dawn, and only she knew what she had lost in this normal night.

When the first rays of sun shine in the morning.

She looked at the piece of blue as far as she could see, and she had a choice in her heart.

The confinement that has been around the waist is no longer tight.She got up and got out of bed, regardless of whether her actions would wake up the sleeping man behind her.

Hodge opened his eyes with a frown, the aftereffects of the hangover were taking place in his head, his thoughts were a little chaotic, and he couldn't understand the warmth of leaving his hands for a while.

Then, wake up instantly.

Looking at the naked back with long hair in surprise.

Dani? !

Knowing that he was awake, Dany didn't stop to pick up the scattered clothes on the floor and put them back on one by one with her back to him.

Looking at her movements, the memory of how each piece was taken off came back.

How did he force her to satisfy his desire when she was crying and struggling, and he was still talking about Hai Li.

Those memories reminded him of how cruelly he treated the woman in front of him.

"Danny, I..." I'm sorry.

Hodge didn't apologize, and apologizing at this time would only hurt her again.

Dani, who was already dressed, turned around, her calm gaze made it impossible to understand her emotions.

Time passed by second by second, and Dani still stood there without any movement.

Hodge sat there, not knowing what to do.

"Danny, give me some time, we need to talk."

Dani walked out quietly, leaving Hodge uneasy.

I need to calm down!Hodge said in his heart.

When Hodge got dressed and came out, Dany was busy with something in the kitchen with her back to him.

As far as I can remember, the time she stood in this kitchen seemed to be much longer than her own.

In fact, he still hasn't figured out how to deal with the relationship with her.Overnight, the sister he had identified became his pillow.

He stepped forward, took out an egg from the refrigerator and handed it to her.

She didn't say anything, took the egg, tapped it lightly on the table, and moved her hand over the hot pot.

The bacon on the other side of the pot is almost cooked, giving off an attractive color.

With a movement of both hands, a yellow heart wrapped in transparent egg whites fell onto the black surface of the pot.

The bottom layer quickly turned white and made a sizzling sound.

Ready to turn around and get another one.

And it's already there.

He reached out and took it from that hand, repeating the action he had just done.

Then take a spatula and be careful not to let the eggs stick to the bottom of the pan.

She focused on it as if it were some precious and fragile item.

Finally, when the dinner plate was served on the table, Dani didn't say a word, there was no emotion on her face, and there was no wave in her eyes.

How much Hodge wanted to hear her show even a little emotion at this time, or say a word.

He had always known that Dany was different to himself than to others.

The loneliness in her eyes from time to time, just like when he saw her for the first time, made him want to love her more, take care of her, and help her block the ups and downs of the outside world.

Don't let her make that look that I don't belong in this world again.

But that was all. He had never felt the throbbing with her like the first time he saw Hailey.

Hayley is his lover, his wife.

And Dani, compared to her younger sister, is more like her most indispensable family member.After 13 years of separation, this lack of emotion has not diminished.

But now, the one who really hurt her was herself.

Looking at her who was eating breakfast quietly in front of her, she was strange and familiar.

This is her in the eyes of the world, not in her own eyes.

He was very disappointed when he heard the word "Hodge" uttered from those pink lips.In this world, there is one less person who calls himself "Alan".

Now, is he driven out of her world by her again?Just like 13 years ago.

"Danny," whispered her name softly.

How can I keep you after hurting you?

In the end, Hodge didn't say a word.

After Dani ate the sandwich she made, she thanked her and turned to leave.

Only Huo Qi was left, struggling in place, not knowing where to go.

Hodge had already expected the result of the momentary hesitation.

She never took the initiative to step into her own life again.Even if we meet, we just nod and say hello.

In the past, I listened to her narrate what happened to Reed recently, but now I have to know her recent situation through Reed.

Jack has also asked her many times, and misses her Chinese desserts.

In the end, the girl walked out of his world again without looking back.

She had seen Hodge struggling and hesitating that morning.

So with a broken heart, she once again left the world with Alan Hochner.

Her countdown continues.

"What's the matter with you recently?" All the colleagues in the firm were asking her this question.

"What's wrong with me?" Dany always asked them back with a smile. "Could it be that you found out that I just had my nose done?!"

You are not very fond of laughing.This was the voice of everyone, but no one dared to mention it in front of her, including Li Yunhao and Song Yining, who had always had the best relationship with her.

As for Reid?He hadn't seen Dany enough now for him to find out about it.

Dani, who had just perfectly infected the jury in court, was accompanying her client, waiting for the final verdict.

Seeing multiple missed calls displayed on his mobile phone, he clicked open in doubt.

All from one person.

Alan Hotchner.

When Dany was hesitating whether to dial back the past, it vibrated again.

The name shown above is still the same.

She walked to a secluded place, swiped lightly, and put the phone to her ear.

"Hi!"

"Hi! Dani, there is something I think you should know." Hodge's voice was full of worry that cannot be ignored.

"What happened?!" The tact in his words made Dany very uneasy.

"Reed, he is in the hospital now."

Dany stopped breathing, Spencer!

"What's up with him?"

Hodge was still a little hesitant to tell her that Garcia had just said that Reed's condition had deteriorated in the ambulance and he had difficulty breathing.

His hesitation made Dani instantly understand that it must be a big deal!

"I'll be there right now! Where is he now?"

"××× Hospital, you can go to Dr. Kimura." After hearing what he said, Dani hung up the phone.

After handing over the follow-up matters to her assistant lawyer, she hurried to the hospital.

When she got there, she felt even more serious.

The entire hospital staff worked intensely, with a little anxiety in their eyes.

"Hello! I'm looking for Dr. Kimura!" She asked the front desk, and the nurse pointed her in the general direction.

Dany saw the eastern face standing there, and walked forward quickly.

"Is this Dr. Kimura? I'm a friend of Spencer Reed's."

The female doctor with long black hair was smiling to calm her anxiety.

"He's fine!"

Hearing this, Dani breathed a sigh of relief.

"It will take another two hours for the anesthesia to wear off, and he is still in a coma."

Dr. Kimura took her to Reid's ward.

The big boy who had always been strong and well-behaved was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed.She let out a long breath, and her impatience calmed down.

"He is a strong and good man, you have a good vision!" Dr. Kimura said suddenly.

Once Dani was stunned, she also understood that Dr. Kimura had misunderstood. "You misunderstood. I am his sister, not his girlfriend."

Dr. Kimura smiled awkwardly.

"However, I can say it again to his girlfriend in the future." Dany smiled and circled back. "I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Danielle Walker, please take care of me when we meet for the first time!"

The last sentence is Japanese.

Kimura's face beamed with joy, and he shook her outstretched right hand back. "I'm Megumi Kimura, nice to meet you! Your Japanese is pretty good."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Sometimes, a woman's friendship begins with a few simple glances.

After chatting for a few words, Dr. Kimura was called away by the nurse, and only Reid and her were left in the ward who were still sleeping.

After a while, Garcia, Morgan, and Hodge, who was walking behind, came in.

"He's fine!" Dany stood up and hugged Garcia, who seemed to be in a bad mood. "Don't worry! He'll be fine soon.

Morgan and Garcia walked over to Reed's bed, and Morgan comforted her repeatedly.

Dani walked out of the ward, and looked at Hodge expressly before going out, and Hodge followed her out.

Dr. Kimura happened to come over to make rounds, and saw the weird atmosphere between the two of them unexpectedly, but didn't say anything.Continue to walk in, finish checking Reed, and explain Reed's situation to Morgan and Garcia.

"What happened?" Dani asked the same question she had on the phone before, and she also asked Dr. Kimura.

Hodge looked into her eyes and told her about the anthrax incident.

Downplay the danger they encountered.

After listening to Hodge's simplified version, Dani didn't know whether to scold the person in front of her, the country, or that crazy pervert.

"We almost lost him today, didn't we?" she asked Hodge with red eyes.

"Yes, but he's back."

"So should we be thankful?!" Dany muttered to herself.

The unconcealed sadness in his eyes made Hodge want to hold her in his arms.

Thinking of their chaotic relationship, but still hold back.Walk back to the ward with her.

"Badygirl! Don't worry, I've been here all the time, and I promised Reed would be here with him." Morgan asked Garcia to go home first. They had been busy for a long time and needed to rest.

"OK, call me again if you have anything to do." Garcia was about to go back, after all Kevin was still waiting for him.

"I also need to go to Reed's house and get him something." Dany stood up.

"I'll see you off," Hodge also stood up and left with them.
