He leans into her touch, his expression gradually warming as a smile begins to pull at the corners of his mouth, as soft as his hand against her skin.

She's no longer limited to existing on a network, and he's no longer leashed to the LAPD. There's nothing to interrupt their time together now. And there's so much lost time to make up for, so many possibilities and new experiences awaiting them, he hardly knows where to begin.

But now she truly can.
