"Of course, Ashley. I didn't have a choice in how my life went. I'd never stop anyone else from choosing their own path. It's your life, you gotta live it how you want to." -

"I know that you're not gunna change your mind once it's set. And we do make a pretty damn good team."

He speaks softly, reaching up to brush some wet hair from her face with a tender thumb.

He suddenly turns her in the shower so she's facing him so he can stare into those pretty green eyes.

"It's not something I'd want for you. But it doesn't matter what I want. You're right, though. Your life will never be normal again. Whatever you decide, just make sure it's what you really want. Do that, and I'll be with you -

It was true she could hold her own. And if you had told him that someday that dorky little cop would become the USA's secret weapon against bio-terror, he'd have thought you were smoking something.

But still...

"This... isn't about your ability, Ash. This life it's just..."

"Nah, you need to keep things as normal and calm as you can. Boring is good. It's safer."

"Let me get this straight..."

"You're the one that's rethinking your very normal, very everyday life? C'mon, sweetheart."

He lets out a little chuckle, hands continuing up and down her -
