Summary: "It's like that now. Every time her phone rings and it's him, it's like he's throwing the door of her life wide and striding right in. It's exactly like that when he calls that morning, and she can barely even push a hint of feigned annoyance past the wide smile."
A/N: Inching forward again, this is set during Cops & Robbers (4 x 07) and Heartbreak Hotel (4 x 08)
