summary: It almost didn’t seem real -- that he’d finally, finally, told her, that he’d kissed her -- that she’d asked him to. After the mess he’d made of everything, all the self-sabotage and self-loathing and other self-inflicted pain, the solution boiled down to something as simple as coming clean to her. A missing scene fic, starting after the S6 finale study room kiss.
excerpt: Jeff spent the rest of the weekend going about his usual routine, which largely consisted of high-impact workouts and smooth glasses of single-malt. (He doubled the former and cut back on the latter to make up for the ice cream he’d eaten on Saturday.)
Monday was usually his rest day but he woke up feeling restless, so he went on a long run down by the river, blasting some random Spotify playlist in his headphones and definitely not thinking of Annie.
Except he was thinking of her. Constantly. It was becoming a problem, really.
