37.2- The early bird gets the worm

Feb 10, 2009 20:59

Unlike most of his co-workers, Nick had always been an early bird. He fit the policeman role well when it came to his sleeping habits: woke up early, slept lightly, didn't get enough of it, and relied on coffee for the rest of the day because of the combination of the four.

It's only been recently that he had been getting any actual sleep as of late. Not coincidentally, the change has come since Theresa's reappearance in his life. Oh, sure, he wakes up early still, and sure he still chugs coffee like there was no tomorrow. But nowadays, he actually slept, and slept fitfully. It was as if his guilt hadn't allowed him to sleep all this time, and knowing his conscience like he did, he wouldn't be surprised if that was exactly why he hadn't been able to sleep before her reappearance.

As a result, he's been more pro-active at work, speaking his mind in situations he would have been uncomfortable speaking at in the past. It has been a change that even those casual acquaintances had noticed, let alone his closest friends. Mere months ago, they had been concerned for his life. Now, they were estatic for him.

Who knows, maybe at this rate, he would gather up the courage to get what he really wanted out of life.

Her.
