Danny sighed softly as he glanced over at the clock in his SUV, his fingers sliding down the center console to switch the song on his iPod. The Killers. Nice.

She settled in against him and smiled. Lindsay was going to miss him this weekend, sure. But, as a friend. Because there was nothing else between them. Right? "Stay out of trouble while I'm gone, because I don't think Casey'll bail your ass out of jail," she said, poking him in the ribs.

He swore under his breath, his thumb stroking her cheek as he growled, "Oh for fuck's sake, Lindsay.." Shifting closer, he leaned in until he could capture her lips in a hard, almost brutal kiss in what he figured was a futile attempt to get her to realize that no, it wasn't past tense at all.

She jumped when she felt him move, felt his mouth hard on hers. Wanted nothing more than to kiss him back, taste him, feel him, lose herself in him. But she was angry and hurt and upset and so she kissed him back, biting at his lips and tongue and beating on his chest with her small yet ineffectual fists before wrapping his jacket around her hands and pulling him against her.

He swallowed hard and squinted at the clock. "Shit... Yeah, you did." He ran his fingers through his hair, starting the car up again. This is why they left early. He should have been paying attention. "There more trains tonight? Or am I driving you to Boston?"

"You sure you don't mind? You don't have to," she said softly. Wouldn't have been surprised if he did leave her there, since she'd said some awful, hurtful things to him.

He bit his lip gently and glanced in her direction. "I told you I was gonna stay, I'll stay. I don't got anywhere better to be." Wanted to prove he could keep his word. Even if he was still shit at keeping his temper.
