Title: Victory Is Hollow
Author: Darby Brennan
Fandom: The Professionals
Pairing: WAP Bodie/Raymond Doyle
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Summary: Set after Involvement. After Ann walks out of Doyle's life, it's Bodie who is left to pick up the pieces.
Challenge: #22 - 'Raw'
I never liked her.
I never thought she was right for Ray.
I always reckoned she'd hurt him.
I was right.
She did.
She bloody well did.
She walked out on him. Left him.
He's hurting. So much.
Always wears his heart on his sleeve, does my Ray.
Always feels things deeply. Told him more than once not to. But he won't change.
His feelings now are raw, deep, intense, brutal.
I knew she'd hurt him.
I was right.
She did.
And once again he's mine.
But my victory's a hollow one.
Because it came at a price: his pain.
