Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.

JJ was not a stupid woman, naive sometimes, but not stupid. She didn't believe for a second that Emily had spent three hours at lunch with her father, nor did she believe that the simple silver bracelet was for her sister.

Emily hated lying to JJ. Of cause it didn't start off as lying, just not telling JJ that she was visiting Alex. Now, though, it was lying. Emily was making up every excuse in order to get the chance to spend some time with Alex. It wasn't an affair, well that's what Emily told herself anyway, the closest they had ever got to physical was a kiss on the cheek, or a tight hug. That's not cheating, or that's what Emily tried desperately to believe.

Will LaMontagne's phone call came while JJ was sitting on the couch, watching meaningless TV, trying not to think about where Emily was, or what she was doing. The detective's attention flattered her, and when he said he was in town JJ couldn't resist the opportunity to have a good looking person showering her with attention and complements.

Alex hated this, she hated being the proverbial other woman. She loathed how Emily would pull away from any gentle touch, guilt clear in those dark eyes. More than anything Alex hated that the same loyalty that made Emily stay with JJ was one of the things that had attracted her to the brunette to start with.

JJ had no idea where she was, who was next to her, or where her clothes were. Suddenly it came rushing back, Will, dinner, flattering, laughing, feeling like the only woman on the earth, the fine wine, and the invite to the detectives hotel room.
