A/N: I'm trying. I really am. But every day it just becomes harder to write, and not getting the feedback I'm craving doesn't help either. If it's going at this rate, all factors considered, I might stop writing in the very near future. But that's okay, it's not like I had any other talents.

Also, I'm not afraid for the Marcus Pike storyline. And that makes me the rare 2% of the fandom who can't wait to see him.

Disclaimers: Nothing is mine.

'You love her'

He knew it was wrong. He knew he shouldn't be doing it. But still he did.

The tiny leaves of the palm tree scratched his face but he couldn't move in fear of being caught. His eyes were fixed on the couple sitting a few feet away from him, his heart breaking into a million little pieces.

They looked happy. His hand reached out several times to take hold of hers, stroking the top of it, her smile so blinding it showed her perfect teeth.

He had needed more time than she to move on from the past decade. And he hadn't been able to convince her to wait for him.

This time, Patrick Jane had lost Teresa Lisbon. For good.

A/N: Short, I know. No need to review this by the way.
