I let her steal into my melancholy heart

Darkness Loves Light

No matter how the darkness looms around you - how much you've become the darkness - there's one bright spot in your life - a person who makes everything worthwhile. It doesn't really matter how they came to you. What does is that they stay. Whether you admit it or not, you seek comfort from them...and, perhaps, them from you, if you're in the same situation. So, whether you push them away, treat them right, or go so far as to worship them and put them on a pedestal, you don't want them to go now. You crave being with them, or at least being in their presence. Don't ruin this for yourself. After all, what would you do without your little ray of light? You'll do anything to keep them happy and loved. Anything. Respond to the meme with your character, canon, preferences, and, if you'd like, what position you're character will be in. Respond to others.

Alex definitely wouldn't call him a selfless man, but she also wouldn't call him what the rest of the paranormal investigators of the world would call him, something along the lines of the man without a heart. No, she'd seen it in him too much, and she'd seen it shatter after Coralee had gotten into a van and drove off again. It was one of the reasons that she cared for him so deeply, not that she would ever admit it. Alex Reagan's superpower, for better or worse was empathy, and in her eyes, he'd earned all of it and more.

Of course the more was the thing that would tend to get her into trouble. Half of their listeners were already certain that the two of them had already been hooking up for quite some time, and Alex had no intention of becoming any more of a laughing stock than her sleepnotes had already made her.

Still, it was something that she needed to remind herself of more often than she would have liked, especially when he looked at her like this and she had to struggle against the urge to either kiss him or slap him. Both things would be terrible for their relationship, and Alex was fairly certain that they would send him disappearing again for another three months. It was funny, for someone who knew how terrible it could be for the people who were left behind, Strand sure did it often enough.

Letting out a long sigh that ended with an overly dramatic puff of her hair from her face, Alex's anger faded to resignation. Instead she just rolled her eyes at him, but countered as she so often did with a terrible joke. "Well, if I die, I am going to haunt you through sheer force of will and you can give the million dollars to my heirs." Like she had heirs. Heirs for her were her parents and Nic basically.
