1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little papercut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. VIOLATED. You've been violated in some way. Can include sexual overtones or not. Can someone help you through it?
19. STRANDED. You've been stranded somewhere remote, with no help of anyone finding you for awhile. Can you survive this together?
20. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.

[She smiles back, briefly.]

I could probably teach you.

[psychiccop]

I'd like that.

[He hesitated.] I know that our arrangement...hasn't been the best one but Allison...

I appreciate you.

[In her dream space. He swallowed and reached for her hand.]... I care about you.

[He exhales, reaching for her hands.] I want you to be happy.

[godelsolution]

[It's something that gives her pause, at least. Because she can't say she doesn't care about him as well. Because she does.]

You do?

[psychiccop]

[He hesitates and the scene shifts - back in the California house. Only Matt isn't younger, he's not wearing his policeman's blues. He looks very tired.]

...This is how much I trust you Allison.

...This is the inside of my head.

...Everything corresponds to my ...life. [His trade secrets, the things about the past that she doesn't know.] It's all open to you.

[godelsolution]

[She thinks about this, squeezing his hands.]

Because you care about me?

[psychiccop]

Because I care about you.

[He doesn't say love. He may never say love. He's not sure yet. He just knows.

Sleeping with he enemy indeed.

He smiles to himself before running his fingers over her hands. Massaging them gently.]

Want to see something cool?

[godelsolution]

I care about you too.

[She may never say love either, she's not sure if she could after John, after what happened to him. It doesn't mean that isn't what this is, does it?]

Yeah. Sure.

[psychiccop]

[The advantages of being married to a telepath. There's a pause and a snort - and then the door breaks with a thump and a thud to reveal a unicorn.

Soft to the touch with a horn protruding from it's head.]

[godelsolution]

[Okay, she was not expecting that at all, and the amused surprise probably makes that very clear.]

[psychiccop]

[sometimes he can be funny. The unicorn, sensing that clops towards her, nosing at her shoulder with it's horn in front of her face.

Matt for his part is grinning.] ...Once I figured out how to do that I'd just drag people to magic mountain. In my dreams.

[godelsolution]

[A laugh, then.]</small. Maybe you should do that more often.

[psychiccop]

...Well I don't have anyone to go with besides you.

[godelsolution]

We could go.

[psychiccop]

[He may have been hoping for that. His hands slide into his pockets.]

...I'd like that Allison.

[This is progress early in their relationship he just called her Dr. Godel.]

[godelsolution]

[A name she'd given that hadn't even been real. She wondered if he knew that.]

Me too.
