❛ You think you’re okay and then something just brings it all back. ❜ {Any Frank}
the strong scent of coffee permanently planted inside the cruiser, their very own signature aroma coursing through his veins, and his lungs. the air was illuminated as neon signs lit the scene. old brick and cracked asphalt lined the neighborhood they were stationed in for the night and there was no way around the nostalgic pull of the early autumn air. - ‘ you think you’re okay, and then something just … brings it all back ‘
“You know- it’s okay to not be okay.” Frank responded, looking over at her with narrowed eyes as if they could assess the damage she’d gotten too good at hiding. His arms crossed over his chest and he bit his lip mulling over thoughts, never really knowing what the right thing to say was- Most of the time he wondered why anyone bothered with him at all; but nonetheless here they were, and he felt like he was on the verge of something. maybe it would only be a small truth, as to what it was she had going on beneath her carefully masked features. He remembered his first months here, how little things would remind him of something, or someone. A case would come to their desk, a family or someone who looked like someone he once knew; and how it seemed to be that way for her, too; Life didn’t come with trigger warnings.
“What was it?” He looked down as he leaned further back in his seat.
