At around 7:30 p.m. Jack arrived at Gibbs' place, she stayed for a while in her car before going to knock, it was as if there was a wall between them again, after all that had happened...well, it was as if nothing happened between them. Jack wasn’t so sure she wanted to talk to him, but one way or another, they had to sort this out and the only way was to talk about it...after a while she finally felt ready to talk and went to knock at the door.
After a couple of minutes Gibbs opened the door and looked at her for a while "Hey...can I come in...?" she asked and looked at him, she was a bit nervous and he wasn't answering, he was just staring at her without an actual reason "Jethro?" she said but he kept staring at her as if he didn't hear her, she caressed his cheek trying to catch his attention but nothing...he kept staring at her. After a couple of minutes he finally let her in and they both sat on the couch "Are you ok?" Jack asked and looked at him "Yes" he replied, Jack was still a bit nervous, she thought about what she said to him while he was in the hospital before saying that, she was embarrassed and had to find the courage to tell him all that "I don’t know what happened between us but whatever it is, it created this whole situation of awkward and drove us away, do you remember what I told you at the hospital? Well, I’m sure you remember, and the only thing I have to say is that everything I said that day still counts...and ehm...don't forget it...anyway I ehm...don't want this situation to keep being so awkward..." she said and looked around, Gibbs got up and she got up too "You don't want to talk uh?..." she asked, he looked at her and here we go again, she tried to avoid his look. After some minutes she turned around and started walking to the door but he stopped her, she looked at him and he kissed her...and as when he kissed her for the first time, it seemed that time had stopped and all of a sudden everything felt so right...she wasn't feeling nervous anymore...that kiss...that kiss was magic...but after some minutes he stopped kissing her and she hugged him tight.
