Cross -
He's not very romantic, doesn't say "I love you" very much. But that doesn't mean he doesn't feel that way.

This much is proven when he catches you singing.

I got no use for moonlight or sappy poetry. Love at first sight's for suckers - at least it used to be. Look, girls are nice, once or twice, 'till I find someone new, but I never planned on someone like you.

He smiles at the lyrics, thinking about how he feels about you.

(Don't come a-knocking on my door...) I got no use for moonlight or sappy poetry. Love at first sights for suckers. At least it used to be.

It's then that he realizes that this song is from a musical, and there are multiple parts.

'What are you doing?' 'Quiet down! There's a show going on!' 'You are the most impossible boy-' 'Shh!' '-ever."

And you are singing all of them.

No, I never planned on someone... like you.

When you finish, he laughs to himself, thinks about how lucky he is, and goes back to the van with a little smile on his face.

Dirk -
He runs into your apartment frantically, excited to tell you about a new development in the case you're working on.

But you don't hear him come in; you're doing laundry and listening to music...

My loneliness is killing me (and I) I must confess, I still believe (still believe). When I'm not with you I lose my mind. Give me a sign. Hit me, baby, one more time.

He immediately forgets what he was going to tell you and listens to you sing.

Oh, baby, baby, the reason I breathe is you. Boy, you got me blinded. Oh, baby, baby, there's nothing that I wouldn't do. It's not the way I planned it. Show me how you want it to be. Tell me, baby, 'cause I need to know now, oh, because...

He's shocked; partly because of the song, partly because he's never heard you sing before.

My loneliness is killing me (and I) I must confess, I still believe (still believe). When I'm not with you I lose my mind. Give me a sign. Hit me, baby, one more time.
