What's she Worth to You?

I step out of the shower and put a towel on.

"Hey," he peeks his head in, his hands covering his eyes.
"Bad time, or?"

"No, come on in." He opens the door all the way and steps inside. He takes me by the waist and pulls me closer to him.

"Do you really have to go? I mean, can't you just..." His sentence fades out and he places a kiss on my bare shoulder.
"Stay?" I sigh, laying my head against his chest.

"I wish I could, you know I do. But I told Brooke I'd be there when she woke up, and I'm not going to keep her waiting." He nods.

"Why don't you just call Jay and-"

"Are you high?" I pull out of his grip and pick my clothes up from the granite countertop. I drop my towel and start getting dressed.
"If anyone finds out about us, Jay will slit both our throats, and you know it." He sighs and shakes his head.

"Jay's a big boy, I think he'll be able to handle it." I shrug, placing a hand on his face and running a thumb over his cheek.

"I don't want him hating me, Will." I say quietly.
"I'm just, I'm not ready to lose him yet." I shake my head.
"And if Erin shuts me out I don't even know..."

"Naya, I didn't-"

"No," I pause.
"I'm fine... I'm sorry. I'll see you soon, okay?" He opens his mouth to say something, but I stop him.
"Please don't, I hate goodbyes." He nods his head and takes me by the shoulders.

"We'll finish this talk later, okay?"

"Okay, deal." He places a kiss on my forehead and I give him a quick peck.

"Tomorrow night?" He asks, and I sigh.

"I don't know, it all depends on Brooke."

"I understand." I raise my eyebrows.

"But I'll call you, okay, I promise." He gives me a look and I smirk.
"Pinky promise."

"I'll take you up on that."

Antonio stands at the board, looking at all the photos.

"There's got to be something that we're missing. This unsub has been loose for too long. This monster needs to be locked up." We all nod in somewhat unison and try to figure anything out.

"Our new Vic has all her memories, why not bring her in?" I stand up.

"If I may," I start.
"Every time we've brought Brooke in, something terrible has gone down, so instead of bringing her here, I'll talk to her from home and y'all can tune in. Deal?" Antonio nods.

"Sounds good to me."

Noah nods in understanding as I explain to her the plan.

"So are you okay with this?"

"Yeah, I think I'll be okay."
