what a life (Naturals One shots)

Day 18

Tanner slid the card through the reader and pushed into the suite him and Ronnie were sharing. His mind tried to stay on the case yet his thoughts kept going back to the plane. She winked at him, something she'd only do while they were married. He put down his suitcase on the bed and began to unpack when Veronicas distinct heels clicked along the floor as she walked into the room beside him.
"You gonna explain what that wink was about," he called with a playful smile, letting out a laugh as she audibly groaned from the other room. Over the past few months they had gotten a little closer, similar jokes had surfaced and Veronica had begun to loosen up around him. Tanner enjoyed it, reminded him of the earlier times, the better ones where she was sassy and spoke her mind through and through with no worry about the consequences that came later.
"I didn't mean to wink," he turned and saw her leaning against the doorframe, dressed in a loose sweatshirt and leggings. Her brown hair was loosely tied into a ponytail and her face was clean if any makeup, it somehow made her look even more perfect then she already was.
"Seemed pretty intentional," he said walking towards her, even though she stood at an impressive 5,9 he'd always been tall enough for her to rest her head against his chest whenever they were together. She hesitated for a second before gently settling against him. Then she pushed him away, for a second disappointment spread across Tanners face, the. She closed the door.

"Why are you guys late?" Judd asked as Tanner and Veronica quickly found their seats at the table, already meals were spread out for them to help themselves.
"We were working a lead, sorry" Veronica said, turning her head to reach for the water jug, revealing a line of small bruises that trailed down her neck. Judd rose a brow but didn't say anything as he pushed the rest of his past towards Sloane, who had been eyeballing the dish.
"I'm not hungry anymore, you finish it."
