Hopelessly Devoted To You

Season Five

Under The Gun- 5x9

"You really brought a gun," Danny chuckles as he looks down at the gun on the table.

"I didn't really know what else to do. I didn't know you were so mad at me." Linda says quietly.

"I wasn't mad at you. I was mad that that happened to you."

"You were misogynistic. You don't let me do anything."

"Linda, I don't need a lecture on women's liberation," Danny pushes her short hair behind her ear, bringing her lips to his.

She smiled as she pulls away just enough to talk, "you make an interesting case, Detective."

He smirked, lowering her to the couch.

Baggage- 5x11

Linda's hands shake as she pulls out her phone. She dials the number, taking a deep calming breath.

"911, what's your emergency?" A female voice answers.

"Hi, my name's Linda Reagan. I just witnessed a bank robbery. There were- are you ready?"

"Yes ma'am, go ahead."

"There were three perpetrators. A white female, five-five, five-six. She had a bun; male, white. Six-one, six-two, uh, there was a scar on his wrist. Another male, white, bandage on his neck... you got that?"

"Yes, thank you ma'am. Where are you?"

"At the bank on fifth street in Manhattan."

Home Sweet Home- 5x12

"This is nice," Linda says, looking around at the restaurant.

"Yeah, it's nice."

"I'm glad we can spend time together. Seems like it's been a while."

Danny nods, "I really thought the apartment would be okay... not only was it a stupid idea, it was filled with hookers and married guys."

"I hope you ran soon as you saw that."

"Of course I did. You know you're the only one for me."

Linda smiles, picking up her wine glass. "And don't you dare forget it."

He runs his thumb over her hand, "never."

Love Stories- 5x13

Linda sighs as she chews her chocolate slowly. "Oh, that's so good. How can something this great go out of business?"

"I guess you were the only customer," Danny steals a chocolate from the bag.

"Hey!" She holds them out of his reach. "You tracked down the man who made these just for me, because I love them so."

"And whatever is yours, is mine, so share." He tries for grab some.

"No!" Linda giggles, scooting away from him.

"Sharing is caring."

"And I'm sharing and caring for myself!" She pops another chocolate in her mouth.

"Linda?"

"Hm?"

Danny kisses her before she can protest, stealing the chocolate from her mouth. "Share."

The Art Of War- 5x22

Danny paces the hall of Saint Victor's Hospital. He looks at his watch, 8:15. He's biting his tongue so hard, he's tasting blood. But he doesn't care, he just cares about Linda. He can't remember the last thing he said to her. Was it goodbye? Did he yell at her? Did he tell her how much he loves her and what she means to him? He shakes his head, I gotta get outta here.

Danny's breath freezes in the chilly night air. He wants everything to go back to normal, when Linda is alive and breathing and smiling in his arms. But he can't think like that. Linda is alive, he repeats over and over.
