Jay had had a very long day, a visit from his ex-wife who turned out to actually not be his ex because signed divorce papers - or lack there of - and a break-up with his current (well now ex) girlfriend. The day has been full of exes and all he wanted was a beer... or three. However at the bar he meets a woman and one drink turns into something much more, but they both agree it's just a one-night thing and they don't see each other again until about two weeks later when he has coincidental run-in with the same soft blonde curls at a crime scene. It's there he finds out one thing they didn't cover the night they met, she's also a cop, and when they end up working together certain previous encounters might come back into play, or can they keep it so it will stay as a one-night thing?

- alternate universe/canon divergence where jay and hailey met before 4x21 and then follows the canon timeline of season 5 onwards with a small twist -

- mentions of linstead in earlier chapters and upzek in later chapters -

Hailey and Jay had been married a month and were settling into that life well. There were still a few bumps they experienced as they grew accustomed to the new change but like most of the bumps they had come across in the past, they got over them without a problem. Accompanied with their two and a half-year-old daughter Macie currently in the midst of the so-called "terrible twos", the two of them have their hands full, especially alongside their demanding jobs and with Jay up for a possible promotion in the near future. But one hurdle gets flung in their direction without so much as a warning, one they weren't ready for as of yet - if at all - and it throws the routine they had built out of proportion entirely. - written in Hailey's POV - -- prequel to 'A Love Like Ours' --
