from most recent episode when abby interupts gallant and neela playing billards.
note: it's really nothing spectacular, i just wanted to put something behind those looks they gave each other. sorry that it's crap.
A few short minutes and awkwardness settles down like a heavy overcoat and suddenly, you realize it’s because of you. It had been months since she’d moved out, since you’d moved on…it hadn’t ended all that well but not bad enough that things hadn’t eventually gotten better. At this point, you thought the pain was behind you. But the sucker-punch you feel in your gut when she avoids your eyes and smiles at him across the billards table proves that you were wrong, once again. So you do the only thing you can do - you tell him again how much they all miss him, decide that you can just take care of whatever it was that provided you an excuse to go find her, paste on a small smile and say goodbye. In the end it had been her decision to leave you anyway and now you know why - because that far away smile you always thought was for you never was. It was for him, though neither of you really knew it yet.
