I really like this. I think I want to write it. But I'm filling about 5 things at the mo (none of them very fast). This might have just nudged its way to about number 2 on the list though...

Lestrade walked along the embankment, head down, hands in his pockets. It had been a shitty end to a shitty day.

He'd broken down and confessed, but that was a small victory compared to the life lost and those ruined.

"Please? You don't want this, not really. And if you do…well, I won't walk this way tomorrow. And I hope I won't be the one who has to stand with your mum and dad in the mortuary."
She slowly nodded. Lestrade reached out his hand and held onto hers, supporting her as she carefully clambered back over the railing. He sent up a prayer of thanks to a God he didn't believe in and climbed over himself.
"This way," he dug his hands back in his pockets, and felt the crumpled cigarette packet. He pulled it out, straightening the two cigarettes out a bit. "Want one?"
"You said it was your last one, before!"
Lestrade put one of the cigarettes between his lips. "You said you were going to jump. I had to do something."

At some point I shall have a massive coming out de-anoning session. Although this rather relies on me remembering which things I've written...and that doesn't usually go well! I'm a very forgetful writer...
Thanks though :)

She gave a small smile. "What's your name?"
"Greg. You?"
"Zoe."
"Pleased to meet you," he stuck his hand out.
She smiled and took it, shaking it.
