The BLTS Archive - Once She Had Noticed: Christine by Fishey Me (fishey_me @yahoo.com) --- First in a series of three slightly longer-than-drabbles. *Disclaimer:* I don't own them.

No hemming-and-hawwing about some work related thing or the crackle of tension that always filled the room when they were left alone together. She placed the file down on her boss' desk, and he smiled at her, not bothering or perhaps not daring to disrupt this pleasant calm. The other man looked up to acknowledge her presence, but also said nothing more. She wondered if maybe things would change when she left; her presence always was a complicated one to deal with for Spock, and he suddenly seemed to find his report fascinating. She turned and left. After a moment she looked over her shoulder at the two of them. Then she noticed that McCoy's hand had fallen over Spock's and that Spock didn't even flinch, it was all Christine could do not to cry. --- The End
