Summary
His right eye cracked open first, groaning at the sunlight pouring through the bare window. The left followed, pulling a figure into focus – a woman standing at his bedside, haloed in gold like the sun itself had chosen her. An incandescent spotlight.
Dark hair spilling loose, long and wavy. Fine-boned features with a hint of elfin, like she belonged half to this world and half to a storybook. A bowed mouth shaped like it had secrets worth keeping, and wide doe eyes men braver than him might gladly fight and die for.
“Mister Jane?”
Awfully formal even for a one night stand.
“Did we… sleep together?”
“What? No!” Her indignation hitched sharp, umbrage written plain enough that even through the fog in his head, he felt the sting.OR the one where Jane needs a bodyguard.

Summary
And a second later, his arms are around her and she smells his sour sweat and the hastily-applied deodorant that doesn’t cover it. Her body stiffens under his touch. Nobody but Katie and the boys hug her. To her relief, the hug ends as quickly as it started.
“What are you doing here?” Lisbon asks. It’s so strange seeing him after all this time. The boy she knew is trapped in amber inside her mind. She can’t quite understand that this is him except older.
And sadder. “I was told the Red John case was taken over by the CBI.”
Teresa Lisbon was sixteen years old when she met Patrick at a carnival on the outskirts of Chicago. Now, at thirty-two, Patrick reappears at her job, grieving the loss of his wife and child to serial killer Red John and completely oblivious to the existence of their fifteen-year-old daughter.

For one second.
She didn't want to think.
She just wanted to follow her instincts.

Summary
Jane stood on Lisbon's porch longer than was reasonable.
The paper bag in his hand felt heavier than it had any right to. Four cannoli. Ridiculous, really, that four fragile pastries could feel like proof of intent. Proof that he had come here wanting something.

Summary
As long as she’s in the detention suite with him, the mood is contained. This budding thing that he feels, ready to bloom and flourish and thrive between them, to drive them both into a new chapter of their lives, is still present. But if she leaves, if he can’t see her and watch her process these new changes, ready with the reassurance he knows she will need, he has no way to keep them on the right path. In two weeks, she could come back, determined to recreate their professional relationship. He can’t have that. He’s waited so long. The yearning is eating him from the inside, an insidious, hungry little thing that is calling now, now, do it now.
And Patrick Jane hasn’t gotten to where he is in life by not listening to the dark, covetous parts of his soul.

Summary
He studies her for a moment longer before he straightens, apparently content with the way he’s just ripped her worldview into pieces. Her mind is spiraling, and he’s already ready to brush it all to the side. “So you see, it’s just a few weak moments of fantasy,” he says, proving her right immediately. “Perfectly natural. So if we could head home-”
Oh no he doesn’t. This might be her one chance, and it might kill her, but if she can help him and have him for one night, can she really leave the opportunity sitting on the table?
No. The answer is no. God, does she hate herself this much?
“What if it wasn’t just fantasy?”
-
aka lisbon calls jane's bluff, and that's the beginning of the end.

Summary
A girl wants to hear that your body
and your wrecked soul ache
in need of her in the dark of the night,
when your subconscious conjures up her face
in the veiled realm between sleep and waking
losing itself in the desperate desire
to become one with her.A reflection in free verse on everything Jane never said out loud until Blue Bird—and everything Lisbon deserved to hear.
