Jane's looking at her, and she's looking at Jane, and the sun's going down, and the goddamn thing is that it's right there in both of their throats, but they can't say it.
They've always been hopeless at saying it.

It all started when she met Jane. Now she wants a home, one she's made for herself, one nobody can take away because it lives in her like a funny little glass terrarium filled with growing plants and shiny rocks and tiny lopsided statues. She wants Jane. She loves Jane.
And she doesn't know how to tell Jane any of that.

August looks at her, the summer sunset gleaming off her sunglasses and sparkling against the Manhattan sidewalk. The city moves around them like they're pebbles in a creek bed.

The second August lets herself really picture it is the second she can't pretend any longer, she wants Jane to stay. She wants to solve the case and get Jane out from underground because she wants Jane to stay here with her.

"You know, if you're going to go around being a whole metaphysical anomaly, you should have, like, control over your magical powers. You should be able to conjure things. Like a couch. That would be nice."
"Are you saying subway seats aren't good enough for you?" Jane teases. "This is my house."

Jane is, at the moment, blissfully unaware of her surroundings, and August can't resist. She edges up to her silently, leans close to her ear, and says, "Hey, Subway Girl." Jane yelps, flails sideways, and punches August in the nose.

Finally, a train pulls up, and August gathers her bags and stands at the yellow line like a nervous teenager picking up their prom date. The doors open. Jane is in the far corner of the train, one foot tapping along to the beat. August's heart goes unforgivably soft in her chest. That's her girl.

And she's got Jane with her, which she fucking loves.
It makes everything easier, makes her braver.
A Jane in her pocket. Pocket Jane.

"You haven't been in New York long enough to earn the right to be an asshole with impunity. You're still in the tourist zone." Wes rolls his eyes. "I am not a tourist. A rat climbed up my shoe yesterday, and I just let it happen. Could a tourist do that?" August says.

August has never truly had her heart broken before, but she's pretty sure that falling in love with someone only to send them back to the 1970's would, as first heartbreaks go, win the Fuck You Up Olympics.
