    Summary

    "Just admit that you missed me, woman."

    Suddenly, just like that, whatever argument they had months earlier was easily forgotten, easily forgiven. Neither of them had enough self-control to hold a grudge for that long, anyway. Their infatuation was too profound for all that, and they'd spend six years going back and forth, always trying to leave one another before they inevitably returned to where they started. Ada wondered how long it could continue this way. How long before he fell in love with someone else and she became a stranger in his eyes? Sometimes, that thought frightened her more than the world finding out about their entanglement, more than Leon being tortured by the government for shielding an enemy, or more than the hidden societies of bioterrorism deciding she should be dealt with. 

    There was nothing she feared the most.

    Or: Leon and Ada during one of their many (steamy) encounters after months apart. She's jealous, and she'll show him just how much.

    Summary

    “So…married. How’s that treating you?”

    He feels the cold, silver band wrapping around his ring finger on his right hand, obscured by his glove. It was a constant reminder of a vow he once took, of a promise he once crossed in his heart.

    “Classified.”

    Ada looks amused with his answer. “Relax, Leon. I don’t plan to sell intel about your marriage."

    Summary

    “I missed you,” he says emphatically, like she doesn’t know that, like that’s not the reason she’s here. She cups his face, thumbing the skin there. “I’m sorry.”

    Her eyebrows twitch faintly, and Leon’s skin feels raw at the way she looks through him. “Don’t be.” She says firmly. He mouth parts, expectant, and she drags her thumb across his wet bottom lip. “I’m not.”

    Ada comes when Leon calls.

    Summary

    “Who are you?” She could barely hear her own words as he gave her a gentle smile, the one which reminded her of 1998 when he had saved her and refused to let her go alone. But it was somehow more affectionate if it was even possible. 

    No, Leon did not look at her like that.  Not anymore. 

    “You know who I am, Ada. I am just not from around here…” he shook his head, trying his best to explain himself.

    Or, after a job leaves Ada injured, she runs into Leon in the middle of nowhere, except this version of him is nothing like the man she remembers from Spain.
