A hug.

They walked into the station, where Tatiana started why she was there.

She made her statement but did hold any charges. She claimed he was drunk and pushed her by mistake.

Jack didn't say anything but kept close to her later Mark was bought out of his cell.

"Why is he here ?" he asked.

Tatiana moved closer to Jack holding his arm, "His my fiance and he came with me so you could know that the next time you hurt me, he won't be so soft " she was trembling and tried to hide it.

Mark sighed, "I didn't mean to, my anger took over Tatiana but am sorry"

"It's okay, but please stay away from me now," she said feeling Jack's hold tighten.

"But, I still ...." Mark moved but Jack got in front of him.

"I think you heard her, stay away. Tatiana is my fiancee now so I have every right to protect her from people like you. So please if you don't want to see me angry stay away " Jack pushed Mark away and lead Tatiana out of the station.

They reached the car She was still holding his hand as they stopped in front of it. He could feel her hand tremble so he turned and hugged her.

Her stiff trembling body relaxed as he held her inside his embrace.

He knew she was pretending to be strong while facing Mark. He had been someone she trusted but he hurt her to the extent of the injury.

"Thank you " he heard her sniffing. Her hands moved slowly holding him tighter, "Hold me a little longer, please " she cried.

She had kept it in since last night, trying to pretend to be okay but she wasn't. He was someone she knew, trusted but he hurt her and didn't even flinch while doing it. It hit her that she was scarred when he appeared in front of her, the pain and fear from last night returned but Jack's hand gave her the strength to keep pretending until they left.

He didn't know how long he hugged her but didn't care. She pulled away wiping her tears.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

She nodded, "Yes, am fine " looking away.

His hand moved to her face pulling it close to his, gently he wiped away her tears. "I can hug you longer "

She smiled, "No am okay "

"Not even one more, I have a warm chest " he chuckled.

She giggled, "Thank you but am okay now "

He dried her tears and opened the car for her.

"Any plans after here, I noticed you're not going to work today," he said.

" Just going back home to continue my sleep "

"Then can I take you somewhere ?"

"Where exactly, right now I just want to go to bed," she said.

"But you just got out and after all that, let's go get some fresh air "

Tatiana couldn't look away from his deep blue eyes and smiled, "Okay ...but only for a few minutes "

Mark walked out of the station and saw Jack's car drive off. He had been watching them, while he hugged and embraced her. When had she got such a boyfriend after all the chasing and pressure he had put on her?

"How did you get involved with the Avil family, Tatiana? That you got their son as your fiancee ?" he wondered.
