Sometimes he wishes that he didn't even know her.
He wishes that she didn't smile at his jokes or stand up to him. That Hammond never had to give him a knowing look. That she didn't seemingly read his mind, or automatically know when to unclip his pack. That he didn't love her reaction when he pretended not to 'get it'; that he didn't love his *own* reaction when she joined him in the commissary - whether for cake, jello, or to discuss the latest mission reports.
But then she turns to him.
And smiles.
And he wishes for different things.
