Reflections on the year
New Years Eve Reflections: Over the last year, did things go pretty much as you'd expected or planned, or did your life take a significant, unexpected turn? Overall, was it a good year or one that you want to put behind you as fast as you can?

Hmmm…this past year’s been great.

Oh, sure there’s been the usual stuff with work. Cases we lose that we should have won. Cases we won where if I’m being honest, I have my doubts that we got the right person. Pleas I’m not so sure we should have made. Mistakes I know I’ve made just because I’m human. And then there’s all the crap with Mac and my mother. I highly doubt that’s going away any time soon. Especially now that I’m with Jack.

Jack. He’s what’s made this year worth all the crap. Just to see his eyes twinkle. To feel his arms around me. To discuss substantial stuff and see that ever when we disagree, we still manage to come through it together. Yes, I was really hesitant about getting involved with him. I freely admit it. And he knows it. But from that first kiss…

Yeah. He’s made all the crap look little.

Jack McCoy. I love him.
