A MATTER OF TRUST

Notes: Set after Heart Break. Set from both Gibbs and Ducky's perspective.


To experience an attraction first hand is so mind blowing that it takes your breath away. I mean, I had witnessed this phenomenon a number of times amongst my work colleagues, both male and female, but personally myself….

DiNozzo, dear Anthony, his face flushed with triumph like a stalking leopard who had finally captured his prey, a smile on his face like the cat who had got the cream. A visible pronouncement of his male superiority or more correctly his ability to be sucked in hook line and sinker, forgive me for being cynical.

Caitlin becomes mesmerised. I witnessed it with that terrorist Ari Haswari, she'll deny it vehemently of course, but to the trained observer it was there plain to see. That heart stopping moment when nothing else matters except the person you are with, when world could collide and it wouldn't register in your consciousness
