It wasn't that she didn't want to date Connor, it was just that he was, well, Connor. Connor, with his atrocious dress sense and his terrible taste in music and his utter and total inability to do anything with a stove except burn water.

She looked over to where he was helping Stephen pack up the equipment they didn't need any more, voice ringing out as he laughed at something Stephen said.

"Abby, how's the ankle?"

She turned to face Nick, as he sat down next to her on the back of the truck. "Not too bad," she answered. "Could have been a lot worse if--" the words trailed off. If Connor hadn't been there.

Connor, who threw himself in front of a raptor when Abby's ankle had twisted. Connor, who'd been terrified but did it anyway. Connor, who always had her back.

"You okay?"

She started slightly as she realised that Nick had gone, off to help Stephen and replaced by Connor, who was looking at her with concern.

"Yeah, Conn, I'm good."

"Really?"

Glancing down at hand he had resting on his thigh, she slowly reached out, tangling her fingers with his. "Yeah, really."
