For Karrin

dresdenforhireThere's a saying- when the going gets tough the tough get going to the little blonde woman with the cute nose and is even tougher. Not many people say that but it's definitely a saying I use. Well, I don't exactly say it out loud but I definitely think it. I think about Karrin Murphy for a lot of reasons but one of them is definitely help with the tough things. She may not pack a magical wallop but she doesn't need to. Plus she's not afraid to call me on being a dumb ass and that's a very important trait I look for when things are tough. Plus I can fit more gear in the Blue Beetle if she's the other person riding with me.
So that's why I was pulling up outside of her house unannounced late Friday afternoon. I needed help at the last minute for a rather unpleasant job and I knew Karrin Murphy well enough that I knew if she had to she'd cancel plans to help me. Not as any huge favor for me most likely but because she knew I wouldn't ask if it wasn't really important.
Unfolding myself out of the car I made my way up to her front door. I could feel the energy around the place, the magical barrier that all homes had. Of course hers was stronger than most, her grandmother having lived her and it being truly a home.
I stopped short of the door and used my staff to knock. I wasn't sure what types of electronics she might have on her or near the door since I was showing up without warning and I didn't want to fry anything important. I at least try to be courteous about that, especially if I'm going to be asking someone for help.

If I had said it during the sex I might have doubted myself a little but this was one instance where post-nut clarity made that easier to say.
I loved her. I loved Karrin Murphy SO MUCH. Was it a little terrifying? Yes, I didn't have the best track record with partners but then again who does? Your only successful relationship was always the one you were currently in. Granted "left for dead", "turned into a half-vampire then killed", and "was cursed into dating me" were probably worse than most people dealt with on the "ex" front that didn't mean it was going to end badly with Murphy.
Smiling at her I reached up and booped her on the nose, a totally cute gesture that couples in love totally did without one getting angry at the other just because she was tiny and had an adorable nose.
"I love you."

She was the last one to criticize someone about their past relationships. Multiple marriages that ended in failure of one kind or another and one of them was in the ground while the other married her sister. Which still didn't sit right with her but what the hell could she do about it? Not a damn thing.
"Glad we got that settled. But we're definitely doing this someplace more comfortable next time."
