Word Count: 131
Summary: Though she wished for more, she would cherish what they shared between them as friends.

There were very few people in her life that Divya allowed past her barriers. The Lawson brothers, Raj, Rafa, and Paige, were a few of those people.

And there was Jill, with whom Divya couldn't -wouldn't- deny a secret possibility of wishing for something more. Perhaps something like a deeper bond to their friendship. Something that she knew her parents wouldn't allow within a foot of their plans for her future.

For now, it is Jill's laughter and smiles that warm Divya's heart and mind from day to day - a secret that she shares with no one and guards within the safety of her soul.

So she says nothing, instead choosing to focus on her work with HankMed while cherishing the strength and warmth of the link that they share. She can smile at her friend while quietly dreaming at night of the possibilities of something more.

Dreaming of a world where they could take the connection she felt with Jill to a deeper place.
