Numb3rs (Don/Liz) [Week 1, Prompt #7] Title: Damages Author:andwhenwespeak Rating: G Word Count: 110 Summary: Don is broken, Liz knows.
Liz, wonders, sometimes, how Don got so damaged. His family seem stable, perfect like something from a television show and, from what she's heard, there's only the average amount of averagely traumatic break-ups in his past.
There's the job, of course, but there's something about him, about the way he's broken, that goes beyond that. It's like he's lost something, somewhere along the line, some essential piece of him, of his heart, is gone, has been torn from him.
And maybe he's beyond repair, past fixing, but she doesn't mind, she doesn't, because even part of Don Eppes is better than all of most men but, still, she wonders.
