   Summary

   From moment to moment Jane felt their relationship shifting, at one they were best friends and the next something more. It reminded her of those old toys with a bird on one side and its enclosure the other and if you spun it quick enough the two images blurred and merged. As she and Garrus spun on the dance floor, their relationship, in all its aspects, blurred until there was no distinction between the edges of one thing and the other, it was just her and Garrus, together.
