Tom wanted to shrug, but her chin was on his shoulder, so that just seemed rude. Instead, he just fell silent, leaning back into her slightly as he continued to stare at It...It. He'd given the goddamn thing a *name.* He was past this. He had been for so many years.
Maybe the reason it was back again was the explosion at work...going through that again. Or maybe it was the chin on his shoulder...maybe she was the one that could make it go away.
"Lisbon never happened." he finally declared after a moment. Turning his head to meet her eyes, which were now filled with confusion, he took a deep, steadying breath. "Back at APO...that night we were digging up the servers. I told you I'd been in explosions like that before...Lisbon and Copenhagen? Lisbon...I lied. It didn't happen in Lisbon, and it didn't happen when I was with the Agency."
