Summary
“Why do you smell like violets?”
Unfortunately, the question makes Maria sit up in surprise, pulling her away from his chest enough so that she can turn and face him. “How the fuck did you know it was violet?”
He laughs at her clear shock—he fucking loves when he can manage to surprise her—and attempts again to pull her closer. “What, a guy can’t know his flowers? Am I too macho to know my flora and fauna?”
“No, no, I just—I thought it was lavender.”
“Lavender? You don’t know what lavender smells like? Lavender’s way stronger!”
“Oh, excuse me. All my years in law, and I didn’t know it was a crime to not know the fucking difference between violet and lavender.”
“I’m just sayin’! They ain’t even related.”
“Oh, fuck off, they ain’t even related.” Maria’s imitation of his accent, as always, makes him huff out a laugh. “That’s what you sound like! They’re both purple!”
“The fuck does that gotta do with how they smell?”
“Fuck off, Tommy Miller,”
(maria and tommy discuss flowers, remember sarah, and say i love you for the first time.)

Summary
Maria pushes aside any positive feelings she’s had about this day and this man, meeting his eyes coldly. She tries not to think about how not even ten minutes earlier, Tommy was watching her scream for her life, dangling from a goddamn tree.
“This isn’t an invitation,” she starts, voice unyielding and stern. “We’re talking you to somewhere where our people can make a decision on you. So you’re officially on probation, Tommy Miller. You steal anything, you’re out. You fuck with anyone, you’re out. We find out you’re still with the Fireflies, and you’re dead. You do anything at all to put my people in danger, and I will make sure to shoot you myself. Am I understood?”
Shockingly enough, Tommy just smiles—it’s a small, soft grin, boyish aimed straight at her. Either he was left deranged from his injuries or a tried-and-true adrenaline junkie, because her threats only seem to intrigue him. “Yes, ma’am,” he says, voice deep and charming. “I understand you clear as day.”
(in which Maria meets Tommy, and Tommy meets Jackson)

Summary
Her father sat up even straighter, looking her straight in the eye. She remembers feeling that she would need to keep these next words with her forever, so she did:
“It doesn’t matter to me whether or not you’ll be great. You hear me, babydoll? I just want you to love it. Life’s nothing but hard work and other people, so you need to love what you do and who you do it with. You need to love how you live. If not, what you do just isn’t worth it.”a glimpse into Maria’s life Before and After 2003
