Spoilers: 9.15 Secrets

Summary: Ziva decides that inaction is the best course of action when it comes to Tony and Wendy.

 

 

Abby looked at Ziva over the top of her drink and asked “Soooo, what did you think of Wendy”

“I thought she was nice” answered Ziva noncommittally.

Abby huffed, took a long drink and stared Ziva down “That’s it? You thought she was nice?”

Ziva shrugged her shoulders and replied “I also thought she was a good match for Tony”

Abby widened her eyes and screeched “What?” Why would you say that?”

Ziva shrugged again “It is true”

“Well maybe nine years ago she was a good match, but not now. Ziva, are you seriously giving up that easily on Tony?”

Ziva sighed “Abby, it is not a matter of me giving up on him. I just refuse to be a part of squared love. That is all”

Abby pursed her lips in confusion, but when it finally came to her she understood Ziva’s missed meaning and answered “I think you mean love triangle and that’s not going to happen”

“I know it will not happen, because I refuse to chase a man who has feelings for another woman. It is that simple Abby. I will not stand in the way of Tony’s happiness.”

“From everything that I have seen Ziva, Tony is the only one doing any chasing and it’s after you. If you would just give him one indication that it might work between you and him; then I am sure Wendy would be out of the picture and fast.”

“And that is the problem Abby, I am not sure it will work between us. I know that we have feelings for each other – deep feelings, but I am not so sure that we can be a couple and partners at the same time. Tony deserves someone who is sure about their future together and Wendy can give that to him, now.”

Abby pouted and sipped from her drink. Seeing her friends obvious discomfort Ziva continued

“Let’s just see what Tony does with Wendy. I do not want to influence his decision in any way. If he chooses to try again with Wendy, I will be nothing but supportive of that decision. If on the other hand, he decides that he does not want to try again, then maybe I will be more open to letting him know what I feel”

“You’re playing with fire Ziva. You could get burned.”

“I know that Abby, but better me than him”

“You do love him, don’t you?”

Ziva considered carefully before answering “I do”

Awww ....

Now write Tony and Abby talking about the same thing!

[dragonheart]

you actually read my mind - because you know Abby is going run straight to Tony with that information. Only she is sneaky, sneaky in that way of hers.

[whiteink]

She is sneaky ... if anyone can get them together it's her!

Oohh that is lovely!! ♥

[dragonheart]

Thanks so much. That means alot to me.

Nice! This is exactly what I think Ziva would do. After all, it's what Tony did for her when Ray was still in the picture.

And I'll echo the other sentiments - I want to see what happens when Abby runs to Tony and spills!

[alidiabin]

Aww ... but very in character for Ziva in that episode.

I agree with everyone, Abby needs to share this intel.

I love this!

This was beautiful. Thank you for showing the reader the depth of friendship between Abby and Ziva, something the paid pros don't do nearly enough IMHO. This seemed very real, very possible and was a good addition to Secrets. Well done.

[dragonheart]

Thank you so much. I am glad that you enjoyed it.

I agree - we need to see more Abby & Ziva scenes - actually right off the top of my head I can't remember the last time we got a scene between just the two of them.

I am anxious, curious, dreading to see how the whole Wendy arc pans out.
