Summary
“You’ve seemed off since we saw that old friend of yours.” Shepard stiffened, making him vaguely regret bringing it up, but it was too late now. “Something you want to talk about?”
Shepard hesitated before letting out a soft sigh. “It’s stupid, honestly. She just… reminded me of something.” With a humorless smile in his direction, she delivered a line that sent a reverberating ache through Garrus’ body. “I used to be fun.”
Or:
In the process of getting her groove back, Shepard gets something even better.

Summary
Jane Shepard is a bounty hunter with a past she'd prefer to put behind her. A chance encounter with C-sec officer Garrus Vakarian presents her with an opportunity too good to pass up. Partnering up to allow Shepard better intel, and Garrus a chance at bringing in criminals outside the limits of C-sec's red tape, Shepard eventually finds herself confronting a ghost from her past, and unwittingly falling for the plucky young C-sec agent.

“You did watch me murder a Reaper with a gun, right?” she asked with a frown.
“A gun that directed an entire fleet’s worth of ammunition directly into its weak spot,” he reminded her. “I was kind of hoping we were at a place where you didn’t want the entire Quarian flotilla aiming a gun at me.”

Summary
Shepard looks around at the faces watching her, human and alien and reflective envirosuit plate, all her friends and coworkers and shipmates wearing a variety of concerned expressions, and braces herself for the inevitable. She sits down heavily in the space on the couch that she’s ushered towards, and sighs at length.
“Fine,” she says, scrubbing her hands over her face, “let’s just get this over with. I think I know what this is about. I know an intervention when I see one, and -“
“Actually,” Garrus says, calmly throwing something flat and rectangular toward her from where he’s sitting across from the couch. “This is a book club.”
