Author's Notes: I went with movie verse but some of the characterizations will be a blend of the comic and movie. My apologies if the characters seem a little OOC. I've tried my best to stay true to them.
She had been so foolish to let herself fall for Dorian's song and dance. She knew their past history might pose a problem. She knew what an incredibly selfish and pompous man he had been and apparently continued to be.
'Wilhelmina Murray Harker, do you ever learn?' she silently berated herself.
"Are you okay?"
She stiffens at the sound of his familiar voice. This is the first time he has actually spoken to her without being around the others.
"Yes, I'm just a bit annoyed with myself."
"You couldn't have known that Gray would play us all like this. He seemed so disinterested. I never suspected him."
"That's right Henry, offer words of comfort and then when she is off guard swoop in and take her."
Jekyll mentally tells Hyde to be silent.
"I still should have figured he would pull a stunt like this. He was arrogant and selfish back then too. I'm beginning to think I'm just a poor judge of character," Mina says regretfully. She hadn't been able to see through the Count until it was too late. Her naiveté in that situation had cost her much. Her friends, her husband...her humanity.
Suddenly she feels a comforting hand on her shoulder. She looks up to see him giving her the most sympathetic stare. She feels her heart slightly flutter from the contact.
"We all make mistakes. For what is it worth I'm probably not any better at judging character," he says in jest. Giving her one of his quirky smiles.
"Kiss her you fool! She's yours for the taking!"
Jekyll ignores Hyde and merely gives her shoulder a slight reassuring squeeze.
"Thank you for saying that," she replies, giving him a genuine smile. "To tell you the truth I kind of felt that you had been avoiding me on purpose."
"I am sorry about that..." he starts but is cut off by her finger on his lips.
"It's okay. We both have our demons. I'm just glad we are speaking now."
He grabs a hold of her hand and gently pulls it away from his mouth. He can feel himself blushing with embarrassment as she lightly pecks him on the cheek. A stark contrast to the disgust that Hyde is feeling.
'Oh how romantic, I think I might just be sick!' Hyde mocks. Jekyll disregards Hyde's tirades because for all his complaining, Jekyll can feel Hyde's affection for Mina too.
