You never could catch the moment when Pete Prior, your mom’s coworker son that you had to hand out whenever they were working on some case together turned into Pete Prior — your boyfriend, then Peter Prior — your husband. You became a Prior too then.
You always saw yourself following your mother’s steps, joining the police and APF. Working late hours and overthinking every case that happened in the damned Ennis.
But with Peter by your side it was easier. He knew how Liz could be, knew how much this work was taking of your life. How frustrated you could be when he was called by your mother to help her in the case or knew how irritated you were when it was you being called by her. You never shared a close bond with her and he knew that too.
It was a rarity for you to actually spend time together — despite being married. But God you loved him and you knew he loved you too. But dammit, you never thought your own mum — Liz f_cking Danvers, would be the reason why you barely saw the love of your life.
