Summery: A series of drabbles, tied together in their own sweet little ways, set after "Greed" and focusing around what should be known as the precursor to all things Nelric - the FLOWERS! I'm actually surprised I'm the only one doing something like this...
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
~*~ Lilac ~*~
It appeared one Monday morning, lying across her keyboard with a white satin ribbon tied around the stem. Nell's jaw dropped in shock when she saw the flower. It's so beautiful - and I didn't order one. Who sent it to me?
Her investigative skills firing up, Nell picked up the lilac and looked around for a notecard. Her surprise only doubled when she saw a small one bearing only four words, and no signature. For my first love.
A secret admirer? she wondered. A shy, excited smile uncurled on her lips. How strange. Something new.
She inhaled deeply and smelled the lilac's scent, an instant wake-up call for her senses. Heading downstairs, Nell snagged one of Hetty's glass vases (careful not to confuse it with her priceless cut crystal ones) and put the purple flower cluster in water. All the while, the little smile on her face wouldn't waver or disappear. No one had sent her flowers in such a long time (she didn't count that time she'd sent them to herself) that having one delivered in such a secretive way was sort of refreshingly intriguing.
But who sent it? Ah, the million-dollar question. It had to be someone in NCIS OSP, because nobody else came into the building. That narrowed her suspect pool down considerably, but now she had to wonder which of the hundred-odd men would send her flowers.
A challenge that she found herself eager to accept.
