A/N: Okay, this idea came to me while I when I was about to go to sleep the other night so here goes nothing…

Prologue - 2004

Vanessa Law 's life was going the way she had always wanted she had left her small town of Hamlin, Texas behind and was looking forward to the life in the big city.

"Oh, excuse me, I didn't see you. I am so sorry" Vanessa said as she looked up into the most beautiful pair of blue eyes she had ever seen.

"Not a problem. If ya don't mind me asking you're not from New York are you?" said the man with an accent that made her smile.

"No, I'm not, I'm sure I stick out like a sore thumb around here. I'm from Texas." Vanessa said.

"How long ya been in town?"

"About a month, but I still haven't seen anything."

"Well you are in luck; I give tours on the city on the side" smirked the man.

"Really now?" Vanessa said with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, where are my manners, I'm Danny Messer." Danny said as he held out his hand.

"Vanessa Law." Vanessa said as she shook Danny's hand.

"So what do you say to a tour?"

Vanessa looked at him for a minute then noticed the badge and gun.

"Well, I guess I couldn't be any safer with you seeing as you're a cop and all." Vanessa said with a laugh at the look on Danny's face.

"Yeah, I'm off duty right now so what do you say?" Danny said giving her the best puppy dog look he could.

"Sure, why not?" Vanessa said as she took Danny's arm.

That was the start of the relationship between Danny and Vanessa. It went wonderful for 6 month. Aiden and Don had teased him about it, but Danny didn't care. Vanessa was a God send in Danny's eyes. With her long brown hair and hazel eyes, not to mention she could give as good as she got nothing could go wrong.

Then Vanessa started to pull away from Danny. Not taking his phone calls and always being busy when he stopped by. Finally, Danny couldn't take it anymore.

"Vanessa, what is going on with you?" Danny said after he had finally gotten her to meet him for lunch.

With a deep sign Vanessa repeated the speech she had prepared for days. "Danny, I'm sorry, it's just not working out for me here. I'm going back to Texas at the end of the month. I can't take living in the big city. Too many people too much crime."

"What about me? I'm not a good enough reason to stick it out?" Danny said starting to get upset with the situation.

"I'm sorry Danny, so sorry" with that Vanessa ran out of the café and out of Danny's life.
