Prologue
Lisbon let out a sigh of relief as she pushed open the front door to her house; it was good to be home. It wasn't that she didn't enjoy her work, she had once been described as monomaniacal due to her dedication to the job, but it had been a long week and she was looking forward to relaxing.
She placed her keys on the table by the door and smiled as she saw the little paper frog that was there. Although it was childish Lisbon had decided to keep it. Jane had given her many presents since he had started working for CBI but they were very rarely ones she could actually keep. The frog however, unlike the necklace and the farmyard animals was a small pleasure Lisbon allowed herself. She would have kept it at work but didn't want Jane to read anything into it so she had left it at home. It made her smile every time she saw it.
Lisbon headed straight for the kitchen and poured herself a big glass of red wine then she went into the sitting room and slumped down on her sofa. She kicked off her shoes and curled her feet underneath her and switched on the TV. It was good to be home.
