"Cath, can I see you in my office real quick. I just remembered something from our case we need to go over."
"Can't it wait? I'm starved!"
"No, it can't."
They walked back to Gil's office. Catherine took her usual place sitting on his desk as Gil shut the door behind them.
"So, what have you got that couldn't wait till later? I'm starved"
"Just this." He opened his bottom drawer and pulled out a small box. "I didn't want to give it to you in front of the others." He handed the box to Catherine.
"Gil, you already gave me a gift, the monarch in a shadow box."
She opened the box and on the inside she saw an envelope. She pulled it out, curious to see what it contained. She grabbed the letter opener from his desk to open the envelope, knowing Gil anything could be in here. She pulled out two hard sheets of paper and began to look at them, shock registering on her face.
"Gil, what..why?" She stared at the two plane tickets in her hand.
"Because I wanted to. One week of whatever you and Lindsey can dream up. The two of you deserve it."
"Gil, I can't accept this. It's too much." Catherine handed the tickets to him.
"Yes, you can." He pushed her hand back, refusing to let her give back his gift.
"But why?" She looked deep into his eyes trying to figure out what had possessed him to do this.
"Remember that case involving the cult? You said you'd never been to New York. You just name the week and I'll make sure you get your vacation. "
