A/N: Hi! This is my first fic in a long, long time and my first R and I. The story came to me over the last few weeks. Lots of time spent traveling means lots of listening to music and reading fan fics. Which inspired me to create this fic. I can't promise daily updates but I hope to stay regular with them. This story is not A/U but will have a few differences in the characters from the show. I encourage reviews. I can take criticism, but please be nice while giving me advice.
I own no characters or songs.
Prologue
Maura crossed the empty guest bedroom, a smile tugging at her lips. She slowly sat in the overstuffed plaid chair that Jane had placed in the corner. The truth was, Maura loved this chair. She would never reveal that to Jane, because, well it was bulging at the seams. Too many patches and repairs to count. But Maura could not deny the comfort of it and right now and as the first notes of music drifted through the air Maura was happy to sit and relax in her favorite chair.
She closed her eyes, the smile still playing on her lips. The blonde had always been awkward. She knew it, everyone else knew it. She was never much into pop culture, hardly ever knew what anyone was speaking of when they discussed the latest reality show. Oddly enough, however, Maura loved music. Classical, of course, but country, pop, even some rap. It was an odd appeal that she wasn't even sure if she could explain. Often times the songs would remind her of moments throughout her life that made her smile. Right now she was content. Right now she was happy. Right now she knew her life was becoming the life that she had never dreamed of, but deeply always yearned for.
