Sooo, this is a 5 valentines fic and the other parts will be posted as I go :)
As usual the Closer doesn't belong to me.
She found the small slip of card tucked neatly underneath the corner of her laptop. She would have missed it completely if she hadn't had to go back into her office to snag her glasses when she accidentally left them behind in her hurry to get out to the scene of a police brutality complaint in a timely fashion.
She pulled it free from the laptop and glanced at it, her eyebrows knitted in the smallest of frowns. Scrawled across the front in handwriting she didn't recognise was her name; not her rank or even her last name, just 'Sharon'. She flipped it open and tilted her head to the side in confusion at the three words that were scribbled inside.
'Desk. Bottom drawer.'
She stared at it for a few moments before turning the card over again in her hands, checking each side for a signature. She didn't find one. She chewed thoughtfully on her lower lip, dropped the card back onto her desk and sat gracefully in the chair behind her desk. She swivelled the chair slightly and bent down to open the desk drawer cautiously; unsure whether to be worried that somebody had been inside her office and looked through her drawers without her, or anyone else for that matter, noticing.
Her fears flew from her mind when the drawer slid all the way open and her frown was replaced by a look of wonder as she took in what had been placed on top of the files that inhabited that particular drawer.
She reached into the drawer and pulled out the carefully folded white rose. A tiny giggle bubbled in her chest as she twirled it round by its stem. Someone had made her an origami rose.
Her eyes caught the piece of coloured thread that had been tied around the top of the rose's stem and followed it down to where the other end was attached to another piece of card. Catching it between her fingertips she flipped it open and was unable to stop the smile that forced it's way across her lips as she read it's contents.
'This rose may not be red, but Happy Valentines Day'
