Chapter 1- We Should Have Dinner

Nathan

He knew he had to ask her now or he would chicken out and miss his chance. But even looking at her took his breath away and he was very nervous. What if she said no, what if she never wanted to talk to him again, how would it affect their friendship and their work relationship? She was a great partner and friend and he didn't want to lose her. He couldn't stop thinking about when she kissed him and how it had felt not just the physical but the emotional. When her lips touched his it was as if there was an electric current between them that made every one of his nerves explode to life. It was as if their lips matched perfectly together and he was so shocked that he didn't even have time to grab her and pull her close before she was gone again. She brought out the best in him and there was just something about her that drew Nathan to her so he finally worked up his courage and took a deep breath and just asked her.

"We should have dinner." It came out more as a statement than a question but he knew it was too late to back out now. He tried to smile and look as confident as possible but on the inside he was terrified. "Together."

Audrey looked down and he thought he blew his chance but then she chuckled to herself and said, "dinner?"

If he could feel anything he knew his heart would have been racing right at that moment. There was just silence and for a few seconds they were just looking at each other and Nathan saw Audrey think over the situation in her head just like he had been doing for the past couple of mouths. Finally she said, "sure."

Nathan never felt happier than he did in that moment but he tried to play it cool. He tried to speak but couldn't find the words, luckily Audrey spoke for him.

"Tomorrow night? We can talk about Lucy and everything."

She looked nervous and it made Nathan feel a little bit better to know he had that effect on her. For a while they just stood there like two young kids talking to their first crush, both looking at the ground and fidgeting when they had nothing to say.

"How about I make pancakes?"

"Are we talking dinner or or break, breakfast?" As it came out of his mouth he was horrified that he was actually saying that. He hoped that she didn't hear what he said or that he imagined saying it. But luckily Audrey didn't say anything she just looked at him, nodded, and then walked away saving Nathan from his own embarrassment. He couldn't help but take one last glance as she walked away and as he looked at her he knew what he was feeling wasn't just some crush it was much much more than that.

Audrey

As she walked away she couldn't stop herself from smiling. She knew she had liked Nathan for a while now and when he found Lucy she couldn't help herself, she just had to kiss him. He had helped her figure out so much about herself and he always put himself second. She was so happy that he asked her to dinner and he had been so sweet, cute and funny that she couldn't have possibly said no.

She couldn't wait for their date but she knew she had to be professional and concentrate on the case. She didn't know if it was a trouble or someone faking their own death but whatever it was her and Nathan would get to the bottom of it together like they always did.
